It starts at 12:00 Noon and is $10.00 "which includes admission to The Garden, a commemorative glass, and four tickets to purchase samples of beer."

The Brefest has a web site also located at: http://www.oregongarden.org/calendar/Brewfest.htmWho can/ ( Read more... )

Still making progress with the house. The roof is going to be totally re-done and I picked a roof color today. It was interesting to pick a roof color. I promised pictures in the last post too so here's the link finally.

The past week has been pretty big for me. I'm in the process of buying a house and that has been quite the adventure. At this point i feel a lot better about the process. I have the paper work in for my loan and am working on getting the final approval. Today the house is being inspected at 2:00 PM which I'm actually looking forward for it's ( Read more... )

I've taken my first step into being broke for the rest of my life. I have made an offer on an house and now the offer has been excepted. I put Escrow money down on Monday and hopefully everything else works out. It was definitely a more stressful day than normal but I'm glad that the offer ifs agreed upon, this really feels like the right place and ( Read more... )

I'm totally stoked! yesterday I purchased tickets for Cirque du Soleil Corteo Carissa and I are going on April 5th. I'm really looking forward to it even though it's not until April 5th that we go. I have been wanting to go to the Portland show for the last 2 years but it just hasn't happened. It will be excellent to go this year.

I participated in my first booster draft last night muerte, themabbi, and I went to Hobbytown USA in Wilsonville to get in on their booster draft. We called the store yesterday and they said to get there early because it's the first day that Morningtide is out and they expected the booster draft to fill up because they have 16 spots available. We decided to go ( Read more... )

I don't know what I was thinking at lunch today but my retainer ended up in the garbage at Burgerville. When we left Burgerville I couldn't completely remember if I left it at work (sometimes I do that) or brought it with me. I returned the office and that question was quickly answered, it was in the Burgerville garbage. I wasn't really sure what ( Read more... )

I haven't posted in a long time really and some really cool things have happened. For instance I have a cat now. His name is Link and you can see pictures of him here. He was found at my apartment complex and I ended up taking him in. he has been fun to have around and is hyper most of the time right now ( Read more... )

Had some fun last night. I was trying out different Linux programs to work with my iPod shuffle. I really want to find a program that will transcode my OGG files to either MP3 or M4a then put them on my shuffle. So far I have found programs that do that but they all seem to stop my iPod from playing music after the songs are put on it. My solution ( Read more... )

I have to post about this because it's just awesome. For my Birthday Carissa got me a Roomba! It just arrived yesterday and it has to charge for 16 hours for the first charge but it's totally sweet. I'm going to start it tonight and see how it goes. So far Roomba == Awesome. Now I'll have a reason to keep my apartment picked up and it might ( Read more... )
