Service, where have you gone?
Posted by: | Comments 0 viewsAs a service provider, I’m ashamed of the reputation that these individuals are giving this industry. The fact that some of these corporations can call this “service” is just flat out appalling. A couple of examples.
Example A:
I pay about $150 / month for cable&internet. Yes, that’s a lot, but given the fact that I usually order the WWE ppv of the month (@ $40′ish), I would expect to pay that. This includes DVR, VOD, ALL of the premium channels (hbo/cinemax/starz/etc) and digital cable.
When ordering the premium channels, I’m supposed to receive the appropriate channel’s VOD for free. This is good, because Mike, Tony, Jonah and I have started watching Entourage. My usual reaction is to put it onto DVR then to bust that onto the DVD drive.
Unfortunately, I missed the first few episodes of this season. Thankfully, HBO has this on demand, so I can go back and grab ‘em. Well, when I tried , I was told that my account was “over the spending limit”… Errm, WHA????
I pay these guys between $150-$185/month and the jackasses have the nerve to tell me my account is over the limit on something that’s supposed to be free????? That’s just flat out outrageous
Example B:
I ordered yet another server last month for the monitoring application, because it was starting to tie up my main too much. One of the critical things in this was that a remote reboot port was provided. This way, I could reboot it online, if necessary.
When I ordered the server, I had them add extra ram to it (512m) so that my application would be able to work properly. When I got the server, I found that NOT only the extra ram was missing, but the control panel (not that I need one, but it helps in many things). I was shocked. These guys were paid to do a job, and the job just was flat out not done at all. Sure, they setup the OS, but didn’t do anything else. The network card was setup improperly, the core OS was WAY out of date, the Reboot Port wasn’t functioning, the server wasn’t licensed for numerous things, and all in all, it was a literal mess.
Most of this stuff I had setup within 24 hours, but I JUST got the reboot port in (3 weeks after ordering the server). When posting this experience online in various forums, I was told that -=I=- was in the wrong for doing so, and attacked. Like I need to be attacked for expecting what I pay for, right? NOT!
Example 3
My billing client is on a recurring monthly payment, just how I want it. I have this setup this way, so that I’m assured that I’ll be up to date, and actually get support.
Now, I’m not a hard guy to do business with, helll, most of the time I don’t need (or want) support, as long as things are running as they should be. In this case, though, I am paying for support, so, damnit, I want it!
Since February, I’ve noticed said billing client has been changing the dates of the individual charges around. Why? Because I told it to invoice 5 days prior to billing, THEN bill. That’s how it should be!
I’ve had a ticket opened since July 1st on this matter, and NO resolution has come from it. The previous tickets (3) opened in this matter all were closed BY them, with absolutely NO resolution.
Now think about this a minute, I’m paying for support, paying for updates, and the jackasses coding this can’t even put together a fix for this? NOT COOL!
Oy Vey, I could go on and on with examples here, but I think that I’ve said enough here. What happened to the days where the customer was always right? Where have the actually “customer service” individuals gone? Is it SO wrong to want what I pay for in a timely fashion? Apparently so.
Beam me up, Scotty
Posted by: | Comments 0 viewsNot exactly the best actor, hell, he was typecast for so long as "Scotty" that I doubt he had much other success, but it’s over.
The man was 85 when he passed on, which, well, it’s not incredibly long, but it’s longer than the average male. Interesting.
Even more scary? This line from the BBC article recording his death. Now THIS shows a lot
———————
Doohan became a father again at the age of 80, when his wife Wende gave birth to daughter Sarah.
———————
Jesus, 80 years old, still screwing around (despite the alzheimers). Not ONLY that, but having a KID @ 80? Jeeeeezus. The only bad thing is that his daughter won’t ever know that much of her dad.
Oh, well. The world of Star Trek loses another. I guess it’s to be expected, we all grow old sometime

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Posted by: | Comments 1 viewsTo start off, this movie is only loosely based off of the first one. I thought it’d be more based off of it, but hey, I was wrong.
The first thing I noticed missing was the part where Charlie and his grandfather go into the soda room. You know, the one where they end up floating to the top of the room? Yeah, that one.. Probably something that could have been made a LOT better was just flat out left out. Oh well, can’t make exact copies of movies like this, otherwise nobody’ll go and see ‘em, right?
