and still more…

Monday, March 29th, 2004

The Church were great; after that, we stopped off at a bar in hollywood for a friend’s birthday. Sunday looked to be relaxing, with a trip to the farmer’s market in the morning… but then dinner plans intervened, a few bottles with dinner and then a return home to scour the CD racks for inspiration…

today has finally seen things slow down a bit, but i’m off for a quick meet and drink in a few. in theory, it should just be an hour but the way things have been….

more craziness

Saturday, March 27th, 2004

After Wednesday’s bowling blow out, we had hoped to have a relaxing thursday night… but that didn’t happen. A 12 person dinner at one of the nicest places I’ve ever been in my life - the little door in hollywood - with numerous bottles of wine, then back to john’s house for a little nightcap which ended up lasting until 5:30 in the morning, and somehow involved indoor bowling directly into a fireplace.

Which gave me just enough time to down a few aspirin on Friday before heading off to Wendy’s art opening… any hopes of having a normal, low key night went out the window with the first round of tequila shots at Finns afterwards. Great turn out, good people, lots of fun.

Tonight, it’s off to see the Church at the HOB. Once again, little chance of there not being some drinking, but quite frankly, I’m pooped. A beer or two is it for me tonight. And tomorrow, I’m sleeping. All day.

bowl-a-rama

Thursday, March 25th, 2004

last night’s bowling was pretty amazing. wendy, myself, skeely, karl, graham, joey, karen and simon with our little group alone…. jon had another 20 or so people with him… 6 lanes… untold amounts of alcohol (mostly me, what a surprise)… and lots of crap bowling.

After, a quick run to swingers for chili cheese fries and lots of bad music, food fights, broken ketchup bottles and more. oh my!

whew…

Finished the move. All personal sites are done, most of the clients sites… just a handful more. Now to install mt-blacklist and be done with it… and get wendy’s blog up and running, of course.

what a few days

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2004

It’s been awhile - and this entry barely happened because i’m pooped from deleting well over 30 comment spams that built up over the past few days. I’m going to go ahead and install mt-blacklist when I do the blog move, which will be happening tomorrow… so no posts for the next day or so until the DNS changes.

It’s been a crazy few days - I’ve moved most of our sites over to the new server, which is a dream come true. Thanks again, Jason, for the recommendation. Lots of cool stuff going on in the next week or so as I play with all the new freedoms I’ve got tech wise.

In the middle of trying to do all of that, we’ve got Karl and Graham visiting from London, so we’ve been out just about every night taking them around LA, doing the meet and greets and whatnot. I headed down to OC Thursday to hang out with my dad for his birthday and had a little dinner… somehoe managed to throw my back out for a day or two so didn’t really do much exercise… friday, wendy and i spent some time working with karl on his new site then off to hollywood for dinner with john and to catch neil hamburger at the knitting factory with mike, anna and assorted others.. saturday, a house warming party at ej’s new amazing venice pad, so karl could meet some of our local friends, skeely, marie, blondell and a few others as well… sunday was going to be a relaxing day but ended up being another 15 person dinner at delmonico’s, where we ended up staying until well after they closed, drinking at the bar and lighting up and smoking… and old sk001 lock-in where the rules went out the window. most excellent.

And on Monday, we rested. well, not really, but we’ve seen absolutely no one today, taking today to catch up on work, continue the server move, and rest and recharge for what i’m sure will be an increasingly crazy week.

Off to bed. Comment spam away, you bastards, because i’m downloading the database right after this entry so you won’t make the move.
