Late last night Sampson passed on.
RIP old friend
1995? - 2009

So I've been enjoying the options for Stanley Cup backgrounds, but none of them *quite* worked for me...so here are a few more options.

I know there are many scribes and calligraphers who say that "bristol vellum" is perfectly acceptable for SCA use, and as someone who occasionally practices those arts, I can attest to it's utility--it does take ink, watercolor, gouache and leafing very well. But I will, once again, don my flame-proof doublet and expound upon the evils of this foul substrate, and it's misguided use in our craft...

Fru-fru enough to serve in a fancy restaurant!

It occurs to me that many of my friends play WoW, and some of them I don't see online terribly often - so...

So, it's come to my attention that some Habs geeks have written a script that autovotes for Habs/Wings players.

Being a Sharks/'Canes geek I've re-edited it to vote for them (and a few other choice members of the All-Star process (Zetterberg, Tim Thomas, Danny Heatley)

YAY!!!

Spartacus Restaurant

www.spartacusrestaurant.com

They have flaming cheese (which we didn't have, but looked awesome)
Hummus & Pita, yummy, though better if served warmed (the hummus, the pita was warm)
Calamari, yummy, served with red sauce though they provided tzadsiki upon request
Gyro Pizzeta, yummy, hot pita+red sauce+gyro meat+melted cheese mmmmmm
Gyro, yummy, nice bit to the tzadsiki

Nice open layout, pretty decorations. The restaurant has been there for 15 years but still has that shiny new feel to it. The little old Greek grandmother hostess with the heavy NC accent is really the topper :-)

When ya'all come vist, we'll take you there.

19 weeks... Really? 19 Weeks? What have I been doing? Oh right, getting unemployed, looking for work, driving to Montana to apply to the Border Patrol, deciding to move to North Carolina, going to a family reunion, packing for North Carolina, and now actually driving to North Carolina. Once we get to the new place and get an internet connection there will be lots of pictures, and a few details added...but that's what I've been doing :-)

Yay!

So here is the plan:

For every round the San Jose Sharks advance in the 2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs I'm going to change more and more of my hair into Shark's colours.
