After work, I met up

After work, I met up with Trent at Dunphy’s. Had a quick drink (and happened to run into Karen, who works as a concierge at the front desk of the Mart). Then, off to the Brown line to head back to Trent’s place. I spent a bit of time helping him troubleshoot his PC (he

Queensrÿche at House of Blues

Tonight was my first concert at the House of Blues. I’ve been here a few times, but only in the Foundation room – never for a show. And to top it off, I got free Box Seats thanks to Tommy and AJ. My ticket led me to a small room on the 2nd floor, to

Hanging Out with the Chelster

Chelsea and I have been talking about hanging out for a while, and our schedules freed up this Saturday. There was mention of a pinhole camera project some weeks back, but we decided on bopping around town instead. The two of us grabbed some coffee at No Friction Cafe and kicked around some places to

Of course there’s a second game

We decide to play another round (although Laura and Chris and Lesley bow out). We decide on 5-minute blinds, since it’s already pretty late and we go at it until about 2:00 AM. Ben emerges as the champion, and drinks from the keg of victory.

So it begins

Justin and I got there ahead of Chris, so we hung out with Laura for a while (Ben was off getting some chips and soda). We visited Emmett briefly (he was in bed, but wanted to say hi to us), and he was cute as ever. He showed us a toy dinosaur he had (with

Technical Difficulties

I finally dug my car out this morning (it’s been buried ever since the first big snowfall we had, many weeks ago). However, on getting into it tonight… it wouldn’t turn. I tried unsuccessfully for a while, then gave up and gave Chris a ring. During this time, I was to be meeting Justin for

This is something I

This is something I have yet to introduce to you all. Behold, the LORD AND MASTER STEIN™, symbol of virility and mighty, mighty poker prowess. Ben made this bad boy several months back. He created the design and ordered it through cafepress.com. Part bragging rights and part intimidation factor (and, let’s be honest, part awesome

Acoustic Performance, House of Blues

Went over to the House of Blues this afternoon, to attend a VIP acoustic concert sponsored by the Loop (another one of Emmis’ stations). For the past week, I’ve been talking with AJ, who helped coordinate our attending this event (and got us tickets to see the show on Saturday). Today, I finally got to

A Queensrÿche-Filled Sort Of Day

So this morning, Queensrÿche was in Q101, playing a few songs for the morning show. I ended up listening in the studio, and chatted a bit with their engineer and Luv Cheez. Hearing them perform was very interesting (they sounded remarkably like they do on their album). It’s a rare thing, I think, for a

Open Invitation

Anyone interested in attending the Chinese New Year celebrations this year? Last year, I was planning to go with Ben, but it ended up being just to cold outside to attempt it. I’ve talked with Howard about heading down there, and I plan on taking a lot of pictures. Anyone want to go and snap
