Hey, going down to Portland this weekend for a wedding. We’re staying with Colin and Diana and hopefully we’ll be hanging out with George a bit, too. I’ll try to take photos.
Also, as Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force says, I put one and one together and decided this site is starting to piss me off. It seems to be down half the time. The web hosting company says it was some domain routing things which they claim to have resolved. We’ll see…

Well, no one seemed too excited about my DNC postings, but whether you like it or not, the election is coming.
