Parker is a Copywriter

Parker created this poster yesterday, and I noticed he had written a "headline" for it.

"Cars aren't just machines. They're your life."
Perhaps he's also looking into a career as a copywriter?

Tea Party

On Tax Day, tens of thousands of Americans gathered in various cities across the nation to protest the government's wasteful spending-- specifically, this so-called "stimulus" bill that our elected representatives failed to read. Many others also spoke out against the government's seemingly unstoppable appetite for power under the guise of fixing our nation's problems.

Richmond's Tea Party was downtown, where the rain turned Kanawa Plaza into a mud pie.
It didn't stop 4,000 people from standing shoulder to shoulder though.

It was a great event, and very touching to see so many people getting off their couch and fighting the traffic downtown to play an active role in their political lives. There were men, women, and children from varying socio-economic backgrounds and political creeds present. It's a shame the media made light of this event, and that so many others weren't aware of it. But those who are up for re-election next year were paying attention, I'm sure....

Piano Performance

So I've been dying to perform musically lately and I have absolutely no outlet for it. Under the guise of letting all of you hear what my new/very old piano sounds like, here are a few clips. The first one is just some improvised arpeggios, and the next is from "Fantasy in D minor" by Mozart.

Andy's Bachelor Party - Vegas '09

I took a trip to Vegas the first weekend in April for Andy's bachelor party. We played it pretty mellow and did a lot of tourist stuff. I did get to spend some time playing blackjack, roulette, and poker. Andy and I took first and second place (I so let him win) in a poker tournament which put $200 back in my pocket. :) It was great to get back to Vegas again. Yay for vacations!!
