jackshoegazerGood evening everyone.
I am currently working on a flyer for the annual Labor Day weekend rave festival. This year they've booked twenty headliners and a over 200 djs which means a huge flyer - 11" by 17", double fold. It's pretty insane. With the huge amount of info - I'm going very minimal on the design which is quite unlike me actually. As usual they've given me two days to do it which means I get to charge more for the rush. Just once I wish they'd get their shit together a month in advance.
I've devoured the last Harry Potter book and am already reading it again. I usually do this - read it once at a breakneck pace to find out what happens and then read it immediately afterwards for a more detailed analysis and enjoyment. I can't really complain about The Deathly Hallows. Everything made sense and it felt whole and complete, regardless of what happens. I will really miss having these to look forward to.
Jacquelyn, Ethan, and I went to see the Order of the Phoenix movie (Jacqui's firs time, my second and Ethan's third) and I was thinking of how I never had a really defining childhood media event. No favorite movies or books, (though my father and uncle tell me that when I was three to four I loved Godzilla movies but I don't remember watching a single one) nothing that really gripped me until my teens and in a way I feel like Harry Potter as been a sort of second childhood for me - something I sorely missed out on the first time around.
I did really love The Peanut Butter Solution though.
It's been about five weeks since I started riding my bike to work. With my new lovely odometer (birthday compliments of the coolest kids in town -brdgt & strangedasein) I've discovered that my one-way trip is about six-and-a-half miles. That makes a lovely thirteen miles every day - bare minimum. A trip to the grocery store and back is about two-and-a-quarter miles and a leisurely ride with Jacquelyn around Monona Bay is about six miles. That means I may ride as much as twenty miles a day. This week, from Sunday to Thursday, I did 73 miles, about the distance from Madison to Milwaukee.
On a final note, I'd best get back to work on the flyer. That thing won't design itself and I can definitely use the moola. I should send Ethan to bed, but I'm too happy he's started to read The Half-Blood Prince that I don't want to make him stop.
Until next time...

I'm worried nothing will ever capture my attention the way these Potter books have. They are the only multiple-installment media event that has lived up to its potential and not disappointed me in the end.