Other than that, the movie pretty much lived up to expectations. I didn’t expect too much from it however. The comparison to the original was there, and it was definitely not a copy of it.
Johnny Depp (whom I am not a huge fan of) made the Wonka character seem more, well, unusual than I thought necessary. In fact, he was borderline gay (not that I have anything against gay people, mind you). His acting was definitely good, though.
This movie covers more of the WHY than the original movie. For example, WHY was the factory closed for years? Well, we learn the truth about Slugworth, etc, and that THAT is the original reason why the factory was closed.
Another thing covered in the movie (a necessity due to Depp’s strangeness in the character) is WHY Willy is a recluse. Surprisingly enough, this has nothing to do with the first WHY. We actually discover that this has to do with his upbringing, and the fact that his father was a *gasp* dentist, who, obviously despised candy.
The trip through the factory was essentially the same, sans the aforementioned part left out. The children are all spoiled little brats, sans Charlie.
At the end of the movie, we see the elevator, which, surprisingly can go ANYWHERE, not just in the factory. In fact, they ride back to Charlie’s house in the elevator. Unfortunately, here, the plot strays again.
In the original, the factory is offered to Charlie, no questions asked. However, in this one, the factory is offered, and the stipulation put forth that ONLY Charlie can go, he MUST forget his family, and live like a recluse.
Thankfully, after realizing how miserable he really is, Wonka goes to see Charlie (after visiting his Oompa-Loompa psychiatrist) and they work through things. Charlie and Wonka go to see his dad (Wonkas) and the two patch things up.
In the end, Charlie gets the factory, and Wonka ends up eating with the family , almost every night, becoming a member of the family, essentially.
If you’re a die hard Wonka fan, you might not like it, because of the differences, but I think Burton put an interesting spin on the character (as he usually does), and brought it more to life than possible. The effects were great, and the Oompa-Loompas were hillarious.
Enjoy!
Internet Tax, and other news?
Posted by: | Comments 0 viewsFirstly, Internet Tax may be closer than we think. Like the states (or government) needs to take any more money from the individuals. This is just an absurd thing to think about, really. I mean, “internet tax”? Don’t we, as users pay enough for internet access as it is? Are the individuals going to end up taxing us just to be online now? When do the taxes stop? this i just absolutely absurd. instead of taxing more, how about spending more wisely. You get enough money as it is from individuals. Stop spending the money giving yourselves raises, or on $25k toilet seats, or airplanes, or whatever, and START spending the money efficiently.
As a business owner, the way that our government is spending funds is absolutely appalling. I mean, we promise billions in “aid” to people, yet can’t even clean up our own debt? Who ends up paying these billions of dollars? The government? NO. The end user, the citizens of the country supposedly spending OUR money without ANY authorization from US at all. This is just absurd. So , now we’ll end up paying an “online tax”, it looks like? Jesus f’in Christ people, get your shit together. STOP trying to take down individuals who are just trying to make a $$$, and START cutting your own salaries, spending efficiently and acting like a BUSINESS. Jesus, is it THAT hard to ballance a budget? Get off your asses, pay off our debt, QUIT spending “social security” money (which you have no rights to, as individuals who did NOT earn it), and get your shit together!
Secondly, this article sounds like someone could be making some good headway in the internet piracy area. If individuals want to download flicks, make it legal to do so. Provide individuals with legalized ways to do this.
Morgan Freeman, one of the few actors I can actually respect (as Mike would say, he’s been in damn near everything) has proposed , and is developing something where distribution of movies, EVEN when in the theatres, for a cost will be legal. Now THAT’s what I’m talking about there. We’ll have to wait and see the cost of this program, but this is a damn good thing (or could be, providing that the movies could be previewed somehow before purchasing).
Let’s face it, this won’t solve ALL of the problems, but in cases like mine (I don’t drive, get to the theatre once a month if I’m lucky), this would be a win-win situation. I could purchase the movie, watch it, transport it to a format legally, and watch it elsewhere. Genius, absolutely genius!
Will this take the place of theatres? naah, some movies you just HAVE to see in the theatre (EP3 is one of those), due to lighting, effects, all that crap. watching these on a pc (I’ve done so) or in a home entertainment system just doesn’t cut the mustard.
Will this solve ALL piracy? No, definitely not. You’ll still have shitty actors (and artists) putting out shitty films (and cds). Take the new LB cd for example. That cd is the absolute worst piece of shit that I’ve seen. I wouldn’t force my worst enemy to listen to it, it’s just deplorable.
