has anybody made plans to travel cross-country for this yet? I’d really like to go, but my upcoming trip to the other side of the world is leaving me feeling stingy. I’ve looked a bit at airfare, some of it isn’t too bad, and I might be able to use AA miles. Is everybody flying into the Charlottesville airport? Are there other decent ones to choose from? Apparently this marriage is too formal an affair for evite, so I’m still not entirely sure who is going. I assume the groom & groom will be there (rest assured my gift will include His & His towels, even though there is no registry). Who else? What’s your trip itinerary?

Also, the band Birdlips has filed an improvement to the original jowler with the addition of a fist to the scene. The knockout jowler. Unfortunately another local band Straight Punch to the Crotch failed to incorporate this improvement in their versions, even though Punch is in their name.

ass burger

Friday, March 28th, 2008 by some dude

Any time aspergers disease comes up in conversation, “ass burger” of course comes to mind with a snicker. It turns out there are real life ass burgers. If you’re French…and Canadian.

I don’t know why aspergers comes up so often, by the way … there was a story a while ago about Silicon Valley possibly being a hotbed of aspergers or something.

I think this is how a lot of our friends are feeling right now. Me too.

Ken Robinson, on how our education system is designed to kill creativity. I watched it and bought his book.

Big Wheel mod

One of my favorites (even though I only did it once), Bring Your Own Big Wheel (BYOBW) is on this Sunday at 5pm. They moved it to Vermont St, on good old Potrero Hill. From the pictures last year on Lombard St, it looked like there were crazy huge crowds! Guess they messed up the foliage a little much and had to move.

Here’s us riding down Vermont St. In a car. After Monkey Bowls at Lingba. Scott frantically keeping us on the road.

They have good values too…

Help Remedies was created to make solving simple health issues simple. We find the best solution there is, and take away everything else. By stripping away some of the complexity and fear mongering of the health industry, we hope to make the category friendlier and more accessible, and in doing so empower people to make their own health decisions.

We think a little help, honesty and kindness will go a long way.
