to break from what we're tied to

Once again, I haven't been very active lately. I'm busy, and when I do have time I feel like I don't have much to say. About all I use this for anymore is to share some pictures. I'll be doing this year's Davie Awards at the end of the month, and then after that I'll have to reevaluate the purpose of this blog. The format may change, or it may disappear entirely. Time will tell.

Meanwhile, Penny-Arcade has started its annual Child's Play charity. Cincinnati's own Children's Hospital is on there this year. You should check it out and buy a present for some sick kids.

just slowly fade away

A handful of us headed up to Columbus a couple weeks ago to see Nine Inch Nails play at the Schottenstein center. Unfortunately on the way we hit a snow storm which slowed us down and caused us to miss Boris, the opening band, which was disappointing. But NIN played another fantastic show. We were a lot further back on the floor for a change which allowed us to take in a lot more of the visuals without everyone bumping into us. The new visuals for Closer and Ghosts 31 were highlights, as was Trent chucking a microphone stand through the screen during Echoplex. My only gripe was the lack of variation in the set list from the Cleveland and Lexington shows, although we did get a great version of The Good Soldier. All in all it was another awesome concert. Thanks to Jake for editing the pictures for me.
