:-(

Well, at least I didn't have to drive all the way to Seneca Falls and back. The course was longer and slightly harder, but at least the instructor was nice enough. I'm afraid I passed. ;)

I don't, but in case you care.

Take 2

Today's the (second) big day... Three 'o clock in Syracuse.

Already...

Dang, I already missed one =/

I meant to post yesterday from home, but I forgot. Too many distractions. I'll have to find a really good picture to make up for it.

First, my favorite altered photo of the Trio.

I had a good weekend, Sara came to visit on Saturday, but no one was around for her to meet :(

I went home and spent that evening and Sunday hanging out with the parents. The Beef for dinner on Saturday was fun too.

Also, in the spirit of the coming month (especially the 18th):

A Post a Day Until the Headache Goes Away

I don't get it either.












Credit if you care.

Whew...

Hello folks. This week has been weird. Two fairly large assignments due in the beginning of the week, and then much less than usual. I've actually been getting some sleep :O, despite some weird *cough* dreams.

I've also been feeling a little weird, I haven't pinpointed it yet. Going out tonight with Campus Crusade helped though. It got me doing something besides sitting around and getting work done.

In happier news, I just preordered the new White Stripes single, The Denial Twist. Three versions, two 7" vinyl and one CD for a grand total of $35.21. I think the shipping prices have gone up or something, I only remember paying $25ish last time, and that had a 12" single in the set. Oh well, it's worth it, they are being imported from the UK after all. I wish I could go to the corner store and pick them up. Speaking of silly Americans, that reminds me of this screenshot from my favorite game of all time. (Click to ZOOM!)

Play it. Now! You can probably pick it for $5 somewhere. It's funnier than just about anything in the world.

Anyway.

I also got four more White Stripes bootlegs today... Those crazy French websites. I can hardly read them, but I can see the downloads and the date/location, that's good enough for me.

I didn't intend this to be a White Stripes post, but oh well.

One more crazy photo for the night...

Good night :)

Oh, before I go, a question to ponder. The answer to come.

Who is the smallest person in the Bible?

Detroit

(click photos to enlarge with much better quality)

A fun time had by all. Yes, the concert was amazing. Even Sara thought so, and you know how she is ;)



The trip, as you can tell from the pictures, was fun. I think it was 524 miles each way. I got some driving in, but I had an annoying cold on the way back, and I was getting too sick to drive. Sara likes to goof off in the car, and take pictures, lots of pictures... I think she took over 225 for the trip, 90% in the car.



We got to the concert itself, after staying at our Aunt and Uncle's house for the first night, on Sunday we went into Detroit to the Masonic Temple. The building itself was really pretty, especially inside. Soon after we got there, we realized we couldn't take cameras inside, so we had to call dad back to pick it up.



There were two opening acts, the Greenhornes and a band of which I didn't catch the name. They were two young boys (I would guess 8 and 11) a man on drums who looked like he could be their father. The novelty was nice, but it got old after a couple songs. They wasted the best of my hearing before the Stripes came out. The Greenhornes were quite good though, definitely worth listening to, especially their bluesy stuff.



The White Stripes were FANTASTIC. Unbelievable. They played all of the songs I wanted to hear, some I wasn't expecting, and even a couple I've never heard before. Here's the setlist:

Jack and Meg looked amazing, as expected, both splendidly dressed. Meg had black trousers and a plain white shirt, in striking contrast to Jack, who sported a full Mexican-looking black outfit. It was something like this, but not quite. Mostly black with some white highlights.

I liked what he was wearing at the concert better, if I ever find a picture, I'll post it. The set was amazing too, with white palm trees and stage lights. I don't know if I've ever seen some much red :)

I never had a chance to get one of the 3" record players, they only had 12 for the show. After the first 15 customers or so, according the merchandise guy, they were sold out. Oh well, they cost $100 dollars anyway, so I probably wouldn't have gotten one. Anyway, I had a great trip. As promised, lots of pictures, if two weeks late.

Yeah...

Dan = FAILURE

:P

More on the rest of the weekend later.
