Spring 2010

It’s on its way. I felt it today and I can’t wait. I love Spring. One of the reasons I love Spartanburg so much. Spartanburg is a great place to be in the Spring. We stay busy, busy, busy. I love busy. People feel good. Revived. Ready for a fresh start. Excited. We’re no different. [...]

There’s nothing more to say

Except that BOOM, I found the motherfucking treasure. It was in my pants’ pocket the whole time.  See, I was scouring the town’s potties and urinals for what the mystic said was the grand treasure.  I guess some of you might be wondering what this so-called treasure was supposed to be?  It wasn’t gold or [...]

Procrasterbating

Shut up.  Just a quick blog for today, big one tomorrow.  Yes, I finally posted the new Fantastic Benefits update, right here.  But because you’ve been so patient, I’ll post it here too:

To avoid any confusion, I rearranged and tweaked the first page.  So now, remember, the official update time is Monday, but I’ll be [...]

Quick – get in on next week’s Pub Crawl!

Most of you probably already know this by now, but next Thursday (3/11), RJ Rockers and the Taproom have planned [...]

Hub City Co-Op Fund raiser postponed

I’ve been in touch with a couple folks at the HUb City Co-Op about volunteering and I received an email yesterday about some big changes, namely that the original founder of the co-op has stepped down, and the fund raiser, originally scheduled for March 27th at the Duncan Estate, has now been postponed until further [...]

It’s All Gone To Shit

Well…I’m back.  I have to say, it’s very possible I never left.  See, Sunday when I posted I found myself in somebody’s backyard with a killer headache, and also a cat.  Yes.  A cat.  Now, the cat’s not very important to the story, but it was awfully cute.  And it’s lying next to me right [...]
