James Hurley House Concert

I went to Erik's last night and witnessed James Hurley play a "house concert" for a crowd of about 10. It was cool, the music was good. It was an intimate little concert, and unlike anything I've seen before. I even beat Erik and Brad at pool at The Breakroom (I won 2 games of cutthroat out of 3) after the concert and the following party. All in all, it was a very good evening of carousing, which culminated in a Number 8(2 carne asada tacos, beans and rice) at Muchas Gracias and a taxi ride back to Erik's house.

Now that I'm home, it's time to watch some new Doctor Who episodes and relax.

New theme blog

I've added a second blog to my stable, while this one will continue to be filled with the VERY random and infrequent odd post, tekfreek will delve into problems i'm solving, and how I'm solving them. Hopefully, one day I will have a wonderfully huge readership, and be super-geek-famous and shit. Who knows, but I'm sure I'll never be as awesomely cool as why.
