I wish I had remembered to take my camera out of Toni’s car last night, then I could have shown you a picture of the Dublin House, which is where I went. For those Constant Readers, you’ll know I’ve been there before. But on a Thursday night, you ask? Yeah, on a Thursday night. If I have the choice of sitting at home with the dogs watching Law & Order or drinking a Guiness with strangers at a smoky Irish pub, you’d better believe I’d choose the latter. (Although I must admit the former was tempting.) Actually, Toni called and said my housemate/landlord Rachel was going to stop there on the way home to meet a friend whom she hadn’t seen in ages, and that she asked if we wanted to go. I was game, so we went and met a bunch of Rachel’s high school friends. (Which, by the way, she accidentally told me how old she was by saying she’d been out of high school for 15 years.) They were quite interesting. One was a woman who didn’t really work, but was preparing to move to Mexico City to teach something. She’d just returned from Bucharest or Budapest or something like that. She was also a kickboxer. Another guy was apparently a international drug runner who smuggled ganja into the country from Jamaica. The one Rachel had gone there to meet was a gay guy who’d just spent some time in Hanoi, Vietnam. People get around, man.
I still have big plans for tonight and maybe even tomorrow, so stay tuned.
To tide you over, I found on Ted Leo’s Web site that you can download 3 demos for his upcoming album. Check them out:
Oh, this just in for today: One of my assignments was to create a logo for the 60th anniversary of D-Day. I got to dig through the physical photo archives and pick out some really amazing old photographs to scan and use for the logo. It was a trip back in military history, and also through Associated Press history, that is, how they file photos and stamp them and print them. It was very interesting.
Until then, take care…
