Things got in the way all last week, but I'm finally going to get a final headcount for BMG tickets and buy them tomorrow. The best floor seats are already sold out, but looks like very decent seats are still available. And the price will be $55 instead of over $90, so that's good news ( Read more... )

I emailed this to a bunch of people, but wanted to put it here for those who get their news here. I plan on going to both of these, so if you want to coordinate and go to either (or meet there) as a group, just let me know ( Read more... )

I'm almost certainly going up to Atlanta Tuesday evening to see the Queensryche show at the Tabernacle. Anyone else interested?

They are the reason that game events account for ( Read more... )

On top of having had a blast Saturday night, the week has continued well. I went over to my parents place for dinner with the family. Before dinner they presented me with my early birthday present - a very cute and very sweet smoke-gray kitten who tells me his name is Mr. Sackson. He's sleeping and purring in my lap right now. I really need to get ( Read more... )

Yeah, I'm about as consistent at keeping this LJ updated as I am at getting... well, never mind. I spoke with Carolyn today at work and got the scoop on how well Chris is doing and setting up some social possibilities for this extended weekend. So here's the dealio for anyone who's interested ( Read more... )

I recently found out that Visions is having Board Game Night on Wednesdays at their new location on N. Burbank. I'm planning on going, and it would be very cool if I actually knew someone else who was going, possibly even meeting for dinner beforehand. Any takers - call me.
