Self Destruct your computer.

At least, that's what I hear is all the rage.

The next trick is to recover everything, while travelling too much.

The upsides: Got my first-ever bonus from a job. I believe that contracting for them would now be bad. It also means that I buy into Randycon early this time..

So, Friday I head down to San Diego.

I get picked up by a girl I know, to go hang out with two other girls I barely know, and drink lots.

Saturday morning, I think I slack.

Later on Saturday, we head up to LA, for a housewarming, for a guy I don't know at all. All of us crash there.

Sunday morning, we sleep...

So, Michael Moore at the Paramount on this past Saturday. Good show. Free tickets kind of help, and dinner at HaNa wasn't unwelcome. The girl I knew before the show, had a good time. The other couple, I think the wife portion enjoyed it, but the husband was uncomfortable with Moore's relatively tame (for Moore)) show.

Dropkick Murphys played at the Moore Theater this past...

Spain was tough. And nice. Nice, but tough?

Maybe 20 hours of true work.
Another 40 hours of drinking and eating at nice places.
Another 30 hours in airports and airplanes.

Too much cervases.
Too much sangria.
Not enough time to wander.

I debated smuggling a bottle of cuban rum back - but in this day and age, I don't want to guess what they...

Barcelona, Monday, for a week.

I thought I was stuck doing presentations, but I'm more just a figurehead, which is cool by me.

I thought I was getting in a day ahead of the rest of the people going, but we're now all on the same flight.

I thought I was staying two extra days, but everyone is staying an extra day, so it's really...

My job for tomorrow....write a new job description.

Dumb.

Detroit (Friday to Today)

Friday: Fly in
Saturday: Wedding Rehearsal, Dinner.
Sunday: Visit my cousin Joe
Sunday night: Bach. party
Monday: Wedding
Tuesday: Commuting people to airport, Flogging Molly
Wednesday: Buy a belt, fly home.

Each of those are a range of stories.

As a side note, failing to pack shoes, and not having time to buy shoes...moshing wasn't too painful in birks. Good times.

GenCon Indy - tiring. I was friendly enough to see random gifts from multiple game companies.

Saturday night at the show, I get an invite to a goth/industrial/techno club. At one point, I'm standing amidst three cute girls, and at the same time, they self-consciously try to introduce me to the other two "strangers".

Eating on the company dollar is cool. Steak and drinks every...

Arrived back from San Diego ComicCon

The Field is an amazing irish pub, with the best food on the face of this planet.

I leave again tomorrow, for the midwest.

Just got back from the Origins game convention in Columbus, OH. I apparently already missed two deadlines that were given since I was gone. Too much work says I.

I have two weeks to kill until San Diego Comic-Con, followed up by GenCon-Indy.

Followed closely by a wedding in Detroit.

And then at the end of August, I leave for Europe for a week. So...
