Looking back, yesterday was really a great day. I realized I worked almost 10 hours on my websites yesterday, from 9:30 AM to 7:30 PM, minus time I spent taking a shower and relocating to Bardog Tavern and then the Saucer. Wow. I really got a lot done. On Sunday too.
Then I put the laptop up and headed to Huey’s for the Dempseys. Ended up hanging out with a bunch of people from Calhoun’s (owners/bartenders/regulars). Max had never seen the Dempseys before and it’s always interesting to see the shock on people’s faces that a band can really be that good. We stayed through all three of their sets, and they wrapped up around midnight. At that point I had planned to go home, get 7 hours or so sleep, and then wake up for a full day of website development and freelance work. But then Lauren asked, “Where are we going next?” and I thought to myself, you know, I’m no longer imprisoned by cubicles and schedules, and I did just work a 10-hour day, and I was having a great time… why the hell wouldn’t I keep going? So I suggested the traditional Downtown end to Sunday night – FreeWorld at Blues City. We stayed there for about an hour, then wrapped up the evening at the Black Diamond. I got home about 2:30 I think.
You know, I hate this cliche, but I’m going to use it anyway… yesterday I worked hard, and I played hard. Recently, I had someone suggest to me, having read Seth Godin’s book Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us
In other news… early voting hours have been extended. You can early vote at any voting location between the hours of 9 AM and 6 PM. Early voting ends Thursday, October 30, though, so you better hurry.
Plans for tonight… Pint Nite Pint Nite Pint Nite. If Jack’s Pumpkin Ale, recently installed on tap, is available at the Pint Nite Price (I think it is, but don’t take my word for it), I may have to take a week’s vacation from my usual favorite Dos Equis Lager. Still thinking I may hit Big Foot as well, for Monday Night Football. $2 34 oz. Super Cold beer sounds real easy on the wallet, plus Meghan will probably say something to piss me off and I’ll end up tipping 5% rather than my usual 30%, saving even more money.
First, though, gotta get some work done. I’ll be at Pint Nite around 5 probably.
