SILVER SPRING, MD, USA Fun fact: 100% of the audience last night had blogs. All 1200 of them. Here’s what some of them had to say: http://www.dcist.com/archives/2005/01/31/the_arcade_fire_930_club_13005.php

SILVER SPRING, MD, USA The parallels between this and the now classic “Choose MY Own Adventure #1″ didn’t even occur to me until well after I had undertaken this venture, but now that I think about it, the two are very much in the same vein. I guess the easiest way to explain it is [...]

What do you do with a drunken sailor?

WASHINGTON, DC, USA Baltimore is to Washington as Ithaca is to Syracuse: a smaller, boringer city not too far away that, for one reason or another, seems to have no trouble luring residents of its larger neighbor to visit. In three years in Syracuse I only made it to Ithaca once, but there were at [...]

An angel in a polyesther uniform

MARLTON, NJ, USA When I don’t update for a while, generally it’s for one of three reasons: I’ve temporarily lost interest in the website thing. I’m really busy I have absolutely nothing to update on Over the past week, #3 has won out. Of course, there are a few things that I’ve been wanting to [...]

The Music Entry

MARLTON, NJ, USA I have this mental list of things to talk about on my website when I have nothing else to talk about. I think I’ll use one of them today. I don’t talk about music much because I really don’t know what I’m talking about and I usually end up saying something embarassingly [...]

Let’s think of something to do while we’re waiting…

Palais de l’Europe (extraterritorial area in Strasbourg, France) I had hoped to have a nice long recap of my last two weekends in Switzerland up by today. Unfortunately, I’m still not finished with it. This is going to be one of those really long, rambly entries that I’m writing more for me than for you. [...]

But first thing’s first: THERE’S A NEW CHOOSE MY OWN ADVENTURE! Remember back in November when I let you decide who I went to see Barenaked Ladies with? [...]

#5: Barenaked Ladies in “Rooster”/Choose MY Own Adventure. Part 5 of 9 in a special series.

Novemeber 12, 2003 This actually started off on my honorable mention list, but somehow kept working its way higher and higher up. Maybe that’s just because this is the most recent item on the countdown (it was just one month ago yesterday), but honestly I think it deserves to be here. I have a feeling [...]

“Would you like a baked good?”

SYRACUSE, NY Wow.  So much, just since Monday.  I got chewed out by a player while reffing an intramural hockey game.  “Do you know anything about hockey?  Have you ever seen a game?  You can’t possibly call that interference.  If you have to call anything, call a personal foul!”  That made me laugh (there’s no [...]

In honor of the new BNL…
