ok maybe not. I'll say one more thing-

Tim Duncan, you are old. But you can be the David Robinson to DeJuan Blair's Tim Duncan (confusing I know...)

Chitown

Yeah I'm coming. No I haven't bought tickets (I'll do it next week when I have enough time to breathe) (before that though I have another 2 concerts and a trip to Florida for an audition)...

Quick Ballin' post #1- Playoff pics

I'm crazy busy with school and concerts and my mom visiting and getting ready for an audition in Florida, but I wanted to at least get these up for proof before playoffs start tomorrow.

Quick lunch break repost

I'm taking a lunch/ coffee (it's awesome how cheap brewed coffee is compared to chichi mochachinno coffee flavored drinks) break in between class and practicing and found this article in my regular blog readings. It's about progress at the FX Matt brewery, otherwise known as Saranac. Reminds me of the random nights spent down on the cheapo Commons bars drinking Black Forest. And even older memories of helping my dad and Tim Mount bottle the wine in our basement (the beer was theirs never mine). Actually those experiences are really my first encounter w/ craft beer. I wasn't ever exposed to BMC stuff as a kid because my parents never drank them. I can't say if that has affected my current drinking much but it might have.

Stressful weeks

I had a very long week w/ rehearsals up the wazoo. I don't think I was home before 9 any night this week except for yesterday.

But it seems that so did a lot of other people, which makes me feel a little better- a least I'm doing something I enjoy, even if it's a little too much right now.

Anyway, to people out there who are feeling overworked and emotionally drained: I wish you the best and will do my best to offer what support I can.

And a side note to AK: I'm most of the way through and I'll try to send at least what I have done by 6.

Just a quick repost for interested Itowners- Ithaca Beer has a new brewer joining the chief-
