It’s been raining like crazy this week and it doesn’t help that HQ has a ton of leaky pipes.  I have no less than nine pots, pans, bowls and buckets set up under the various exposed pipe around here.  My landlady just got all the fittings to fix the leaks but wasn’t able to coordinate a “no water day” with the tenants upstairs.  So pots and buckets will have to do for now.

Earlier this week I designed and ordered a True Sharp sign to go outside of HQ and I just got a phone call (literally seconds before beginning this paragraph) saying that is ready for pick-up.  Exciting!  I’ll be sure to post some pictures once I get it up.

Before Busby left for Nigeria he gave me two free tickets for Sonic Youth at the House of Blues.  They were originally scheduled to play last September but had to cancel that show and reschedule for January 2010 (January = Busby out of the country).  I ended up taking Jeff and we had a really good time.  I didn’t think the opener sounded too great but Sonic Youth put on a really good show.  Afterwards, Jeff and I started walking up India Street waiting for a taxi to drive by and ended up walking all the way from HOB to HQ w/o a single taxi!  The walk was nice, though.  Thanks, Busby, for the tickets!!

This past weekend was my first “kegger”!  Nick arranged the whole thing and surprised me with it at his house. Did you know that Keystone Light costs $4/keg more than Natty Light?  Neither did I but it’s nice to know they aren’t skimping on quality control.  Thanks again, Nick!
