Last week, after sending off a note to Gapers Block about Matt serving drinks at Intelligentsia, GB Editor Andrew Huff and I exchanged a few emails. I’ve kept things under wraps a bit, but… long and short of it? I got offered a spot with the GB Staff and accepted (a few hours ago, no …
Bryan, sporting his new hoodie. He looks like he’s going to give someone a hug of some kind.
This was the first time I ever saw Chris wearing glasses. Who knew? Something about it… I dunno. He just looks more intelligent. Smarter, somehow.
A ton of us (there are a ton of us now) gathered at Rey’s house for a birthday celebration / meeting. As we’ve grown, we no longer go out for each person’s birthday one by one (we used to), but rather celebrate birthday months in one big group. We’ve also hired on a good number …
I understand that you’re trying to make us aware of the fact that you’re a manly man – the kind of guy who likes his beer, and likes to have it served by girls with big boobs. I get that. I hear you. But in reality, all that that shirt’s doing? It’s making us more …
This Friday, there’s a launch party for Literago – a website that Gretchen and Genie started up, and that I built for them. Their friend Nicole did all the design work, and I stitched everything together via Movable Type. Having only been up for a short while, the site’s gotten a good deal of press …
Drove down to Frankfort today, to spend Father’s Day with Liz’s folks. As always, there was plenty of good food to be had. Jealous? I know you are. Hell, I’m the one who ate this and… looking back at it now, I’m jealous. After dinner, we walked down the street a bit into downtown Frankfort, …
I’m a bit late with this news, but my friend and MFA alum Aimee Nezhukumatathil just had her latest book released: At the Drive-In Volcano. I’ve known Aimee a long while now (we met when we both attended OSU for our MFA’s), and while I’ve had the good fortune to read a lot of her …
Once there was a girl. Her name was Luba. She loves Pie. She has it for breakfast.
Around 3PM today, a few of us headed over to the nearby Intelligentsia to see my friend Matt (the 2006 United States Barista Champ), who was there with his coworker Amber, serving up some signature drinks. Matt, prepping a few drinks for us. On first hearing about this event, I figured we’d have the chance …
I’ve added a nice new RSS feed, over in the right column. Actually, it’s the same feed… but hosted through FeedBurner. I’m still futzing around with things, and learning a lot as I go (I didn’t really even mess around much with feeds until a few months ago). But I’m hoping I got things set …
Why do the Japanese always come up with fantastic game show ideas? This is genius!
Felix's Chinese name is Wei Tien. For the longest time, he thought his name meant "very sky." But he later found out it roughly translated to "Preserver of Heaven."
Felix was in show choir in high school. He can still pull out the old "jazz hands" if need be, due in no small part to muscle memory.
Every once in a while, Felix has some interesting run-ins with other Asians. At times, they're armed with cameras; at other times, he has the slight feeling that they might be armed, period.
