You’d think with all of this spare time on my hands, I’d be writing blog posts left and right. You’d think. And it’s not for lack of fodder, personal or otherwise. Weetacon was over a month ago and have I said a peep? I have not. And this past weekend, Jake was here and it was in a word, amazing. Between the wonderful Iron Horse Hotel, the tour of Taliesin, the road tripping across the state, introducing Jake to the Wisconsin experience known as a supperclub, laser tag with 8-year-olds, and then dancing all night to one of the best house mixes ever (but then, it could have been the copious amounts of Red Bull and Vodka consumed), it was an amazing time. Oh yes, and we saw The Killers too. That right there should tell you how much fun I had: when one of the best concerts I’ve ever attended becomes an afterthought.
This weekend, Kevin and Melinda are here, burning up some free Midwest tickets on a weekend with nothing in particular planned, other than lounging. Melinda has hinted that she’d like me to cook dinner for them, and since it was her birthday a few days ago, I can hardly demure. Between that and a freelance project, I expect that I’ll get very little done on the To Do list, but I’m posting it again, just to keep myself accountable.
If you like that kind of thing, it’s after the jump.