-RIAA/MPAA-
Get a clue here. legally, all users are entitled to a backup of their dvds and music, for whatever reason. By employing encryption technologies, you are thusly interfering with MY PERSONAL rights as a law abiding U.S. citizen here. There is NO excuse for taking away someone’s rights like this, or attacking children and old folks who can’t stand up for themselves. Go the hell away already. Quit trying to manipulate the weak.
Here’s a thought:
Instead of taking the individuals to court who can’t pay for shit, how about taking the individuals who CAN pay for this to court. You know, the individuals who inspire all of this, the actor who puts out a shitty film, or the artist who puts out a shitty record. Yeah, right like that’s going to happen.
In the end, theft is, agreeably, wrong. However, it’s just as much THEFT when an individual pays $20 for a dvd which completely sucks, or a cd which is the worst that they’ve ever seen. Can they get their funds back? Nope. Soooo, what recourse do we have?
One of the major reasons I support downloadable software is because I can try it on my system BEFORE I buy it, to see if this is something I need, or will solve my problem. This type of attitude should be adopted by the industry. Not 30 second “previews” of albums, or films, but give the user a reasonable preview of things, and let them decide for themselves if it’s going to be what they want.
Anyways I’m out.. Enough has been said on each of these topics, just my personal way of saying what’s on my mind, as always. Is anyone listening? Naaah. More importantly, do I care if they are? Naah.
Peace,

King Arthur
Posted by: | Comments 1 viewsThe movie started out before the legend itself did. It showed (possibly) how he met the knights, and showed what really went on. Of course, the legend is still just that, a legend, but when creating a legend, it’s always good to provide background, something for that legend to be based on.
Unfortunately, the movie starts too early and ends WAAY too early for my taste. For example, Lancelot dies before the kingdom is ever established??? Errm, what? The movie ends without anything from the infamous "round table"? No mention of the knights beforehand? Yes, there’s the crew that travelled with Arthur, and his men, but I wouldn’t really call these men the infamous "knights of the round table".
Don’t get me wrong, the movie itself was decent. I just think it could have been maybe a two or three parter, drawn the storyline out a bit and we could have seen what really happened here. Admittedly , the whole thing is still a legend, but come on, make the legend believable, or STICK to the legend, don’t twist it to your own molding here.
Personally, I think they could have left off the whole ending to things, where he’s supposedly crowned (but did we ever see a crown?). Who knows, maybe they’ll put out a sequel, but it’s not too likely.
I’ve always been an Arthur (and other legend) fan, which is why I picked this one up. A bit dissapointing, but not all that bad.
Lata,

Herbie: Fully Loaded
Posted by: | Comments 1 viewsHerbie’s a classic, you can’t really go too wrong with ‘im. Of course, you really can’t go to a HERBIE flick and expect anyone else to get more time on film than him. Seriously now, it IS a Herbie flick!
The film itself was good, a bit cheesy, but they weren’t going for the "adult" audience here, they were going for the kids. Admittedly, that was a mistake, I mean come on , most of your Herbie fans are my age or close to it, and you want to get them in to see the movie too, right?
The ’special features’ really could have been a bit better, but, Herbie’s not about ’special features’, he’s about the racing, he’s about the car, he’s bout being Herbie!
It wouldn’t be a Herbie movie without, well, without Herbie chasing after some car (of the ‘female’ persuasion). Come on, it’s Herbie!!
The acting was decent, couldn’t get much better than Michael Keaton and Lindsay Lohan, really. Well, maybe you could, but hey.
The plot was good, typical plot. Herbie gets junked (gee, we haven’t seen that one ;)) , girl (Lohan) gets Herbie from the junkyard , Herbie freaks her out when she sees what he can really do, much racing ensues, girl pisses Herbie off by saying that her ride in a ’stock car’ was the best of her life, blah blah blah.
End of the day, girl and Herbie make up, and, well, they win some Nextel/Nascar championship!
Surprised? Not really, it IS Herbie after all. This is pretty much the same plot over all of the movies. It really doesn’t vary, nor, honestly does it get old. I went to see what new and exciting shit they came up with , and wasn’t let down.
One thing this movie’s inspired me to do is rent the originals and watch ‘em again, through NetFlix. Most likely, I’ll be doing that one next week.
