I don't really have anything postworthy for the Triad, but it's been a long time since I have contributed. Let's see...down at The Brown Elephant, I work with a bunch of gay guys, all of which are quite interesting and hilarious(the thrift store where I work exists solely to raise money for Howard Brown Health Center, which, in turn, exists for the purpose of providing health care for the gay and lesbian community who can't get health insurance because of AIDS...or something like that)...I enjoy it...and I've been drinking pretty heavily on my days off, which has also been interesting(by which I mean awesome). Cyndee came up last week...we had a couple beers and watched Secretary...it still seems a little strange to hang out with Cyndee without at least one of you guys around. Umm...other than that...Craigslist thinks that I and ALL of my coworkers are gay...it's closer to half...my thriftPod is all kinds of awesome...though my very brief experimentation with iPodLinux has already taken it's toll in the form of button fatigue (Doom involves a lot of control pad mashing...I don't recommend it)...and on that note, I'd like to give a big thanks to all of the rich people out there who buy iPods for the specific purpose of breaking them in every possible way and then writing about it on the internet...umm, I've ended up watching quite a lot of Project Runway with Meg and Bergen...and that usually involves more drinking...and that's about it...I've been doing everything in my power to keep my my consumption of cooked flesh at an acceptable level...but the occasional tofu makes it's way to my stomach, as well...what can you do? I can't wait for you guys to come visit...and to reciprocate...but I'm pretty sure that Renn Fayre is a no-go...it'll be quite a while before I have vacation time...however, you can be sure that the northwest coast is at the top of my list...
Oh, yeah, there's a shop a couple doors down from where I work that sells Old Peculiar...with which I have been very intrigued since reading about Eric's exploits in London...so I'm going to try it out when I get paid...hooray beer!

Good to get some knowledge about this whole having a job in Chicago thing. Sounds pretty good to me. Rennfayre is sad news, but there's always next year. And if you never make it, we will create our own Rennfayre one day, and it will be beautiful. I keep making spring break plans, and then they get screwed up, so I still have no idea what I'm doing yet, but if nothing works out there's a possibility I'll just fly home, in which case you can be damn sure I'll be driving to Chicago. I'll keep you posted. Find some other ridiculously awesome item at your thrift store, like an external hard drive for a nickel or something.
Please do...the possibility of one of you visiting me here in Chicago is the best news I could hope for...that would be...wow...if you came and visited in the near future...I would shit my pants...so fucking awesome...I miss you guys so fucking much...I want to show you guys around this place...introduce you to the crazy/wonderful/insane/triad worthy people that I've met so far...
