Then I put the laptop up and headed to Huey’s for the Dempseys.\u00a0 Ended up hanging out with a bunch of people from Calhoun’s (owners\/bartenders\/regulars).\u00a0 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.\u00a0 We stayed through all three of their sets, and they wrapped up around midnight.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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<\/em> I keep going?\u00a0 So I suggested the traditional Downtown end to Sunday night – FreeWorld<\/a> at Blues City.\u00a0 We stayed there for about an hour, then wrapped up the evening at the Black Diamond.\u00a0 I got home about 2:30 I think.<\/p>\n

You know, I hate this cliche, but I’m going to use it anyway… yesterday I worked hard, and I played hard.\u00a0 Recently, I had someone suggest to me, having read Seth Godin’s book Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us<\/a> $\"\"$ , that I start a tribe of my own, that I lead a movement to encourage more people to think outside the cubicle and the 8-to-5 schedule to earn a living.\u00a0 It’s not a bad idea.\u00a0 I may do it.<\/p>\n

In other news… early voting hours have been extended.\u00a0 You can early vote at any voting location between the hours of 9 AM and 6 PM.\u00a0 Early voting ends Thursday, October 30, though, so you better hurry.<\/p>\n

Plans for tonight… Pint Nite Pint Nite Pint Nite.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Still thinking I may hit Big Foot as well, for Monday Night Football.\u00a0 $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.<\/p>\n

First, though, gotta get some work done.\u00a0 I’ll be at Pint Nite around 5 probably.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
