My MoH Speech at Raye & Rob's Wedding
Back in the mid- to late-2000s I was in my mid- to late-20s. When I met Raye back in December of 2005, I remember liking her right away. So it was of little surprise when she and I decided to move in together just six months later. There are so many ways that scenario could have played out. For us, it was life-changing start of a beautiful ( Read more... ) -
Bachelorette Party
Saturday was Raye's Bachelorette party. As MoH it was my job, with considerable help of Christine and Dani, to make sure the bride had a bitchin' time. I got us a large suite at the Grand Hyatt downtown, we had a stripper coming and then we had plans to get to South Lake Union where we had VIP seats for Jello Wrestling. After that, the plan was to ( Read more... ) -
Merry New Year!
I was going to write some sort of retrospective on 2016 but fuck it. The past is behind us and I've already really hit the ground running in 2017. Raye's bachelorette party is tomorrow, the wedding is a week from tomorrow. With the holidays and being in vacation mode I needed a bit of reminding to light a fire under my ass on the planning but once ( Read more... ) -
Giftmass
We were really looking forward to Christmas day this year because we had a big surprise in store for my parents. We bought them a trip to New Orleans. Andy came up with a way to present their gift that we put together. We had to come up with a lie about them going to Las Vegas to get their names as on their IDs and make sure that my mom could take ( Read more... ) -
Happy Birthday to ME! Catching up.

2016's theme song
I still can't help but feel like the distraction of the holidays and life goings on is like ignoring the fact that we are sitting in the middle of a burning house. I'm even trying to not pay *too* close attention to the news of who Trump is bringing in because it all is so infuriating and depressing and I feel so damned helpless ( Read more... ) -
Goings on outside of politics
Though it feels like I'm sitting here writing about banal shit paying no mind to the house fire I'm sitting in, there has been stuff going on before and after the election that I feel I ought to mention for memory's sake. In particular, I've gone to a couple of shows and the Schmee's gala & auction happened. Lots to tell.

The constant back and forth
Because I'm one of the few last holdouts on LJ, and you can see the tumbleweeds pass over here, I thought that maybe I should repost my thoughts in my last blog on FB. But I decided that the Book of Face doesn't need the opinion of another white person. Writing is the main way I process my thoughts and it's okay for me to do that here, in my own ( Read more... ) -

Successful QC Weekend!
This was a QC weekend. As our October show, this marks our 2nd anniversary. (Woot!) Also as the October installment, we decided to do the panel a little different and have comedians on who do character work. So our eclectic panel included a superhero, a Klingon lounge singer, Senator Bernie Sanders, and Mister Rogers (from your childhood).
