Happy birthday fellas! Cheers

I'd like to contribute so let me figure out how and you won't be short anymore. Nice job, everyone!

Nope, I can sue people without an iPad just fine.

I think you will have another good Grado CS experience. I have found them to be very reasonable and helpful in my dealings with them. Good luck Posty.

Orpheum next week, Nate. Dew eet!

You and me both.

There should be biscuit eating pictures in this thread by now. Dinny is letting us all down. I just remembered that I really like bread and butter pickle chips and want some bad after reading Telly's post. Making due with chocolate chip cookies the flight attendant just brought by.

I wished again that I could have bought one the other night but the damn flagship store in NYC didn't even have any. The case I bought last week is waiting for me in my office but I don't own the iPad to go in it yet.

That sucks, Mike. I hope he bounces back and stays healthy but you're a mensch for offering to help. Stephen, I am proud of you, man. I thought you might crack having a baby daughter and now you have a house too! You are really growing up. I wish you and your family many happy and healthy years in your home. I am finally flying back to Cali after a hell of a week in the Big Apple. I averaged about 4 hours of sleep a night between work and jet lag, and had a cough that interrupted what little sleep I was getting. Glad to be going home but know that my wife's ever-shrinking teaching job will be a focus of the evening. I feel so bad that she is getting caught in the screwed up California budget drama. As of today, she only has 2 classes for next Fall out of a normal load of 4-5. One of those is something she hasn't taught so it involves a whole new prep (lots of work). The drama and politics are sill shifting and unresolved so who knows. BTW, we are having a lot of heavy turbulence right now, so if Virgin American flt 25 goes down, JP, Mike or Gene need to tell Claire I was thinking about her...

Had a marathon deposition in NY from 9:30am to 8:00, but then met VPI, The Monkey and cetoole for dinner at Virgil's. Good times and I was only half am hour late. Now finishing off the mini bar.

I like the look of the thief bag. A lot. Details, Dinny, details.

Milt Jackson & John Coltrane -- Bags & Trane

Have a great one Chris! Cheers!

Extending another night is certainly a worthy endeavor. I am going to stay sunday night but I am leaving early on Monday. Somebody can get you to the train station.

Indeed!

Why can't you arrive Friday night and return Sunday night? Not as ideal, but come on, it's a once in a lifetime drinking/smoking/listening/drinking/baking and drinking opportunity! 48 hours is all we ask. And I have been working much and Head-Casing little, but thrice and NightWoundsTime both have to reassess as well. Disturbing trend here, people, disturbing trend.

Agreed. The sisters' vocals sound so much like Joanna Newsome it is a little scary. Interesting and fun and mysteriously appealing.

Not that I own and iPad, but I think I would use this more as a case than a bag. i.e. no strap. That said, it can't be that heavy so I don't think the strap would be uncomfortable. I made the snap decision to go with the canvas one. Maybe I should change to leather. Maybe I should buy an iPad first.

But which is better?

CocoRosie -- Grey Oceans

Same, and same. Me too. Quite liked it even though I was working and distracted much of the time. Note that I wasn't stalking Stretch [this time] but had checked these out today independently.

Happy birthday Ari. Cheers!

I don't think JP was hoping for 30 minutes of listening for the whole weekend, let alone one amp.