Anyways, enough about a classic remake. Hopefully they put more thought into the next few (if they do more), and do a bit better story line!

Vacation 2005 - Can we say plan, anyone?
Posted by: | Comments 0 viewsThis year, I’m starting to really doubt this plan, though. Don’t get me wrong, I’d LOVE to be there, but nobody (and I mean nobody) has any dates set firm for being there. Everyone’s "waiting" on my sister, who, as much as I love ‘er has the same skills at planning shit as my mom does.
Unfortunately, she doesn’t seem to understand (or, maybe the word should be "care") that the closer things get to the date of travel, the more expensive the tickets are to pick up. Yup, they are rather decent now ($290 from Moline, IL both ways) if I take the flight RIGHT now, based on my sister’s assumption (She THINKS it’ll be the 11th of August she’ll be there), but what the hell happens if she doesn’t get the house? Then, I’m stuck in Washington ? Not that I mind being stuck in WA, but the major part of these trips are to get everyone together on my dad’s side of the family @ once.
I (really) look forward to this year’s trip though. Hopefully I’ll be able to find a few days to hang out with Jodi n Ewi, which looks like a very good probability. Hopefully (as well), I’ll be able to spend some time in Spokane, doing silly stuff. I’m not sure about all that though, at the moment.
Vacations are good, already planning the RCPM trip to Mexico in October (will be about $3-400 per), providing Patrick was serious about going. That’s going to be an adventure in and of itself, a weekend of drinking, listening to RCPM (and whoever they get as a special guest) play, and just kicking back in Mexico. Gonna be SWEET
Back to the topic at hand though:
Can we pleeeease set a date for this WA stuff so that I can get the tickets? Otherwise, I’m screwed. I WANT to go, but if nobody gets their heads out of their uknowhats and sets a date within the next couple of weeks, I can’t. It’s unreasonable to expect everyone to just buy in at the last minute, ESPECIALLY with ticket prices around here (W’loo is a minimum $800, which is why I’m going through Moline, 2 hours away).
Looking forward to this thing this year!
Peace out,

Let it go already (let the past be the past)
Posted by: | Comments 0 viewsFirstly, I’m not going to apologize for that article. Not to Michael, not to Andi, and certainly not to anyone else. Why? Because it’s who I am. I speak my mind, nothing more. I’ve said the same things over and over and over and over again to Michael, and others have done the same I’m sure.
Does this mean I “hate” either of the two? No. In fact, quite the opposite. If they’re happy (especially Michael), then hell, I’m ALL FOR it. Why? Because a happy Michael is a good thing. So is a happy Tony, a happy Tom, and so on and so forth. If Michael is happier with Andi around, in his life, then sobeit, and I’m all for it, trust me.
Think of it this way (seriously, now). If I couldn’t stand the individuals mentioned, then WHY would I go out of my way to make sure that they got back home safely the other night? Or, why would I have bothered to answer my phone the next time? Even better, WHY would I have bothered to provide what little help I could have? I would have simply gone on home. It’s not THAT far from Michael’s to my place, and it certainly wouldn’t have been a reach for me not to call back, or not to answer the phone the second time. Had that been the case, AAA would have helped, yes, but, guess what? You wouldn’t have seen help for a good while.
Has Mike changed over the past year and a half? You bet. Has it all been bad? No. Has it all been good? No. In fact, the majority of it hasn’t been either way, just growth. I mean, we ALL change from time to time, right?
Keep in mind, one of the most common mistakes in ANY relationship is to go into it with your eyes closed, thinking “oh, I can change them”. I’m sorry, but it aint happening. If a person WANTS to change (ie: quit smoking, quit drinking, quit doing drugs), that change has to come from THEM, NOT you. Nagging them to do it only makes it worse, seriously, and eventually they will only resent you because of what you nagged them into doing. I don’t want that to happen here gang, seriously;)
Now, I admit, when I wrote that last entry, I was a bit heated. I forget why, but I was, no worries. Does that mean I didn’t mean what was said? Maybe not in the exact wording, no, but what was said was meant.
When it comes to me, I know I can be brash, harsh, and down right fucking rude. If you think I’M bad though, well, wait until you’ve spent quality time with Eric. I guarantee you, on a good night, he’ll get you really going. -=I=- usually only do it when I’m pissed, HE does it deliberately to piss people off;).
