Twice in one month! Heaven forbid!

Hey all I've had some pretty awesome stuff go down in the last couple of weeks, I'm going to try and sum up what I can, and there are a few things I won't toss out here as they aren't finalized but there is some cool stuff coming down the road.

First up, an incredible shout out goes to my little sister She just recently dragged me up to Cedar Falls and the University of Northern Iowa to see her 1 minute and 30 second of fame and glory for her 2 1/2 months of hard work on SWEENEY TODD. To qoute my little sister "It's a lovely story about rape, murder and canabalism..." Which by the way does sum it up, however it was really quite enjoyable and I'm glad I went. Molly ended up working on some masks that were used, and there were a lot of them, I'm going to guess around 50 or soand they all looked fantastic! I wish I had pictures, but sadly I don't (Molly toss some up!).

Molly also introduced me to a couple of people from Cedar Falls, in particular there was a lady by the name of Annie she was quite anxious for me to meet. I'm guessing Annie didn't actually believe that I exist, and that I was merely a phigment of Molly's imagination. Not much else to tell about the trip, except DANG the UNI dome is big! It is truely a giant structure, and something completely unexpected from Iowa. Side note I like UNI's stage for the performing arts better than ISUs

Moving on in the list of updates; I've been turned into a South Park character!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kathleen, Brian's wonderful wife, apparently has been found to have WAY, WAY, WAY too much free time on her hands, and not only turned me into a South Park charater, but has also turned most of her friends into South Park characters as well! It's pretty awesome all told, however look at how many images she has spent, and it seems, a fair amount of time creating... I SOOOOOO need to harnes this free time, with it I could.... well ruling the world is out it's not quite that powerful... mmmmmmm dunno something but it would be AWESOME!

For those of you who have been thinking I have lost my mind, good news! I might have ;-) At Gencon this last year I bought an absolutely fantastically cool game called "Ogre Bash" from Cloud Kingdom Games. If you've been to Gencon, you know these people as the riddle guys. But they really do put a lot of thought into what they do, and I commend them for it. Well about 30 seconds after getting home from Gencon, I promptly LOST the copy of Ogre Bash that I had bought. Hadn't even opened the packaging on it. Fast forward to last weekend (yeah it's something like 8 or 9 months later) I'm doing some minor cleaning and just HAPPEN to open a duffle bag sitting, litterlly, 1 foot away from my computer chair. Whalah, there's my copy of Ogre Bash! I felt like an idiot, however went to the new Bostons and played the game. General thoughts on Bostons: Drink selection need serious work, particularly with Old Chicago just down the road (Note: this means I can't play my semi-infamous waitor / waitress game :-( ). The food is good though, I would probably rank the food a bit better than Old Chicago. The tables are also a fair bit bigger and thus makes invading a table and playing games easier / better.

The stuff that's missing from here, suffice it to say, is all awesome as well. I wish I could tell everyone all the stuff / good news thats running around, but I can't QUITE yet. Hopefully the next time I blog I can spill all the beans I've got stashed away.

Anyway, time to get back to doing other productive stuff.

Parting note, I've finally started posting some of my Open Source Software stuff, most notably to start with are my svn-wrapper scripts which can be found http://www.eaglescrag.net/oss/ right now!
