Dada is sick, Eva goes to work...
Photo-A-Day #1397

I woke up this morning at the exact moment when I should have been rolling into my seat at work. What the heck is happening? My throat was clenched and raw, my nose completely stuffed. I was knocked out in a bad way, so for the 1st time in years I had to call in sick. I then proceeded to go back to bed and sleep for another 4 hours. So I guess you can say I needed the rest.

From the looks of today’s photo I think Eva wanted to take over for me and head into work. Here are a few more photos of Eva and my tie.

I'm done with this tie

I did read in the paper today that my high school sent over 200 students home today with flu-like symptoms. I may have picked up a strain of this last night when I saw everyone at the Distinguished Alumni Awards. It is weird, I don’t usually get sick and I certainly don’t get knocked on my butt like that. Oh well, Eva pulled it together and picked up the slack.

This past Saturday night Allison and I went down to SOTP (Speed of Thought Players) to see a comedy show. There was not comedy show but there was a couple of bands playing. I never did get to put up my photos from that night so I am adding them here now.

Allison and I got some Bruschetta while we were hanging around, they may a nice little set of snacks here at SOTP. As you can see I even brought my XShot with me.

I brought my Xshot with me to SOTP and took a few pictures of my self with Allison at the bar.

This band was pretty decent, they did some excellent covers of stone temple pilots, pearl jam and more. They were called NewSonRising

Speed of Thought

The Comedy Cafe
Photo-A-Day #1385

Tonight I finally did something that I’ve been meaning to do for a while now. I finally went down to the Speed of Thought Players – Comedy Cafe. The reason that I’ve been wanting to do this is two-fold. I love comedy and want to be able to see comedy done in a venue that is close to home. This venue is a walk down the street from me. The second reason was that I am looking for a Tweetup place for local bloggers to go.

I went in and looked around the place as I’d driven by but never stopped before. Inside I met Tina, Mike and Ken. We talked about the venue, what they did there each week and the schedule of events. I then pitched them the idea of having a blogger night at the venue. I really want to start connecting with local bloggers and taking this whole social networking experience off the computer and into a location. They seemed interested in the idea and I began to talk to them more about social networking and how Twitter could be a big part of their business as well as Facebook and other means. They are on MySpace so that is a start.

The venue is very cool because it was decorated with recycled materials. They even have a player piano and a good stage area. Each week they have a workshop on improv that anyone can go to on Tuesdays, Thursday’s is open mic, Fridays is a “Who’s Line is it Anyway?” type event and Saturday is stand-up night. I think we might be able to work out a blogger night on one night during the week. The venue has what we would need for a blogger tweetup like food, beer, plenty of free parking and free wi-fi, I think those are some great options for a blogger tweetup. Also I asked about video taping, taking pictures as well and those are all fine too.

One thing that really stood out to me was that they used Moo cards and embedded them in the bar which in and of itself is cool but you have to see the artwork on the bar. I took some photos.

And then I got some roasted Jalapenos and chips and nacho cheese. They were waiting for me to bite into a wicked hot one but they were all pretty mild. No heat but they were tasty.

I think I’m going to go and check out the improv night tomorrow to see what it is all about.
