I had fun at DieCon 6 this past weekend. I was good to see all of my buddies. I had a blast playing Rock High, a role playing game based on a high school full of mutants, and the Spycraft LARP. I lugged around a backpack full of books. That was mistake. I had serious back pain yesterday and self-treated it with ice packs and aspirin. Today it was a little better. I called in sick to work and am nursing my back with heat packs and Aleve. I hope to be well enough to limp my lame self around the office tomorrow.

The weekend before last I took my boss’ sister to a tribute show at Pops. That’s the closest I’ve come to a date in a long time. We had fun watching the tribute acts to Kiss, AC/DC and Ozzy. The Kiss tribute band had a lady who stood out front of the stage and translated the show in sign language. It was interesting to watch Kiss lyrics being signed by a cute blonde woman. The AC/DC band was good. The Ozzy band played a few too many obscure tunes for my taste, but still did a decent job.
