My great friend / future dentist had her birthday celebration, so it was a night filled with hanging out with dental girls, talking about teeth and professors. Well they made Melanie do the energizer bunny routine, and march around the building beating on a tin can. O the shame, I sooo couldn’t do that. Also [...]
Another great information session from the Austin Music Foundation . This time I was to volunteer at the door, but as usual overstocked with volonteers, so I proceed to drink 20,000 Red Stripes while talking to a particular band about the hardships involved with marketing their band to a high school age demographic. A great [...]
Last week Jenny got a postcard in the mail from Shannon, who is now in rural Ohio working for catapillar (someone tell this guy he doesn’t need to be hanging out in rural Ohio)! For those of you who don’t know Shannon, he’s a very progressive thinker, one who definately believes intelligence isn’t necessarily a [...]
The 15th Annual Hot Sauce Festival, a gig that’s hyped as a competition between Austin and San Antonio for the stake of the title ‘best hot sauce in the world.’ Well unfortunately lines were too damn long anywhere to sample anything. It was only 95 instead of 103, so the weather was a bit more [...]

Speaking of all this tennis and bowling and Beastmasters only makes me think of some very special people in my life, none other than Kimmie and Randy Z. It’s also wonderful that we have finally synced up on email. It is a costmary tradition that whenever we hang out, we go to the bowling alley, [...]
Well last night the doc and I played some tennis, and easily kickin’ his butt, the doc gets mad, starts hitting balls over over the place. haha — funny stuff. It reminds me of a picture i took of the self proclaimed Beastmaster , who’s been pretty damn lax on the blogging as of late. [...]
It was my annual visit to the bowling alley this weekend too. I don’t know what I really think about bowling. I suppose I’m pretty good at it (I have a terrific lefty hook), but it gets pretty boring after a while. Fortunately the jukebox was loaded with the Cars, Springsteen, and Beach Boys. Here [...]
Friday 4:24 p.m., I’m sitting in my cubical at work, Jamie probably out conquering the world somewhere in HTown, we start conversing on yahoo and decide, hey let’s meet down in Shinertown and go on a Pub Crawl! Yippie! The pub crawl was in parallel with my english buddies, who are doing the same this [...]
