Pardon the Dust

by AltHippo @ 3:33 pm. Filed under Uncategorized

Over the last month I’ve doing a crazy little thing called “paying the bills.” This is the first breather I’ve had for a while. I know a number of people who are out of work right now. Thank goodness I still have a job.

Around the same time I had to start scrambling on the work front, Timberlake’s restaurant closed. Technically it’s still open, but it’s more or less on beer support right now. So, the tiny piece of the progressive movement I’ve been nursing along, has had to look for another place. By the end of summer, I think we’ll have a new place settled. Last week we were at Elephant&Castle, and that could serve as a short-term venue if it comes down to that.

Also, last Saturday I attended the first annual Roastacon, a celebration of all things not PUMA, and all things not PUMA Lite. By the way, DC Blogger your name (or really, your handle) came up at Roastacon, as the saving grace to an otherwise dismal state of affairs at the AOL (Anti-Obama Lexicologists).

I really liked the folks at Roastacon. For a bunch of polisnarkists, they’re extremely well-adjusted. I really liked NYC. As KCinDC said to me, I started to sound like one of those Manhattan types. You know the type, NYC is the best place on earth, and everywhere else doesn’t even count types. I hate people like that, and I was starting to sound just like them.

    There has been a tremendous amount of discussions regarding the opinion of professionals regarding Tim Tebow here of late, well it appears the fans have spoken.Tebow is, at best third on Denver’s depth chart at QB. But the 25th pick of the first round still had the best-selling rookie jersey since the NFL started keeping track in 2006.
