Thursday night, my wife discovered that Shirley Manson of Garbage was going to be performing three songs at the Songs of Patsy Cline event at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. The event was last night. She pulled up decent tickets on Ticketmaster, bought them and drove us down I-5 yesterday to attend.

Tonight, we went to Best Buy on Harrison Street for the Nintendo 3DS launch event. We heard about it from an ad on LIVE 105 and changed our plans from going to see Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs at The Rickshaw Stop to going to the Nintendo event pretty darned quickly. The lure of free swag like tee shirts and a chance to win a 3DS or games or Best Buy gift cards was too great to be defeated by an electronic music act we were really only going to see based on their name.
My wife put it best with a post on Facebook: “Tough conflict for Saturday: Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs vs. Nintendo 3DS launch event. I guess Mario beats out the reptiles once again.”

Lots of stuff has happened and I really just haven’t had the time or energy to write it all down.
For my birthday, we did a whole week of celebrating. I turned 33 on 1-11-11 which was a pretty cool numeric/binary birthday.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, ShellE Productions’ former WordPress-fueled page has disappeared. So at least temporarily, we’re residing here at a free WordPress.com site. I’ve restored as much of our old content as I could from Google caching. We’ve lost some of our pages but all of the posts plus more are back. Oh well, such things come with unexpected crashes.
We spent New Year’s Eve with Parry Gripp, Steve Sherlock, Ben Pringle and Linus from Hollywood.

Tonight I went to the Metreon and saw an early screening of Tron: Legacy. I had played the Flynn Lives ARG for around 9 months, getting a cool Encom employee badge, a Flynn Lives tee shirt, a Space Paranoids button, a couple of Arcade Aid buttons and earned 26 online badges in the game. The game with its series of immersive events and cool online puzzles and actual video games, was a lot of fun.

After an amazing time at Saturday’s Day One of Bridge School Benefit XXIV, which bled into early Sunday morning with the closing set from Buffalo Springfield and the Rockin’ in the Free World encore, I was surprisingly not overtired and very excited for day two.
