mookieghana	9:01a	Can I get $330MM if someone protests my blog? "Officials with the Minneapolis-St. Paul Host Committee calculates it would cost about $330 million to pay for the kind of publicity the region has received ..." - Minnesota Public Radio this morning I somehow seriously doubt that the images & stories broadcast from this event were worth event a fraction of that amount. Unless blogging from a place called, "Minneapolis-Saint Paul-Twin Cities", will somehow pay the bills in magic sponsership. Yesterday, Alissa had a bit of a harrowing trip home from work when a group of protesters decided it would be safe to disrupt traffic and nearly caused several buses to slam into her. Yes, it makes total sense to endanger the lives of State employees because you don't want to follow the permit rules. I will be home with puppy this weekend while Alissa starts her new semester of school in Duluth. Hopefully, with the convention over, I will be able to visit the Magic shop on 7th Street again. On Wednesday, my whole Stevie Ray's improv team (Jason, Maureen, Cristi, Tim, Peter R., Peter B) went to Acme to support to our fellow-team member ZACH (who was performing!) at the Acme Comedy Company in Minneapolis. Alissa & I came along and had a wonderful time! The headliner was the fantastically talented DEREK HUGHES from Minnesota/CELEBRACADABRA. It was a really fun show - one of the best top-to-bottom Stand-Up shows I've ever seen. Other things: My parents are visiting next month. My friend Mark from Hope will be visiting at the end of this month. I am currently teaching a great improv class (16+ people) on Tuesdays. I bought a new Bill Hicks book earlier this week which I look forward to reading as it's lots of transcripts of shows along with interviews he gave. Soon, I'll be releasing the BEST OF THE 80S: MIDSOUTH results which have been perkulating under my excel sheets for more than a month. ALL IS ROCKING GOOD~! (Comment on this)
johnathanwny	9:52a	Lack of civil liberties? We always seem to bitch about how the government is slowly taking away our civil liberties, but what about private businesses taking away simple freedoms that used to be commonplace? Burger King now has a sign in their windows that states "Videotaping is not allowed". The NYS Thruway reststops installed signs that tell us we can't leave our vehicle parked there for more than 4 hours or it will be towed. Of course they're private businesses and are legally allowed to make these demands, but does that make it right? (Comment on this)

theczar	9:42a	Been a long time. It's been a long time since I posted here.  I started to delete the account but thought---do I really want to do that? So I've kept it on the backburner for months. Seems like years.  You know me, all geeked up on The Myspace and The Facebook. I guess it's only fitting that they replace Livejournal, as Livejournal replaced the Easyjournal. Oh, Easyjournal, how you're missed.  There really isn't much to report, I'm afriad. My life has been incredibly dull as of late, as both me and my Girl Friday have been broke as a joke. And while money can't always buy happiness, having no money can make you miserable.  I'm waist deep in the P90X program, today is day 50-something out of 90. I've been tracking my progress elsewhere but long story short, my weight is down to at least 208 (my official weigh-ins are on Saturday), and I've been having noticeable improvements everywhere on my body.  Just wanted to pop in and say hey, Livejournal.  Hey.
