The Robert Rich concert last night was fantastic. <\/p>\n

The plan was to head down with Bob, who showed up at our house around 5:30 so we could eat dinner. Unfortunately he got a call from work about 5 minutes before we were leaving and had to go in to work and couldn’t come to the concert with us *pouts*<\/p>\n

\"Robert<\/a>We arrived in Philly around 7:20, found a parking space reasonably close to St. Mary’s<\/a>, where the concert was being held. We got great seats right up front, the show started shortly after 8PM. Michael wrote about it here<\/a> you should read it, he has lots of pictures and some video clips of the show taken with our digital camera.<\/p>\n

The show lasted until after 11, but the time flew by, Robert Rich is great in concert, and I’d say was one of the best Gatherings<\/a> concerts I’ve been to, certainly one of the most well-attended. We were able to pick up a couple of his more recent albums, Bestiary<\/a> and Electric Ladder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Today I met Nita at the King of Prussia Mall<\/a> so I could do some clothes shopping. It was great to get together with her, I haven’t seen her at all since the last PLUG<\/a> meeting we went to. I don’t much like clothes shopping (read: HATE HATE HATE), but it wasn’t such a bad experience going with her, I’ll have to make a habit of dragging her along on shopping trips. We got to talk a lot, which was great since I haven’t been very social lately. She helped me pick out some nice business casual shirts that I could wear to work, I swung by a music store and grabbed the March of the Penguins Score<\/i>, which I’ve wanted for months. We also checked out a Sam Goody that was going out of business, everything was 90-95% off so I picked up the Doom<\/i> movie score, figured if Clint Mansell<\/a> let me down on this one it was OK, since I only paid $1.79 for it. We had lunch at TGI Fridays<\/a>, talked about getting together for movie night sometime in the near future – of course she’s busy next weekend and I’m booked the weekend after that, d’oh! I headed home around 2.<\/p>\n

An amusingly side note, she went to the Trenton Computer Festival<\/a> yesterday, a festival that I just learned about Friday night when a friend I know from the irc-security list<\/a> and subsequent channel on NightStar<\/a>. While she was there she met some of the Princeton, NJ LUG people, and when she told them she was from the Philly LUG they asked if she knew me – I’M GEEK FAMOUS! Oh geez. Apparently it was the Debian mplayer How-To again. It’d be amusing to know someday how many people have used it over the years, several thousand certainly since I keep running into them. I’ll have to go to this TCF next year, I have discovered that several Philly people I know attend, and so I’d probably be able to hitch a ride with someone<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Tonight we’re headed over to Michael’s brother’s house for dinner, I should go get ready<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
