Earlier this week I noticed that Threat would be playing at the Regent this weekend. I was excited about this and asked Ingrid if she wanted to go. Through out the day I also asked Duke and Chris if they wanted to go ( Read more... )

I found out a while ago that They Might Be Giants would be in playing at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland this week. I tried to get a good group together but in the end it was just Chris, Bo and I that went ( Read more... )

My son is a big fan of this movie and when he found out that the local Theater Pub was going to be showing it on Halloween he asked if he could go. Originally it was supposed to be with his friends but they ended up backing out on him. My daughter wanted to go too so I had to be there to chaperone. Because I knew he had been to a live showing ( Read more... )

I got a message from Chris today asking me if I would like to join him and some friends to watch one of his friend's band. I was up for that but had to make sure it wouldn't interfere with my dinner plans first. When all was squared away I planned to call at 8pm so we could get there before the band started ( Read more... )

For the October visit with friends I had planned to invite everyone down to my place. Well I put off notifying people and it bit me in the rear. Only two people would be coming down to visit. In fact only Tom replied and if he hadn't said Alan was coming down with him I would have called it all off. The other plus is that Alan brought the ( Read more... )

Chris messaged me today asking if "you and yours" wanted to go out to dinner because he needed to get out of the house. I found it ironic that I had just been out to dinner a number of times over the last weekend but was up for that. I messaged him back to see if he only expected Bo and I or if the kids could come too. He was fine with whomever ( Read more... )

Sometime back in August Chris and I made plans to go to Syun to celebrate his birthday. It's actually this Wednesday but the weekend worked out best for dinner. I invited Dustin, Suzie and Tim. Chris invited his friend Ben and his wife. Unfortunately in the end only Dustin and Suzie were able to attend other than Bo and I. That worked out find ( Read more... )

The title came from Sara's comment that it was a NOVA gathering. Both Don and I (and I think some other people as well) bristled at the comment. Hehe. I commented that I like to refer to it as Not NOVA ( Read more... )

Despite staying up until 2am and still not falling asleep until after 2:15 I was up and going at 8:30 today. I got ready for the day. While I was busy getting ready Tom called to tell me he was at the hotel. Unfortunately I knew it was going to be a while before I was ready to visit. I still had to get everything packed and us out of the room ( Read more... )

Today was originally going to be an unplanned Saturday with me at home doing nothing in particular at all. But Friday after some reading the billionth post on Facebook from a friend of mine about a Chili Cook-off he was participating it, it dawned on me that we should go (as something to do if nothing else). Because Tim is also a friend of Chris ( Read more... )
