What's Your Edge

I went to see Trey Anastasio yesterday. I used to be a big Phish fan (Trey was lead singer) and I still enjoy the music when I listen to it. Trey always puts on a good concert and he definitely didn't dissapoint tihs time. I took off from work about 30 min early and took the express train downtown. We found a bar that didn't card us and drank there for awhile. We ended up doing a few rounds of shots and I was pretty drunk by the time we left the bar. We drank a ton at the concert and just got retarded.

Right now, I'm wishing I hadn't gotten so retarded. I haven't had to get up early after drinking a lot in a long time (mostly because I haven't been drinking at all during the week). I have to say that coffee really seems to help with hangovers. Also, I took a 30 min nap at 8am. I got to work on time, but opted to go inside 30 min late so that I could try to look like a normal person and not someone who looks like they are dying. I think the nap helped me achieve that.

The office is totally dead today and the guy that typically is the one to give me work is not here today. It should be a very relaxed Friday. Hopefully I can leave early too.

My Vegas trip is confirmed now. I am definitely going. For awhile there it looked like it wasn't going to work out. The problem was that I need to be in Atlanta for work on Monday July 31st. I was able to work it out with my company so that I could fly from Vegas to Atlanta and then back to Chicago at the end of the week. It worked out well because that meant that the company picked up half the price of my flight. When you book a flight this late, it is very expensive, so that was huge on their part. I will get out there about 6pm on Friday July 28th and fly out at about 4pm on Sunday. It's a very short stay, but it will give me the chance to meet a lot of people, which is great. It's pretty cool to finally put faces to people you've only known online.
