Brushes with Fame, CDUB ...

So last month Allison and I went to see Christopher Williams at the Lyons Den. After the show we both e-mailed him. Here’s what transpired.

I wrote:
Hi Christopher,
Last night my fiance, Allison, and I, and her friend attended your show at the Lyon’s Den at Wheaton. We were the three folks on the couch who were certainly not college students. We had a great time and enjoyed your show. It was nice to see you back up this way since we haven’t seen you since an outdoor concert in Arlington or the a New years show with Ellis at Club Passim. Anyway we missed you not being up and around here to go see your shows. Allison has been playing the new CD all day today I can guarantee it. Thanks for signing it. Anyway we had a great time and wanted to thank you. We keep a blog and you’re invited to visit it. It is http://benspark.blogspot.com Thanks for the great night. Congratulations on recently getting married, too.

Christopher,
I just wanted to say that the show was great last night! It had been about two years since we had had the opportunity to see you, so last night was a great treat! I hope that you will continue to play some shows up in this area. And a big congratulations on touring with Jars Of Clay! What a great opportunity. If the show comes up this way my fiance and I will definitely try to make it. The new CD is amazing! I’ve been listening to it all day! Thanks again for a great show last night!

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo. 

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.
