Fryday

The weather today in the nation's capitol is cold/rainy and my head is killing as the hangover from tap beer sucks.

I just spent 430 dollars on 8 concert tickets to 2 April DC Widespread Panic shows at the Warner Theater and $85.50 of it went to Ticketbastard because their service is SO essential to the concert experience.

It now costs $10.05 "convenience" charge per ticket and $5.10 per order for a processing fee. I am sure the extra change(.15 cents total) was added to offset higher milk, bread and gas prices. Damn Inflation and Gordon Gecko.

Good times at the Will Leitch Book Event. He was very funny and witty. I initially stalked him paparazzi style with my camera, mumbled like an awestruck fan when introducing myself and then later shot the breeze with him while having some drinks at a bar in Gtown.

It is very refreshing to see Will's success has not swelled up his head and he takes time to listen to dudes like myself blab about their lame stories/blogs. Maybe it is the midwestern boy in him.

Also, I met some other "bloggers," who were actually cool and even one attractive female. Yes, there were girls there, well like 2 but still more than I expected.

I well have more later about the event with pictures, it is time for some Advil.

Here is a reward for those reading about my bitching and this video had me visioning my new golf SWING this summer.

Where the White Bloggers At?

This evening I am headed down to the Georgetown Barnes and Noble for Will Leitch's , the Deadspin Zen master, DC book reading. I am undecided if I am going to unveil Mac G's Deep Throat identity to the fellow pasty white sports blogger dorks in attendance. If it gets me a free drink at the after "party", done and done.

Will had a live Washington Post chat today and even though he left out MGW, it is still pretty funny. I plan on supporting his nicotine and java habit by purchasing his book, "God Save the Fan." My only request is for Will's Illini loving ass to inscribe to my Iowa Hawkeye Ass this:

"To Mac G: Bruce Pearl is my hero and I offered Deon Thomas that lemon. Champaign is Iowa City's bitch. Will."

PS. I will be the white guy, attempting to grow the Sergio McClain beard just to make Will feel back in midwest. word, Mac G.
