Chinatown = Lunchtown

We (our little Emmis Interactive group) have been talking about going to Chinatown for a while. Well, truth be told, Ben and I have been talking about it for a while. And today, we took an extended lunch. Me, Ben, Matt and Jill all hopped a cab (Justin took the day off), and went to…

:violin:

Well, for those of you who know me more from an Internet/tech background, I used to play violin. I mean, a lot. I started when I was in third grade, kept on playing through high school. The show that Paul’s referring to, I believe, was at the Civic Theater, where it was a small production…

A Note From My Past

Felix – This is Paul. Do you remember me from a show at the Civic Theatre? I’m looking for a violinist to play for a show that opens the first week of March at Theatre on The Square in Indianapolis. I thought I’d try to look you up on the internet, but if I’m reading…

Dunphy’s

I stayed a bit (7:00 PM) and finished up a few things. Justin and I went down to Dunphy’s afterwards for a few beers. We watched some god awful television version of "Am I Hot or Not," which was as bad as you’re imagining it to be. Next to us, there were these guys who…

Fun Day At Work

Some long meetings in the morning, and another one of those days where I didn’t get close to a keyboard until 1:00, 2:00 PM. But the day was good, I got a fair amount done, and I’m happy with my job. How much better can you get? Ok, this made my day. I got a…

Blabbermouth Wanker

I spent most of today discussing ideas, brainstorming, yapping away. I didn’t spend much time at all in front of a computer, but talking with Ben and Justin and Jill and Rey… we all came up with some strong concepts, and I had a blast kicking things around. I feel really lucky to be in…

Guilty Secret #8

Up until about 7:43 PM this evening, I thought Dana Gioia was a chick. I was doing a search for Kay Ryan, and came up with his essay. Heh.

An Evening of Surprises

Stepping off the train – I found my little area of Chicago almost blinded by snow. For a good 30 minutes or so, snow just came down hard, the likes of which I haven’t seen for about two years. I tried taking some pictures, but they all came out pretty shitty – mainly because the…

Slightly Validated

I worked slowly, but I got it done. We’re re-skinning one of the radio stations, and I converted a few pages. I moved like a turtle, but I felt pretty good about weaving my way around Justin and Ben’s templates. At work, I’m the primary "contact person," so if there’s a problem (or a message…
