Absence makes the eHeart grow fonder

Sorry for the delay in immersing you in viral marketing, funny antics, and the up-to-date information on my life, but times are stressful and hectic right now. I'll post more in a week, but basically I've moved out of my apartment, into the trailer, sold everything I own, got a whole bunch of new gadgets, and now I'm in Portland.

Alley oop!

DCFC Concert + Primerica Dessert

Same week, same venue, different bands. Last night I pawned off the 7 extra tickets I bought (who knew they would up the capacity and not sell-out?) and met up with Hanna, Morgan, and Kaitlin for the Death Cab for Cutie Show (with Spoon and Mates of State opening). I only caught the last song of Mates, but they sounded alright. Spoon was quite good, but the crowd really wasn't in to it - like most opening acts. DCFC rocked out! I saw them about 5 years ago when they were still on Barsuk, and they were great then - shy, honest, and endearing. Now Ben's got his rock-star digs on and super-fantastic-rock-your-face-off light show, a new found boost of showmanship, and I guess it's harder to believe some of the more "tender" lyrics. Don't get me wrong, it was still a great show and they were incredible live - very tight and energetic, but I guess I was expecting the coy, nerdy Ben Gibbard with Coke bottle glasses.

After the show we went to the Hyatt and found ourselves at the San Diego 2006 convention. Wha? I guess Primerica was having an event - but all we really know is they had left-over dessert. Then to the service elevator and the Top of the Hyatt for a view of downtown SD.

Ben Harper Concert

As a last minute decision this afternoon, I went with Kristin and Heidi to the Ben Harper + Damien Marley Concert. Performed at the Embarcadero downtown, we got down to the equivalent of the 5th or 6th row, dead center. Great spot for a great concert.

Hey, that was great. I liked that. Don't you?

Yahoo's The 9 comes out with a daily digest of interesting sites around the web. Surprisingly, it's fairly entertaining.

Who wants to buy some stuff?

I've done a very good job of accumulating a mass of furniture, electronics, and other... stuff. So, with this, I am PURGING MY STUFF. Take a look and let me know if you or anyone you know are interested. I move from my resident domicile in 3 weeks, so I'm trying to filter down the amount of what I have to store while I'm gone.

Tiana's 28th Birthday

And it came to pass that the group of us gathered at Lilianne's house (with husband and children) to celebrate the birth day of Tiana Reinhardt Lee. This collection of photographs serve as a visual representation of that evening.

Flippin' amazing food, conversation, children's camera time, and PDA experimentation.

Sockish Dream

Last night I dreamt I found a drawer filled with all of my lost lone socks. I woke up and realized I was not so fortunate.

I also went on a jetboat ride with Martin Sheen.
