Oops, did it again, didn’t post in a long time. So, um, I’ll just say, more later. I have some pix to post. but in the mean time, check out Kittie at WORT by going to the Photo Gallery, then scroll down to concerts then get to the pix of them at the WORT studio on monday the 14th!
last weekend I went down to chicago to check out Rush at the Tweeter Center with Tom, Bruce and Robert. Tom and Robert both have pretty good posts about it, so here’s Tom’s, and here’s Robert’s! Great time! And a Super Big thank you to Tom and Bruce for all of their hospitality!!!
Saw Harry Potter #3 on Sunday and that was pretty good, although I think I spent too much time trying to remember and compare it to the book!
Monday was Mosh Pit night, Mike went to see Rush in Milwaukee and made it in for the last half hour or so. So Andy came in and had a few picks in place of “Mike’s Picks” It was cool and nice to have someone there also.
Tuesday… yay, softball. Oh wait. BOO Mosquitos and getting shelled by a bunch of home run hitters. Oh yeah, and I play 1st base… never touched the ball. I was robbed of a home run, hit the wall on top of and in front of the scoreboard, so it bounced back in play. Blah. I got a single. yay me.
Wednesday, I picked up a new cellphone! My old one has been acting up and I was eligible for an upgrade with the plan I have with Cingular So, I’ve been drooling over this certain model of cellphone that just came out with a bunch of fanfare. It was too expensive through Cingular and was available after some weak long-term rebates on a few web sites. Also, to really use the full capability of this phone it helps to have a certain headset. So, to my delight, Best Buy had this phone with some instant rebate and a good healthy mail-in rebate, and the free ($100 value) wireless bluetooth headset Here’s the Phone, a Motorola V600, and a Bluetooth headset So, I think this is my 5th or 6th cellphone. Each time I’ve gone the cheapo route and got the free one with the plan, but have always wanted just a lil bit more. This deal came by at the right time, just a smidge more than free (after rebate) and has just about everything I wanted in a phone. Camera, midi and mp3 ringtones, color screen, speakerphone, the bluetooth (wireless connection with devices within 30 feet) thing is way cool, PIM functions, etc etc. So yeah, enough about the phone. It’s cool, and a new toy for this big boy.
So as I’m driving home, turning the corner into the condo thing, Sandi and Farrell are on a Harley zippin out. Normally this would be normal, but they weren’t on Farrell’s bike. They were on Sandi’s new bike! A Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 Custom. 
Yup, my sis is a Harley chick now. It’s a cool bike, she decided to take the plunge and hopefully she is safe and stuff! She has her temp license and will take the bike safety/learning course over the next few weeks.
This weekend I have Tim, and I’m stuck at work on Saturday from Noon - 5. I get to air NFL Europe football and a baseball game. Yea! Sit there, watch sports, press a button every half hour or so. Woooopie doooodle. It’ll be cool to see Tim again, as it’s been a bit over a month. I don’t have anything extraordinary planned, but it always works out fine.
Congrats to the Tampa Bay Lightning for winning the Stanley Cup. I don’t care what sport it is, seeing a Game 7 of Stanley Cup finals and having a team win it is the coolest damn thing in all sports! Enough to make a big guy feel a lil weepy.
Tentatively, the band Kittie is to be coming into my radio show Monday night. Tune in if you can! It’s really quite an honor to have some nationally (internationally, they are from Canada!) recognized bands come into my lil old radio show.
RIP: Ray Charles, Ronald Reagan and John P. ”Jack” Urbain (Sandi’s best friend Holly’s Father)
My friend Mike called on Saturday and said that our fav Local band Mirror Black was playing that night, so I had something to do! That was pretty cool. Ended the night at Denny’s with the slowest kitchen service ever! Got home way late! Sunday was Memorial Day fun with a cookout at my friend Jill’s house, bunch of people came and hung out, played Outburst and watched a couple movies.
Monday, I golfed with my dad and his friend tom. It was my first time out this year and I did pretty good for a 1st time out, heck, a good time for me period. 2nd shot off the tee went 270ish yards! We played 9 holes, and I just came back home to get ready for the Mosh Pit. Then off to my dads for another cookout! This time we had buffalo burgers. Yummy.
Tuesday was softball night, we came away victorious as we did last thursday. I think i have a home run in the last few games.
Last night, it was Mike’s 40th B-day! We went to the Prime Quarter for some steaks, then over to Visions. ugh. I honestly don’t care much for strip clubs, as they are kinda boring, but hey, birthday fun! The few of us that went chipped in and got mike the good treatment on stage with 2 “dancers” The look on his face within the first few seconds was priceless and worth the $$ we chipped in right away!
So that’s about it for now. This weekend, I get to go down near chicago and see my friend tom! and bruce too. The main event on the itinerary is going to see Rush on Saturday night!
That’s all for now, off to a 10pm softball game! UGH!
