J.D. is on vacation. This is a guest post from Mandy Hering. How can people afford fun these days? I ask this question because my husband and I recently attended a Coldplay concert. We bought the tickets for my birthday back in June, and paid for them with some extra money that I made working as a grader for an AP exam. We didn’t need to use the extra money for an emergency fund, to pay off debt, or to finance any type of big purchase as we are already squared away on those fronts.

2008 seemed to fly by a lot quicker than I would have liked, especially the summer (where my return to skateboarding after a 20 year hiatus sadly got cut in half due to a back injury). I think the first half of the year was slow for me in regards to shooting shows but things started picking up in the fall (or what is better known as winter part one here in Chicago as it seems we no longer have a fall). I got to see some pretty cool shows this year, including getting to see some old punk bands Top Musical Moments of 2008 :: Part Two (Guest List)
Top Five Backstage Moments of 2008 by Jonathan Meiburg of Shearwater #1) When our US tour with Clinic passed though our hometown of Austin, we wanted to do something nice for the Liverpudlians, maybe show them around a little bit, if there was time (which, on tour, there almost never is). But after sound check, I was a little surprised when they all lit up at the prospect of riding in the back of my little Mazda pickup.

Now that we are celebrated Jesus’ birth from Christmas to Epiphany, it seems appropriate to share a few anecdotes from people who have met Him in spirit.

You can tell from her stories, that she has fun and loving friendship with Jesus, rather than experienced a one-off encounter with him. 1.

I found this comment from BB-Idaho on a post on The Griper’s blog. Eartha Kitt, whose voice and appearance never seemed to age, insulted Mrs Lyndon Johnson about her husband’s conduct of the VN war. In her case, that was also a protected right, but she was effectively ‘blacklisted’ by the entertainment media of the time and had to work in Europe for many years.

Oh, my God! I don’t think I’ve ever wasted 190 zlots per ticket on anything quite this bad. If we’d paid 30 zlots a ticket and the concert had been in some dingy back-street venue, I might be able to connect the dots but at that price and in the Sala Kongresowa it just doesn’t make any sense at all.
