3-day weekend!

Three very exciting things happened to me last weekend --

I spent the weekend with my little bro hanging out at the
EMP and playing music. On Monday and Tuesday Pink and I ventured into the Olympic National Forest, and on Wed morning I (showered) and arrived back at work to my first (and hopefully only) MSDN subscription.

How can this weekend top that?

OH Yea ... Maybe with something like this --

** The Oxygen Collective is a very special organization that “practices creative resistance through projects that address injustice in our communities and destruction in the natural world.” Consequently, I’ve also had the pleasure of sharing camp with them at
Burning Man. They are a passionate, inspiring, caring bunch. It’s a special night at Contour tonight. YOU should GO. I am.
