Meh

Christmas has come and gone once again. Mine was ok, nothing too great.

Bring on 2010.

Christmas time

So I managed to beat my record of lasting 45 minutes at Kate's Annual Christmas party. Although every shot of 151 brought me right back to last year, and some vomiting ensued. Overall the party was a success and managed to put me in the Christmas spirit.

A few of us gathered at Hooley's to celebrate Justyn's birthday. I had a delicious Alaskan White Ale and even managed to leave with a souvenir glass (a true "keep the glass night").

Holiday Hootenanny

I am now officially in the Christmas spirit, thanks to the Holiday Hootenanny. Overall the show was pretty good and well worth the money. I feel like the venue caused most of the bands to fall short of their typical live performance, but it would be hard to have so many good bands on the same bill in a smaller place. Despite the poor mixing and echo of the large building, everyone except Manchester Orchestra put on a very entertaining show. I don't know if I'll be able to listen to that album again after seeing the band that created it. Spoon was by far the most talented and polished band of the night and deserved headlining status, even if the mindless, crowd surfing, moshing fifteen year olds didn't understand it.

Kate's Christmas party this weekend, should be a let down. Maybe you'll see me there for longer than 30 minutes this year. Bring on the Mistake Bombs (shot of 151 dropped into a glass of Double Bastard).

Home brew

I've been helping Eli and Lucas with their new home brew project and so far so good. We bottled a pale ale last night, English brown ale should be ready to drink this weekend, hefeweizen fermenting, and a red ale on the way. From what I've tasted so far, it's pretty impressive and can only get better.

94/9 Holiday Hootenany this Saturday. CAN'T WAIT!
