Doughty & Scrap at the Town Ballroom
The Question Jar Show Tour
Zach and I went to the Town Ballroom in Buffalo’s downtown theater district to see the duo of Mike Doughty and Andrew “Scrap” Livingston last night. Between songs they answered questions from audience members that were placed into the question jar. Our questions drew pleasurable responses from Mike, Scrap and the crowd.
Scrap answers my question: "Is Matt Damon a better actor with or without glasses? Please provide examples. Thanks." Scrap's enthusiastic response: "The Good Shepherd. Great movie. Great glasses."
Santa Likes Volleyball
Apparently Santa enjoys high school volleyball. I spotted him at Daemen College for the Section VI Class AA girls’ volleyball championship between Orchard Park and North Tonawanda.

Professional Fist
Two nights ago marked my first experience fist-bumping in a professional setting. As I went in for a handshake, I was met with a clenched fist. I understand and respect that people are being more cautious of the germs that are floating around with the H1N1 threat, but it was a very odd situation. The act definitely took away from the traditional professionalism and courtesy that exists when two people shake hands. I have not grown accustomed to what could become our new way of greeting. As a result, I stumbled over my words and felt awkward for the brief amount of time I spoke with this person. It was uncomfortable, but I suppose that is common with change.
