They sounded good, but the audio setup was bad.  Does that make sense?  It does to me.  Above is Jermaine on the big screen.  I didn't get a shot of the full stage because my cameraphone sucks, and it would have been hard to tell it was the band.  Maybe I just fail at life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joecwik/3467667160/" title="0419091956 by joecwik, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3634/3467667160_695a358ed7.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="0419091956" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That one's Kristen Schaal, who plays "Mel" on the TV show.

Can you believe it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This time, it's for the illustrious Carrie!  It's hard to believe that we'd met in seventh grade, and then lost touch after high school for so many years.  Once we reunited, it's been like we hadn't lost a moment, and that says a lot for connections like that.  It's amazing to see how she's grown and changed over the years, and deep down, is still the same person I hung out with way back when, but with so many new facets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It also helps to know that she isn't exactly holding a grudge for smashing her hand in a car door senior year of high school... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A big happy birthday to Carrie -- may all your wishes and dreams come true, and here's to many more years to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And since it's St. Patrick's Day...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nda_OSWeyn8&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8625131-8188864296037235409?l=www.joecwik.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8625131&amp;postID=8188864296037235409" title="1 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8625131/posts/default/8188864296037235409" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8625131/posts/default/8188864296037235409" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.joecwik.com/2009/03/happy-birthday-carrie.html" title="Happy Birthday Carrie!" /><author><name>Joe C</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09125138435014196769</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" name="OpenSocialUserId" value="14241306941961273017" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8625131.post-4578576904111491226</id><published>2009-03-16T09:00:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-16T12:15:26.435-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="marvin's marvelous mechanical museum" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="marvin" /><title type="text">Marvin and his Marvelous Mechanical Museum</title><content type="html">&lt;center&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joecwik/3359030649/" title="0315091329b by joecwik, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3459/3359030649_c27f91c5c5.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="0315091329b" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's right, kids.  This place is freakin' awesome.  You better take a ton of quarters so you can check everything out, but damn.  Such a cool place.  I didn't want to leave due to sheer awesomeness, but I felt I should so that there'd be more for the next time I went there.  Pinball, DDR, old signs and posters, and the best part -- old fortune telling machines and other mechanical displays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, we saw Violent J from ICP fame there, but I didn't realize it till Carrie mentioned it at home.  Had I known, I would have approached him, since she's a big fan.  Ah well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joecwik/sets/72157615300750485/"&gt;Check out the pics I took&lt;/a&gt;.
