Fresh as the day I was born ;). But really I shaved most of my beard off. I was sick of food getting stuck in it, plus it made me look old.

I don't think my cheeks have been exposed in three years. I keep shaving a little more off every day.

Paul bought tickets for us to go to the Kerfuffle before Christmas concert down at the arena.

Before we left we got our first snow.



I love the colors of the old train/our current study.


Matt and Kim turned out way more interesting than their albums. The Kim girl had a crazy body and insane amount of energy. She walked out and danced on top of the crowd.

Børns was pretty good. Third Eye Blind was pretty awesome as well but they had a weird churchy vibe going on in between sets. Terry got hit on by a girl and people were smoking up everywhere.







The Bavarian Einhörnchen Squirrel came down with us! We bought him earlier in the day at Neo.

When (e:paul) and (e:terry) went to a work party for (e:paul), they got all decked out for hob-knobbing at a fancy Saturn Club party.

I went out on the Black Rock King Rollers ride, which went out to Hot Mama's. Claudia and I whooped ass at shuffleboard - 23-11. She claimed to have never played. I think she's a shark.

I wrote an advertisement for (e:strip) up on the board at Essex. I don't know if it's actually the first blog site but nobody fact checks bathroom chalk boards.

Have you ever had unlimited nachos that were from Lloyd's and not founding fathers? I have, and it was amazing.





(e:flacidness) please do not make this face!


Bear night. We hung out with Tyler, and Jon and Dale who we run into once a month. This guy at Funky Monkey reeeeeally wanted to take pictures of (e:paul), (e:terry) and I. Nackt or otherwise.

Last week we decided to go beyond the Clinton Bailey Market to the food terminals across the street. I'm pretty sure they're run by the same people.

Do you know they sell eggs there? Allegedly grass fed free range. There's even the used up corpse of the chicken who pooped them out.


The first store we went into was a weird dent and scratch reseller. They sold trim, toilets, sinks, and a thousand of the same model printers that had an Amazon label on it. Is this where your Amazon returns end up?

The second one was a restaurant food supply place. My mom used to buy bulk bags of mozzarella (that's where so many pizzas originate (e:uchina)). If you ever want five pound of pepper flakes, or mayonaisse by the gallon, be sure to stop here.


We tried Hydraulic Hearth again for brunch on the way back. I thought Paul ordered a coffee but it turned out to be a double shot, oops.
