Quick hits

OK, there’s a LOT that’s going on right now so keep your refreshing instincts keen. Outside the blog I need to buy plane tickets to California and pay my taxes, but inside the blog there’s a crapload going on, too.

Check out the sidebar for the posts that are up so far, but I’ll put up some fancy little intro’s for those who need a little taste of what’s in the mini-blogs. We might have a friend of the blog cover the Chicago/Calgary series but there’s still a few left if you’d like to jump on board.

In the mean time, check out Bangin Panger for our reverse guest posts in the “Onus” series. Also, Vance put up a great little post about blogging that is worth reading.

By the way, with all that’s going on I haven’t been able to keep the blogroll current. Please e-mail me if you’d like to be included.

Finally, it sounds like Spade in Victor Hell of Battle of California commenting fame will be joining me for Game 4 of the BoC, so that’s one big relief. Hopefully he’ll be kind and leave my bulbous gut out of any potential cartooning.

Join me for beer, laughs and Game 4 of the Battle of California!

So much to say, but I’ll start with the biggest news. More big news coming soon:

I’m going back to Cali. OK, so maybe that dated reference is only semi-true (went there when I was ten-ish) but I just couldn’t resist joining in the Battle of California festivities. That’s right, I’m going to leave the comfy womb of Dallas for the greatness that is the state of California.

But it gets better: I need a play date. That’s right, there’s an extra ticket to the (twice) in a lifetime experience of seeing two California teams battle it out in the NHL playoffs and the once in a lifetime chance to watch a hockey game alongside my bad punning self. The tickets are in Section 442 row P. Here’s what you need to qualify:

$50

A promise that you’re not a serial killer. Or if you are, that you won’t kill me.

If you can meet this terms and you’d like to join me, send me an e-mail and we can coordinate our plans. My e-mail address is jamestobrien@hotmail.com.

It will be first come first serve, or at least “first pay first serve.” Plllllleaaaaase join me. I’ll buy you a beer!
