My 29th Birthday Party:Your humble narrator recentley celebrated his 29th birthday on Fri, August 1st. I remember in high school I saw the B-rate 70's sci flick Logan's Run where in the distant Utopian future everyone is supposed to kill themselves at 30. So with a dismal mindset in these dog days a party was just the right thing. I'm fortunate at this point in my life to have all my hair, wear the same size pants I did in high school, and still don't need glasses. But I'm even more fortunate that 20 some-odd people show up to celebrate with me. Has anyone else out there heard that 40 is the new 30? God I hope so. Oh yes, and does anyone who was there have pictures? I forgot to take any.

Working at Nissan Pavilion: As many of you may know, this summer I've been working at Nissan Pavilion as a VIP usher and have had all sorts of adventures. The most interesting one came from working the Kenny Chesney show a few weeks ago. I had never been to a country show and it was a counterculture I had never encountered. Cowboy hats and drunk shirtless men everywhere. But the highlight of the show came when I had to break up a fight. (there sure are a lot of fights at these country shows, goes with the country way I suppose) There were like 5 guys beating some poor sob on the ground with lawnchairs. By the time we broke it up, the guy was all bloody. He looked up at us and smiled, saying, "don't worry about it, they wuz friends of mine. It was my fawlt." Ah, Manassas...
