Tickets on sale this Monday, 2/26.
Nosebleeds start around $44/ticket, mezzanine is only about $70 (both prices before adding Ticketmaster’s fat cut of taxes and fees, of course).
I’m going for sure; let me know if you’re game, and we’ll coordinate from there. 
Fins to the left! Fins to the right! 
All y’all Parrotheads in blogland (closted or advertised, either way) should speak now or forever hold your peace.
Well, “scooped” isn’t really the proper term, more like “beaten to the punch”… the NYU College Republican Club has sparked claims of racism by organising a game called “Find the Illegal Immigrant”. According to Club President Sarah Chambers, “just because we don’t want illegal immigrants being able to completely disregard the laws of our country doesn’t make us racist.”
Pure class.
Yeah, so I like gaming of all sorts, especially the mild escapism appeal of a good RPG, but I’m thinking this dude went a bit far in his desire to be a knight in shining armor. Cavalry sword + misguided would-be hero + loud porno from upstairs = comically weird arrest report.
In other fantsy-world-come-true news, I think Scott summed up the reporting style used to cover the giant squid story best when he asked, “Is this biology taking a cue from D&D taxonomy or the other way around?” The relevant passage is this: “Colossal squid are found in Antarctic waters and are not related to giant squid found round the coast of New Zealand. Giant squid grow up to 39 feet long, but are not as heavy as colossal squid.” The relevant gaming reference is here (scroll down to “BIG AND LITTLE CREATURES IN COMBAT”).
After I got done talking to Kirsten, I went through the day’s mail and found a letter from the job that I had before I went to Dartmouth. You could tell from the outside that it had a check in it, and I was figuring they must have screwed up some paycheck far in the past and now owe me 31 cents.
It was actually a lot more fun than that. I didn’t know it, but there was some big class action lawsuit on behalf of all the temporary community college instructors in Washington state about health insurance. Apparently, they were supposed to cover health insurance for the summer even if we only worked for fall, winter, and spring quarters. It didn’t really matter to me at that point because I was covered by Kirsten’s health insurance. At some point recently, the state decided to settle. My share of the settlement was a whopping $730.
Wheee!
Unfortunately, that money is going to the plumber to finish the kitchen project.
Kirsten was flying from Dallas to Buenos Aires yesterday. Her flight took off at 7:30 Texas time and she was supposed to arrive and give me a call in the morning at about 8 am.
So I was a little bit surprised when I got a call at midnight.
Check out where her plane actually went:
Transponder Path of AAL997 Yesterday.
You can see that they said, ok, we’re flying, now lets turn towards South America. Hmm, there’s something wrong with the pressurization system. Ok, STRAIGHT line to Miami.
It ended up being not that big of an issue other than the police car fire truck escort to the gate once they landed. American had a new plane ready to go in about an hour and the new plane had fold-flat sleeper seats in business class. She said that’s the most rested she’s ever been after a flight.
Les le bon ton rouller if you’re Cajun!
Laissez les bons temps rouler if your a stickler about it.
and…
Let the good times roll for the rest of y’all!
As we say back home: Moonpie!
