It is almost upon us!

Can you feel it...?

The excitement in the air...?

(Or is that just the impending heat stroke?)

21 minutes left in the workday before I leave my workspace prison downtown and make my way to the mecca that is the first weekend Artist's Meeting for the 14/48 SUMMER 2009 FESTIVAL at ON THE BOARDS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

This year's fest is jam-packed with talent, and I am just tickled pink to be covering both weekends. What have you done to prepare for the fest? I spent my day ignoring work and facebook stalking all the people I didn't know on the artist roster (an embarrassing amount, truth be told).

Before I leave work, a bit of a personal question for anyone who will answer: Am I still a 14/48 virgin?

I volunteered for a bit last Winter, but I only had like two beers over two weekends and couldn't have spent a combined 8 hours of my time. So what does that equate to? I'm confident I made it at least past first. Second base, maybe? Did 14/48 and I get to second base last time? It sure didn't feel like I made it alllll the way home with 14/48...I'm pretty sure I would have known how that felt if it happened.

Aaand I'm out. Queen Anne, ho!!!
