Back from Detroit. Thankfully the trip was much nicer than last time. And I was even sober for the whole thing. :) I'm sure Matthew's review of Comerica Park will be up soon and far more comprehensive than anything I could hope to write. That's about all we saw of Detroit, which is just as well really, so there's nothing for me to add. I will say, however, that I much prefer Amtrak to driving. Who knew there was such a great way to travel?

Off to Detroit for approximately 17 hours. So the blog will be quiet. Er, the blog will be quieter. Why are you checking this anyway?

I have nothing to say. Except that work at a university should be easier over the summer, not harder. (But shortened hours rule!)

Come to Gay Idol tomorrow! The semifinals last week were unbelievably fun, and the finals should be even better. And Josh is actually very good and needs your support. He's singing third, and voting is done by number, so if you come, try to wear a t-shirt with number 3 on it somewhere. :) And call me if you're coming and don't want to show up alone.

Ok, troops... you're being rallied. Go Josh! :)

Saturday, June 18--Final Competition - for Gay Idol at Circuit Nightclub, 3641 N. Halsted. 7PM $5 cover. Host: Amy Matheny w/ Special guest judges. Final contestants compete for top honors as "Windy City's Gay Idol." Audience members can vote & have chances to win mountain bike, guitar & theatre tix.

My cell phone just rang. I didn't recognize the number, but I knew the area code was a Cleveland number. Turns out my 75-year-old grandmother has a cell phone. And doesn't know how to use it apparently, since she meant to call my Aunt Kathy and was shocked that she'd mysteriously reached me. Please explain to me why my technologically-illiterate grandmother has a cell phone and my 27-year-old gadget-obsessed boyfriend doesn't.

I'm still here. But this being the busy end of the quarter, I'm actually doing (gasp) work at work. Blogging may commence in the lonely summer months. Or not.
