Met with Cindy. Went to Mark B and Alan C's training session on itsa to Exchange migration. Did a little desktop setup and support with Charles, got his e-mail account working. Updated the mailing list to include him. Updated the staff page, sent it to Cindy for review. Updated graduation web pages. Announced that 2 new web pages went live yesterday: Maps and Locations, Virtual Tour. Picked up some plastic squeeze bottles and some vinyl bumpers at Cliff's. Chatted with Jesse and (Buddy?) at AAB. Met Galen at ADL. Dinner at Firewood with Galen (Peter joined us but didn't eat): half herb-roasted chicken with potatoes; salad with green apple slices, walnuts, blue cheese, creamy dressing. Harvey's with Peter and Galen: Nico, Nick, Chantale, Ronn, others. Megan and Milton waited on us. It was Megan's first day working at Harvey's. She had started at 4 PM. Peter, Galen, and I shared a slice of chocolate cake. Galen and I each had a kahlua and coffee, Peter had an iced tea. Sean Hetherington tipped me off to the event tonight—I found out afterward it's called Comics Gone Wild hosted by Pippi Lovetsocking (which I think is a typo and it probably should be Lovestocking), Ronn Vigh headlining. I didn't know Nico would be here tonight, but he was! Harvey's isn't the best venue for stand-up comedy because people tend to talk in clusters during performances, but after we 3 moved to the front, we had a great time. During his act, Ronn easily stole the whole show when using the wireless microphone he stepped out the sidewalk window and began harassing the pedestrians on the sidewalk. "Can you still hear me in there?!" And we all nodded and clapped, amazed at his brazenness. Or maybe it was the passerby who mooned the entire audience through the window.
