I hope I'm in the right thread.
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).
Go to [link] and either login or register, fill out the info, and sit back and wait for the tickets to arrive.
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.
I've been on Gmail less than two weeks. 50 invitations. Like Betsy, will gladly share. (profile addy good.)
Presumably this is a google viral marketing strategy -make every gmail customer an unpaid salesperson.
Thessaly's new open stage/charity concert series, Where Your Mouth Is, has a new mailing list. Sign up for it here.
That's right. I've got a big huge TV now, so what better way to break it in than to have people over to watch The Academy Awards.
So, Sunday Feb 27th here at my place we'll be watching the show. If you want to watch in silence, I'd say this is not the place to come. I can pretty much guarantee there will be snarking and fashion commentary involved. We may even start an Oscar drinking game. Show starts around 5, so folks can start arriving around 3 or 4 to watch the red carpet. There will be some munchies and beverages.
My place in Burbank. If you need directions just ask.
Hunter S. Thompson, perhaps one of the most provocative voices in American history, committed suicide yesterday.
This is why I firmly believe that I have the best friends ever--for the second year running, my friend Liza has solicited submissions from my musically-inclined Boston goth/rivethead scene friends (and in one instance, a friend's father), assembled a compilation album, produced the album at home herself, and is donating 80% of the proceeds from its sale to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
I've been looking for a long time for a site that recced and reviewed just Spuffy fanfiction - that being my sole fannish interest and, with limited time online, not wanting to wade through tons of other stuff. I can't seem to find what I want so I've decided to give it a try myself. I've started a live journal where I'll be developing what I hope will be a fairly definitive list of good Spuffy fanfic (and some not so good). If anyone is interested, please wander over to:
