Having a party? Organizing a local F2F? Know something that we all really need to know? Announce it! Want to discuss anything posted here? Take it to Natter. Any natter here will be deleted.
I'm making a change to the site database structure in preparation for implementing searching.
While the change is processing, the site may be slow, or posting just not take.
Hopefully not much, and not for long.
Until 11:59 pm EST tonight, Saturn (the car company) is donating 50 cents to The Marrow Foundation for each People First wristband requested. All money raised will be used to offset the costs of adding people to the National Marrow Donor Program registry.
There are no costs associated with participation, and all information you provide will not be used for marketing purposes. For more information and to request your wristband, follow this link: [link]
General FYI for Buffistas on Celexa:
A generic is now available! And it took my $100 / month (no health insurance) bill down to $25 a month.
An acquaintance of mine, Greg Smith, is going to be the subject of Independent Lens tonight on PBS in the film "On A Roll: Disability and The American Dream" Greg's great and I'm thrilled to see his work get national attention(and not just because he made me a radio star once) I think it's on at ten. I'd love to hear what my favorite AB's think.

For fellow disgruntled hockey-istas out there, Reebok Hockey has a promotion allowing you to receive a free pair of tickets to an AHL game of your choice (from a designated list).

I know, I know...it's been half of forever. Hey...*you* write witty and insightful commentary while getting four and a half hours of sleep and after travelling across the country and back with a ten-week old baby! Huh? I dare ya! I double *dog* dare ya!
Anyway...

Any Buffista who wants a Gmail invitation should let me know. I've got 50 of the damned things.
For people local to the Baltimore area, I just heard about a really neat project in Waverly that will take place for something like 10 days starting April 7.
It's the Our Playground at Stadium Place Project. Basically, it is a community playground building on part of the old Memorial Stadium site.
