I’m not a huge concert fan. I’d rather sit down and enjoy it so some venues are cool, others I’m just exhausted by the time a show is over (I still tease Jen about the abuse our bodies and ears took at the Pharcyde concert a few years back).
According to their email list Guster has an East Lansing show scheduled for September 30th. Speaking as someone who is both on said list and has watched for a loooong time as the closest show was at Interlochen, this is a rare occasion.
*Insert old timey suspense music* “Will Jay brave crowds of drunk MSU students to see Guster perform?”
I guess we’ll see… I’m thinking about it.
So far tickets are TBA for both time, exact location, and price.
UPDATE: Tickets are $25 and go on sale on 9/7/07. Show will be held at the MSU Auditorium.
Most people online don’t know this unless they’re a support tech. When you send an email your SMTP server actually has a little conversation with the recipient’s mail server. They issue commands back and forth, acknowledge the commands, and process the mail.
Today while looking at a server’s email queue run logs I noticed the following choice bit of server admin humor:
SMTP<< 220 xxxx.xxx.xxx.xxxxx.xx ESMTP spamd IP-based SPAM blocker; Sat Aug 18 08:14:39 2007
SMTP>> EHLO xxxx.xxxxxx.xxx
SMTP<< 250 Hello, spam sender. Pleased to be wasting your time.
SMTP>> MAIL FROM xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxxxxxx.xxx
SMTP<< 250 You are about to try to deliver spam. Your time will be spent, for nothing.
SMTP>> RCPT TO: xxxxx.xxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xx
SMTP<< 250 This is hurting you more than it is hurting me.
SMTP>> DATA
The best part is the server that was receiving the mail (issuing the “hello spammer” responses) intentionally slowed each of its responses down to keep the other server busy. This type of setup actually costs spammers money as a transaction that normally takes under a second is now taking over 3 minutes.
Highlights of the Wingle include…”Bold design of chrome plated grill, infiltrating with the desire to conquer all from inside to outside” and “Inner decoration equipped with streamline incorporate central console, its innovative outline and comfortable tactility unified with vehicle style, clear legible high brightness dashboard, fashionable, honorable, and comfortable.”
Whitney came to Michigan to stay with us for almost a week shortly after Aidan was born (which was unbelievably awesome). While she was here she painted three pieces to hang in his room. We put one above his changing table, and ever since if he isn’t looking at us his eyes are locked on that painting.