Again, I’m not “hating” either of you people, in fact, I’d consider Michael one of my closer friends, because of how much he’s helped me over the past couple of years. Yes, we’ve argued, yes, I’ve told him to fuck off, but that’s how it is, that is exactly how life goes. Live it, learn it, get over it. DO NOT harbour it inside you, otherwise you WILL regret it years down the line.
Patrick said something rather awesome the other night. I agreed then, and I agree now. Life is all about enjoyment. If you do NOT enjoy your life, then others around you won’t enjoy being around you. If you act like you don’t enjoy your life, then others will slowly stop being around you. If you DO enjoy your life, then, the others around you will notice, and if you DO act like it, well, obviously those around you will as well. Life’s a funny thing like that.
All that said, I’m going to say a bit more , and hopefully we can turn the page past whatever went on whenever. Note that I don’t say this out of spite, I say this out of an attempt to HELP matters here, not hurt them.
Andi:
It’s great that you think of Mike as your world (and it’s obvious that you do to everyone around you), but you need to expand that world, into friendships outside of that and the like. Go out after work sometime, a Friday night, Saturday night, or whatever, and hang out with people from work. Even better, call up some of Mike’s friends and say “hey, let’s go do this”. Just because they’re his friends doesn’t mean you can’t do things with them without him around. Develop social activities outside of things, otherwise WHEN things go bad , then you will seriously be deprived, and one very alone individual.
Mike:
I’ve said it before, in not so nice ways, but you do need to stand your ground in things. That’s not saying be an asshole and say “hey, this is how it’s done” in everything, but you DO need to stand up for yourself, and for your friends in many things. I’ll leave it at that
That said:
Congratulations on (almost) two years. While that’s certainly no guarantee things will always succeed, it says a lot about things, and the both of you. I wish nothing but the best for the both of you.
So, why the long assed entry here?
Honestly, I’ve felt like the heel for the longest time, for no other reason than the “I’m doing this with Andi (even if it’s only sitting @ home, in the pool), and because she doesn’t like you, you’re not invited” attitude. I’m just trying to make an effort to publicly clear the air here, and HOPEFULLY we can start this whole damn headed thing the right way.
Peace, love, and all that flowery shit!!

Now that the dust has settled
Posted by: | Comments 0 viewsI knew Michael and his family (read: grandmother, mom, grandfather) were going over to Tama to do some gambling. Originally, not thinking about fathers day (I had forgotten that Sunday was), I mentioned that I wanted to go. This was like Thursday night last week I think. Well, he mentioned it was a father’s day thing, so I said don’t worry about it, I understand, completely, don’t even bring it up (because I DID understand completely).
Imagine my surprise when I wake up from my nap Sunday (yes, I nap, during the late morning because I’m up most of the night most days until 3 or 4 , working on something, then back up around 8), get myself straightened up (smoke, all that), and he calls me, asking if I still wanted to go. Of Course!! I’d never been to Tama, and, while it’s not exactly a thrill a minute, it’s not the worst either.. I ended up losing $90, Mike won $50, his mom won $200, and, I’m not sure about his grandfather.
So, on the way back, we talk about his mac, what’s wrong with it, the fact that it’s just not working right. I tell ‘im to bring it over that night and I’ll look @ it. We go back to his place, and partake in pizza (I still could swear his mom said $200, not $500, but hey, I could be wrong;)).
From there, Tony runs me back home, and we wait for Michael to partake in the latest Entourage episode (HBO short series, great show). Michael shows up and , well that’s it.
We all knew the plans for Monday, in fact it was hard NOT to know them. Everybody was meeting @ Michael’s place on Monday afternoon around 4pm, we were going to Des Moines in 2 cars and it would be a hell of a good time. In fact, it WAS just that, a HELL of a good time. However, I’m going a bit ahead of myself here.
Mike and Tony went home around midnight (they had to work), and I sat there looking at his poor, depressed iMac sitting on my floor, so I started tinkering with it. Lo and behold, he was right, it wouldn’t start properly. Well, that led me to figure out just how I could do it, I grabbed a copy of tiger from one of my usual torrent haunts (he lost his copy), and start working to get the thing put back together.
The next thing I know, it’s 8am Monday morning, and I STILL haven’t slept. Imagine my surprise there. Well, give me a task like this to do, and I’ll sit and do it forever, seriously! I called him, told him what was going on, he said he’d call on his break, so I laid down, and tried to sleep. Damnit if my phone didn’t keep going off, waking me up though, so I just got up, and went right back to working on the beast.
