This t-shirt is available on Wilco’s current tour (Summer 2007) (unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be able to catch any shows)…

Anyone going to see Wilco on this tour, could you PLEASE pick up this t-shirt for me? :)

The reporter originally found some posts that Kris made on his site and then he gave her my contact info.

With all of that said, the article was finally released/published and has a couple of quotes by yours truly. I am kind of bummed since they were supposed to run a picture or two that I had taken during our little party. It’s not that I really am bummed that the picture(s) weren’t included, I was just looking forward to having Rick publically humiliated.

Oh well, I’ll take things into my own hands with this post! :)

You can check out the article over at the Reuters website…

Liz and I had a great time and are hoping that this becomes a sort of regular “thing”.

Besides having so much fun, I can’t help but gloat that I won the trophy for Wii Bowling with my scores of 203 and 205 (even after an attempt to throw off my game by being “forced” to do a tequila shot from Betsy)… :)

I don’t think I ever won a trophy before.

Why do I think Rick had some say in this? :)

It’s not that I didn’t already love this video game console (sorry, all), but last night pushed it to the next level. Wii Boxing amongst friends may be the greatest thing ever…

And as everyone can attest, Mr. Smith figured something out and cannot be beat.

Evidence of a great time can be found here (and I have video that I need to figure out what to do with). We have to do this more often… :)
