Boy, what a day! A few days back, Ghost Dog's better half discovered that on Saturday, September 30th, actor, writer, and all-around wise guy Bruce Campbell would be in town, at the McMenamin's Bagdad Theater doing a book signing for Make Love! (The Bruce Campbell Way). Naturally, Ghost Dog and I were eager to attend.
The [...]
Today, Ghost Dog and I hit two festivals in the area, The Portland Pirate Festival, and the Portland Polish Festival. K couldn't go, unfortunately, because she had to spend the day studying.
The Pirate Festival (held at Cathedral Park in the St. Johns neighborhood of Portland) was pretty fun. It's a very family-friendly event, with inflatable [...]
Had a fairly busy weekend again. On Saturday, Ghost Dog and I went over to Snooks house for a small BBQ/party (K joined later after her full day of class). On the way we swung by Belmont Station to pick up some import beers… I picked up two new English beers I hadn't had before (and [...]
Looking at Willamette Week's online site just now, I saw an article about how the violinist Lisa Molinaro of Talkdemonic (great local band, whom I saw again this past April) will be joining The Decemberists on tour for their upcoming album The Crane Wife. Pretty cool, and go Lisa!
This morning, as I sat down to my computer with my cup of coffee (my morning ritual, as I shake off the slumber) and loaded up my daily nerd news sites it dawned on me that today is the fateful September 11th. If this seems strange to you, that I didn't think about it well [...]
Earlier this month our good friends Jason and Jen tied the knot, and on Saturday they had a party to celebrate the event. Thought I'd write a quick note of congratulations to the newlyweds. Here's to a long and happy life together, and have fun on your honeymoon!
I'm a full-fledged Oregonian, I can't help it. Right now it's raining, the first rain of any substance in a few months, and I'm happy as hell. I enjoy summer, don't get me wrong, but weeks of 90+ degree heat kind of brings me down. Today was great, mid-70's and sunny during the day, nice [...]
Last night I hung out at Moon & Sixpence with my good friend Ghost Dog (I better not get sick, dammit) while Kelly and GD's better half were off seeing the play Wicked.
Tonight, Snooks (and later, my brother Travis) and I hung out at Kennedy School.
This week has been a bit odd, probably because [...]
In case any of you sci-fi nerds out there haven't already heard, SciFi.com is airing 'webisodes' of Battlestar Galactica starting tonight, running every Tuesday and Thursday leading up to the October 6th premiere of Season 3. They're only about three minutes long, but still interesting, and feature some new faces as well as some regular [...]
I just loaded up BBC Radio 1 to catch the Chris Moyles morning show, and was a bit surprised to hear them talking about the death of Steve 'Crocodile Hunter' Irwin. I quickly went to BBC News and found the article confirming that he died from a stingray 'sting' to the chest (into the heart) [...]
