(Inspired by Chaely):

I had a seminar this morning that lasted until 11:00 a.m. that just happened to be with Favorite Co-Workers #1 and #2 (who are pretty much interchangeable). We raced out of the seminar into the car we drove and turned on some fancy talky radio just in time to hear all of Obama’s inauguration speech. Speeding down 394W in an effort to try to get back to the office in time to at least watch some of it, the three of us soaked it all in.

We got back to the parking lot and decided to wait it out in my co-worker’s Versa. It was either that or miss a good two minutes of it while we transitioned from the parking lot to our 5th floor office. There we sat, listening to phenomenal history, in a compact car running in the parking lot of downtown Minneapolis.

We got out when it was over and realized there were two ladies from another building standing out in the parking lot smoking, clearly thinking we were smoking something a little more potent in those 10 minutes we sat there. I watched parts of the parade during a mid-afternoon staff meeting, but I felt myself constantly tensing up, scared that a Crazy was going to pull some jackass move on such a monumental day.

look! i’m giving you something!

I’ve stolen this meme from My Canadian Friend, but it’s kind of an exciting one.

The first six (6) people to respond to this post will get something made by me. It will be about or tailored to those six who respond first.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

  • I make no guarantees that you will like what I make.
  • What I create will be just for you.
  • It’ll be done this year.
  • You have no clue what it’s going to be. It may be a mix CD. It may be a story. I may build something. I might bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that’s for sure!
  • I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? You have to put this in your journal as well, if you expect me to do something for you!

First six people, just leave an email address or something so I can get your address from you! I’m kind of excited to exercise the creative bone(s) I may or may not have had for quite some time.
