I would love to join you guys, and celebrate your birthday - unfortunately I can't get a flight! Have a really great time, and we look forward to seeing some embarrassing birthday pics!
Sorry, no pics were taken (which is probably for the best :) Unfortunately, the only person who showed up that I invited via the internet was the guy who did the first interview EVER of me about the Receipt Site. Phil is pretty darn cool, but he couldn't stay long because he had to get to the Fugazi concert. Well, my Dixie-Chick-listening, shiny-pickup-truck-driving, pop-culture-adsorbing coworkers, who normally object to any music I listen to, let me talk them into going to see Fugazi.
I'm not sure how long it took them to ditch me, but I was having too much fun to notice -- I got knocked on my ass in the mosh pit, and my ears are still ringing, so his concert ranks as #2 in my list of favorite concerts -- right behind Reverend Horton Heat at the Blue Note in Columbia MO (10/1994)....all in all, it was a fun night :) My only regret is that I don't have FrAnKiE's phone number in speed-dial on my celphone -- "GUESS WHERE I AM? WANT ME TO THROW SOMETHING AT FUGAZI? WANT TO TALK TO A GUY WITH A ORANGE MOHAWK? here, say 'hi' to my brother...."
