Out of the Blue

[Apr 28, 2012, 1:00 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

MrsBlue and I kicked off our weekend anniversary celebration by going to see a Nick Lowe concert last night, and as usual he didn't disappoint, showing his 63 years have done little or nothing to his guitar playing, his voice, or his ability to connect with the audience. He'll always be a favorite of ours, and we can only hope we'll get to continue seeing his shows well into his 70s, which would likely have us outlive a good portion of our fellow audience members, as we were once again among the youngest people in attendance. :)

Those 70s Links:	Thanks Ant and Mike Martinez and Acleacius.
Play:	Dummy Crusher.
Links:	The World’s Nerdiest Bedrooms.
Stories:	Dentist Anna Mackowiak pulled out ALL boyfriend Marek Olszewski 's teeth after he dumped her.
Images:	You can’t handle the truth. Sorry Guys, We're Fresh Out of Broken.
Media:	Tiny Star Wars Arcade Machine of the Day. Nostalgia Overload of the Day. Robot Chicken: The Arkham Redemption.
The Funnies:	…the problem with Facebook. Kickstopper. Commander German Shepard.
Follow-up:	Space Shuttle Launch Audio - play LOUD (no music). Thanks Reddit.

After their payouts it'll be 1.8, still freakin amazing considering they were only asking for 400k. I'm even more stoked for this than Wasteland 2 I think. Gonna be a long painful wait anyway you slice it though.

Yeah, and then there's the pay it forward stuff, too. They apparently had it on the page, but KS asked them to take it down, according to the FAQ (not sure the reasoning there, but whatever).

And like you, as excited as I am about both, I think I'm more excited about Shadowrun.

I'm going to bed. Tomorrow is my lazy day where I actually get to spend more than 10 minutes playing GW!

Just wrapped up:
$1,836,447 and I believe they said in the last day or so that there's another 50K in paypal on top of that.

So hopefully close to 1.9 million.
