Comments on: You’re Soaking in It (Pic of the Week) http://blog.markwill.com/2007/10/12/youre-soaking-in-it-pic-of-the-week In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. - Robert Frost Mon, 22 Mar 2010 03:33:45 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 hourly 1 By: Moksha Gren http://blog.markwill.com/2007/10/12/youre-soaking-in-it-pic-of-the-week/comment-page-1#comment-10412 Moksha Gren Mon, 15 Oct 2007 04:22:54 +0000 http://blog.markwill.com/2007/10/12/youre-soaking-in-it-pic-of-the-week/#comment-10412 No worries, mate. I wouldn't expect Charles to drive extra mileage just to meet one of his brother's Internet pen pals. But that won't stop me from flinging guilt in your general direction just for the fun of it. Besides, had I a choice between the ampitheater in St. Louis vs. KC...I'd take the ampitheater formerly known as Sandstone anyday over the one formerly known as Riverport. (These days they're both called Verizon Ampitheater. I actually know a guy who went online to buy a ticket for a show in StL and accidently bought one for the show in KC since the places are named the same. Friggin' stupid system if you ask me.)

But, seriously, my brother (with whom this concert has become a tradition, at four and counting) will be on a business trip that already knocks out about the first 3.5 hours for him (and takes him farther from St. Louis), so KC made much more sense from his perspective. Don't think I didn't consider SL, though. I didn't want to let this cat out of the bag yet because our tickets aren't yet secured, but sometimes our wives get the jump on us (more often than they actually jump on us). Alvis is on tap to make the trip with me. Moksha – Umm… oops?

I'm always up for a good Halloween party...even if it is way too hot. But why VanHalen in KC? They're playing St. Louis, too. I mean...if you're up for the 8 and a half to KC...what's another hour and a half? Oh, I won’t deny my jealousy. I’m always up for a good Halloween party…even if it is way too hot.

(Mark to Van Halen in KC and me to Maroon 5 here in DFW.) Hopefully we can create some spookiness when it's still in the mid-80's outside! You're just jealous b/c you can't come! ;-) Moksha – The reason we are having the party so early in Oct. is b/c we thought we were going to be gone next weekend, and the weekend after that, we both have concerts to go to.

With 12 planning to attend, we better not have to endure the same -- lest there be a reckoning! (see, since the party's so early in October, we'll have plenty of time to plot our revenge for actual Hallow's Eve, when suspicious behavior isn't so suspicious) Josh - I wondered if anybody would notice that guy. The one next to the closest guy wearing camo? Yeah, he's not calling the Hogs. He looks too mean. Lenny - I haven't had much success either, until I got that photo pass. I got one for the Tennessee game that year, too, and I probably will post them at some point since I found them along with the Auburn negatives. Good call on the J. Geils Band video comparison.

I've never had much success with sports, though I have tried over the years. The band shot reminds me of the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wx6t11D99tA" rel="nofollow">Centerfold</a> video by J. Geils Band where the drummer hits a drum that doesn't have a skin, but is instead full of milk. I really enjoyed these photos.

He doesn't look very impressed. Why is no one concerned about the guy one row back from the black father and a couple seats to his right? He doesn’t look very impressed.

Moving water always gets me. Hurray for Halloween Parties!! I look forward to the pictures. We opted not to have a party this year. Turnout last year was a bit underwhelming and with work being a bit crazy right now...we just didn't have it in us to put in the time and money to make it happen this year. Some friends of ours will be filling in the gap with a small get-together. But they're waiting a couple more weeks so that the October spook factor is a bit better.

Anybody who's spent any time in northwest Arkansas and especially at UA football and basketball games knows exactly the disparity in race representation that I allude to here. In reality, everybody gets along fine, as far as I know. Don't worry -- Arkansas has come a very long way since that infamous incident at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Rock_Central_High_School" rel="nofollow">Central High</a>. Not as far as one might hope, but progress is being made. Simon - I was partial to the band pictures in general. Kind of geeky, I guess, but there it is.
