Looking Beyond the Pale ...

Last night Allison and I went to see Jim Gaffigan on his Beyond the Pale Comedy Central tour. Last night he stopped in Providence and played to a packed crowd at PPAC. That is the Providence Performing Arts Center. He had an opening act but we got there late so only caught 2 minutes of this guys act while we were trying to find our seats. I heard about this show because the Jim Gaffigan myspace profile left me a comment on my myspace profile letting me know he was coming to our area, Providence. I then told Allison about it and we invited our friends Neil and Andrea to come along because they are also Jim Gaffigan fans.

The PPAC is a beautiful theater but the seats are so close together and cramped that by the end of the night my knee had locked into place and has only started to feel normal right about now. The show was very popular because we were in the second to last row of the upper balcony. The acoustics were fine because we could hear everything except when Jim did his whispering.

I could also hear the guy behind me that get going “Yeeeaaaah!” to every other thing Jim said.

Jim: I’m lazy.
Guy: Yeeaah!
Jim: Hot Pockets.
Guy: Yeaah, hot pockets.

I found this guy mildly irritating. Oh well, we had a great time and luckily didn’t miss any of Jim’s set. We ended up getting off at the wrong exit and driving around in traffic and then finally getting tot he parking garage. This will be much easier next time we have to go there for any events. And getting out and coming home was a breeze. I like going to Providence way more than to Boston.

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.