Eventually, it’s noon, and, well, STILL no sleep for this wolf (seriously). At that point, I just said "screwit, I need sleep". I laid down on the couch, and crashed until about 1:30 when Tony showed up.
So, going on about 2 hours of sleep, I shower, get my ass moving a bit, run across the street for some wake me up shit, and get ready for phase two of the best Monday EVER known to me ;).
430 rolls around, we’re all there, but waiting on Andi. Typically (for a female;)), she was late, showering, doing the makeup thing, you know the drill. No worries, we STILL got there, and STILL got there in plenty of time to get dinner.
On the way to Des Moines, we stopped in Iowa Falls, at the Walmart you can "see from the freeway" , which is actually a good 10-15 minutes down the road (no, you can’t see it from the freeway), because , well, Patrick needed his glasses.
Finally, we get to Keysters at around 715, all checked in, paid, and most of us (everyone but Michael and Andi) head across the street for grub. The vivarin is kicking in about now, so I order something to absorb it. One thing we ALL know about Eric (or at least we do now;)) is that he’s a slow eater. Well, this was no exception, and, Tony wasn’t having any of it. He tried like mad to get Eric to hurry up, so that he wouldn’t miss the opening act, which, only got Eric more determined to eat slower, KNOWING it was pissing Tony off;) . That’s just the kind of person Eric is. Had Tony said nothing, we probably would have been out of there close to 8, but hey, I didn’t care, the openers were nobodies anyways ;).
So, we walk into the bar @ 830, hear the rest of Shurman (the opening act), and, I go up and order my first drink of the night. God DAMN if their prices weren’t outrageous. $4.25 for a bloody C&C (as opposed to $2.25 here). Oh well, I figure I’ll cut down that night anyways (yeah right;)).
Shurman stops at 9′ish, and everyone migrates from where I’m at to Michael’s table, which, I was being nice and staying away from, because of a certain individual’s distaste of me (my final thoughts on that one a bit later, and they’re not bad;)). Eventually, they all walk back over, and Michael comes over briefly. Apparently, he didn’t want to leave Eric over there too long with her, which we all understood completely.
FINALLY, Roger and the Peacemakers show up around 930, and it’s just a non stop blur. I pick up my second drink, and just go all out. I HAVE pictures, but my USB cord is messed up , so I’m going to end up picking up a card reader here next week sometime, and they’ll be on the site then. Patience , and you shall see the Rogue’s gallery of pictures I have
Around 10, Roger declares the bar’s having 2:1 specials, and I was ALL over that. For the rest of the night, I was lovin those 4.25 C&C’s, because they were cheaper than they are here. The setlist was just blazing awesome, they played buffalo which I’d never heard live, Captain Suburbia, which, just rocks live, psychosis, which, while I’m not a HUGE fan of does indeed kick the ass live!
Close(r) to midnight, they do the farewell thing, and we all end up hanging around. The BEST part about these guys is the after show. Yeah, Roger puts on a hell of a show live, but afterwards, well, they come out and chat with the fans if they have time. Only difference is I don’t think we let Roger MAKE it from the bus back to the bar, he got mobbed outside the bus by the IA fans (and a couple of the Icemakers).
Roger is about the most down to earth person I’ve met, he’ll talk to anyone about anything, and he loves to talk (well, and drink). You can’t help but love his style, and his band.
On the way back, Andi got a flat, I got the call from Eric who was riding with them, and Tony and myself went out to fix it. I wasn’t much help (hey, I’m just me, a dumb computer nerd, remember), but I could at least hold the donut on, despite all the things said about me (yes, they got back to me) by one individual mere hours before. We got the tire put back on, Tony went home, and the rest of us went to Mike’s place, parting ways.
Yesterday is more of a blur, mainly because I AGAIN woke up at 930, after going to bed at 5am. Damn my insomnia/phone. Oh well, I got pleeenty of sleep Tuesday night, and I’m about to head there again, after one more entry. Great show, great trip, HELL of an event people, let’s try to do it AGAIN next time (oh, and I want a piece of whoever says I can’t go AGAIN, that just flat out wasn’t right, given the fact that I more than pulled my own weight, both times I’ve gone).
Peace,
