I guess this is the place where I whine about how I never have time to post to my blog, so here is the obligatory statement: I haven’t posted in a long time. It’s because I’m busy, but happy. Ok, now that we took care of that business, lets try to catch up on a few things.

I am highly disappointed that I never got to post about the excellent experience I had going to Chicago to see [BT](http://www.btmusic.com) do a laptop symphony. To make up for it, here is a great picture:

To all of you who didn’t get to go, you seriously missed out on one of the best shows I’ve seen. You should check out the [party pictures](http://baudburn.com/gallery/BTAtVision) in my [gallery](http://baudburn.com/gallery/), particularly [the best picture I took at the club.](http://baudburn.com/gallery/BTAtVision/BT_at_Club_Vision_22). The show was only tied by the amazing show that [Sasha](http://baudburn.com/gallery/sasha2004) put on in Atlanta some time ago. The weekend was the perfect antiodote to the going-back-to-long-distance-relationship blues. As you may have assertainted from [this post](http://www.baudburn.com/mt-admin/mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=104), I sadly took Barbara back to San Antonio after a blissful 8 weeks of oh-so-rare togetherness.

Sometime last week, Lea invited me to go to [artrageous](http://www.artrageous.org/) with the cares crew. How could I turn down an invitation to party with some of the coolest people in Nashville? Answer: I can’t. Of course at the time I had no idea what its all about, but I went along with it anyway.

Fast forward to the night of the event. Lea and Steven come to pick me up and we head on our way to the auditorium. Lea hands me my ticket, which is a bright yellow arm band with a “W” printed on it.. (WHY?! WHY!!!). We hop into a limo that the cares crew had rented. What was that? A limo? Yeah, A limo. The thing is, artrageous is a big party where you drive from gallery to gallery, eat good food and drink. So instead of dealing with riding around in separate cars (and dealing with DD’s) we got Bob, our limo driver for the evening to cart us around. I quickly discovered that I need to go check out the art galleries in town when they are less crowded. There is some really cool galleries that I didn’t even know existed here.

At 9, the galleries close, so we ended up back at the auditorium for a big dance party. As [dan](http://bastardface.blogspot.com/) said, “You know these artsy types, they craaaaazy!”. The music was just ok, but it didn’t matter everyone was having a good time. At some point, Dan and I busted into the obligatory game of capoeira, but I had a few to drink (free drinks! how can you pass that up?) so I’m pretty sure my game wasn’t so good.

Sunday, we stumbled onto a big sand pit (aka volleyball court) and worked on doing back flips. I still cannot do them, but we did learn how to do barrel roll style flips using the other person as support. More pictures of this soon.

Then I worked all Sunday night on this damn test for my semiconductor physics class. It’s hard… alot…
