whee, traveling!
am in Chicago for the week visiting family and such. Tomorrow we're going down to the Taste of Chicago, and Sunday to the Bristol Renaissance Faire. My mom's never been to a renfest before, so this should be amusing ( Read more... ) -

Thurs., September 25 - Flogging Molly @ Verizon Wireless Theater
Oh yes I get to see them twice in one year! It'll be hard for them to top the Cherry Cokes as an opener, though. Japanese kids singing Irish folk music = AWESOME star to a show. Maybe they'll just bring them back. -
curse you, textbook industry
Last night Rob & I stopped at a Sun Ski & Sports Expo store. They were having a huge bike sale, and some of those bicycles were actually decently priced. I'm still reading up a lot on triathlons, and still want to do one some day. One of the biggest hurdles to doing that, though, is the price of a bicycle. Naturally I want a decent one, though ( Read more... ) -

2/27
Tomorrow is my 26th birthday, and I think I'd like to have a little impromptu get-together. So I'll be at the House of Te tomorrow evening around 8 PM. If you'd like, swing by, have some tea, hang out, all that good stuff. Nothing big. It's been a long time since I've seen some of you (which, yeah, is my fault), and I miss my friends. -
in case you didn't know--
There's a lunar eclipse tonight! If these freaking clouds go away, I'm hauling out my 'scope for some good ol' fashioned moon-viewing. I haven't watched a lunar eclipse like that since high school, and I was standing in 2 feet of snow at the time freezing my ass off with my breath fogging up the lens. So I'm hoping I can have a more pleasant ( Read more... )
