*kicks Colin in the shins...again*

This is just a quick note since I don't know where you all might be on here as individuals (if at all). I want to apologize for being such a royal crabby appleton at the event. I was not at my personal or professional best and I know some of you inadvertently got the short end of the stick of my att...

I've never seen Doug a few sheets to the wind. What an interesting experiement, er experience! I mean, what an interesting experience!

I will bring my wee tent that can sleep 2 1/2 to 3 people depending on size, consistency, and how much they like each other. I will be departing from my part of the State (Ann Arbor area) Friday after work (immediately, if I can plan it well), but welcome the idea of carpooling. Gas is doing nothing...

OK, so I'm probably the last to know this, but I happened to catch that Carrie Fisher will be at the Detroit ComicCon this weekend (Saturday, specifically) doing pictures and autographs. Nothing for free, of course, but in case Doug wasn't already going with his Stormtrooper unit, I thought I'd put ...

In an effort to simplify and clean out, I am looking for a home for my fencing equipment from college. I have a very good set for someone just starting out or for someone who just might want extra stuff on hand. 2 foils, left and right handed. Original grips (the leftie is leather) but the blades ar...

The first FH game will soon be upon us (yay) and if this weather continues to improve to such fantabulousness (double yay), it is going to feel SO good to get out in to the woods for a few days. I look forward to seeing all of your pretty little faces! Just to remind you that, while you're going thr...

Just thought I'd share some info I saw about the A2 Symphony Orchestra doing a concert on 22 March featuring space music (Star Wars, 2001, The Planets, etc) and best of all...come dressed as your favorite sci-fi character (ooo, ahhh)! For parental-types, there are kids' activities prior to the conce...

How incredibly awful. Is there anything we do to help out in a material sense? Clothing? Food? Blankets and toiletries? I know we can't do anything to replace the irreplaceable, but we can all help out with the little stuff. If we need to, we can take donations at the first event if someone can get ...

Could be worse, Lleana. You could be born ON V-day and have your birthday overshadowed by a silly holiday! I didn't know, so I hope you had a good day! I'll have to make a note of it and maybe next year we can have a combo birthday extravaganza! Had I known, I would have tried to do it this year. An...

I can't remember who filmed it, but I think footage of the chicken show/attack should at least get a bit of honorable mention. Bacgaaaw!

In my addiction of "Going Through and Getting Rid Of" I'm liquidating some CDs that I just plain don't listen to anymore. And I know CDs as such are old school tech, but I have a "Wheel of Time" soundtrack that I thought I would offer to any Robert Jordan nerds here before tossin...

I think any event that includes, but is not limited to Chris, chickens, and those FREAKING AWESOME cashew turkey thingies that Shane made is well worth it. I know this is a bit after the fact, but I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who showed up, period. I was really impressed with the sheer nu...

I also checked out Jim Butcher's actual website and saw more dates. For those of you who might be more Chicago-oriented, there's going to be a big midnight release party with the author himself (and where more appropriate than Chi-town?) at the beginning of April. It sounds like it will be way cool ...

Just read a blurb on the local radio station's "happenings" list that Jim Butcher will be at the Borders here in Ann Arbor on 13 April doing a signing of the new Dresden Files book, called "Turncoat." Just thought I'd drop the news in case he doesn't make it to the west side of t...
