So I’m going away again. I leave later today (July 30th) and I’ll be back August 7th.
EDIT: Not leaving until tomorrow, the 31st. Not sure how my family screwed up that little detail, but whatever.

Joe is in charge of the news stuff again, and he’ll be approving any submissions you…submit.

Also, to whoever wins the contest, if you don’t want anything in the stores, or want me to change something, or make something custom, I’d be happy to. But, you’ll have to wait.
I’ve been meaning to revamp the stores for some time, but I haven’t been able to get around to it.

Its on my to-do list, along with blog comments and some other backend stuff.

Also, Dukes of Hazard opens next Friday, August 5th. Dunno if you guys want to do a screening of that, but if you do, you’re going to have to plan it on your own. Use the forums, they’d like the attention.

Oh, right, one other thing I wanted to mention. Radio Paradise, which I posted earlier this week, is amazing. At first, I had liked it enough to post it. But then I started to listen to it for extended periods of time, and its really, really great. Highly recommended.

I finally got my pictures developed, and they’re on Flickr right now.

I’ll update this post with an actual description of things later.
EDIT: Don’t have time to do that, I guess. I’ll make another post for that when I get back.

Oh, almost forgot. I found another good site online with decent pics from Greyfox 05 and years past.

Well, Joe’s intarweb is being spazzy on him, so I guess I’ll plug this show for him.

I thought I’d let you know my internet is being bothersome these days. It doesn’t load very much of anything, and when it does, it does slowly. I’m surprised it even lets me check my e-mail. So if you don’t see me online for awhile, that’s why.

MacBeth is playing Thursday through Friday, 7:30 PM, at Oddfellows as usual. Tickets are the usual price that I forget, but it’s something like $10, but less for students. In my brief year at the playhouse, I’ve come to expect the shows to fill up quickly, so call to reserve your seat. (860) 347-6143.

I’ll be there tomorrow night, so anyone else there make sure to say hi.

Dig it

Yup, I’m back.

Greyfox 05 was excellent, and the promise of another year on the hill made it even better. (Since I’m sure none of you know what I meant by that) There was much talk that this was going to be the last year at the Rothvoss Farm. It has been in other locations in the past, but all before my time. I’ve never been anywhere else. They announced Saturday night that it would be on the hill at least one more year, which is some of the best news I’ve heard all year.

Thinking this was the last year at this location, I brought cameras (those one time use things) to take loads of pictures. Once I get the pics back, I’ll throw em up online for you all to see, and I’ll probably explain more about the festival then, for those of you not familliar with it.

This was definately the best I’ve been to yet. The music and people were excellent, and I had a great time. That doesn’t do it justice, but to really go into it requires more energy than I’m willing to commit right now.

But, I’m back - and the weather here blows. Hot, humid, and I still don’t have air conditioning. Coming out of the world on the hill, back to real life, and crappy weather no less, sucks. Also, I’m lacking a project.

I need something to keep my mind busy. Before Greyfox, I think it was this site. Leaving it for a week or so has made me start to think about other things I could start / try to be doing. I’ll probably get back into the swing of things over the course of this week.

I was feeling sorta down when I started this post, but I’m feeling better.
Real life got to me, but I think I lost it, so no worries.

Alright, I’m gonna be gone until Sunday. Take care of the site for me.

Sorry, I’ve been sucking at updating the site this weekend/today. Starting the vacation a little early… eh

I’ll be taking loads of photos, and I’ll be sure to upload em when I get back.

Submit a couple stories, get more stuff on the main page while I’m not around, and get yourself in that contest for free stuff. Remember: free = good

Joe, good luck.
