Out we went to Thee Parkside last night to see a friend's friend's band, Grand Champenge, play. Nice folk. We played some ping-pong. They are from Austin and were happy it wasn't very hot here.

Sweet. An Eggers comparison? I'm looking forward to the McSweeney's anthology next month. I say that... but then I get distracted and forget to read more. I'm so sad.

It is not as easy as it looks. TRUST me. It is nothing like bowling...bowling is done with shoes and a solid non slippery floor.
