Jerzei Collie's journal

I heard the Denver Sweet bar where the FoxTrot meet has been held is closing after this weekend. The August and October Foxtrots are already scheduled for different locations. Hopefully a new permanent location can be found for December.

The catering order I delivered today was a bit late. When I got to the restaurant, the employees told me the order hadn't been started yet. In addition to waiting for the order to finish, I seemed to hit almost every red light on the way to the customer.

Tomorrow, I'll attend a meetup at a downtown bar called The Rabbit Hole.

I'll be attending the FoxTrot meet in Denver tonight. Avian Invasion will be one of the DJs.

This will be the first FoxTrot I've attended since last October. I missed December's meet due to my leg injury, then I missed February's meet due to not having a drivable car.

I thought I was going to miss FoxTrot's annual Howl-O-Ween party this year due to my cruise. A poster just released says Howl-O-Ween will be on October 19th, which is one week before I leave for the cruise. Now I just hope I don't catch a cold or anything worse at the party.

Dad and I had dinner with my brother's friend tonight. Tomorrow, the friend and I will go to Costco while Dad is at church. I thought I would only get a couple items on my list, but the shopping trip will include groceries. I cleared some extra space in my refrigerator.

I decided not to suit for tonight's bowling meet. I'll save the suiting for DenFur in less than a month.

It's been a long time since I went bowling, and my scores certainly reflected that. My first game was 59, and my second was 110. Some of the bowlers on my lane left during the second game. Another bowler and I bowled in their places. I seemed to get most of my spares and strikes bowling for others rather than myself.

There's a furry bowling meet happening in Denver later this month. Hopefully I'll be able to go to that meet. It's been a long time since a bowling meet was held.

I don't know if my Saturday show actually broadcast. I was going to e-mail Boomer before I began, but my Mixxx program's green "on air" light came on and I thought I was connected.

It's raining and snowing right now. The FoxTrot meet in Denver is happening tonight.

I might not attend FoxTrot as frequently from now on. I like the bar where it's held, but it gets really crowded. Also, I noticed I don't see as many of my friends there anymore. This time, one of the drink specials was a rum drink called "Rocket-Pop Red." They were smart to not name it "Red Rocket!"

I have a flash drive with music that I plug into my car stereo. In a bit of perfect timing, it started playing Bucktown Tiger's "Chicken and Fries" when I pulled up to a Burger King drive-thru window. I had gotten chicken sandwiches, nuggets and Whoppers, but no fries.

I loved the music selection of one of the DJs at FoxTrot last night. I heard a bunch of the '80s and '90s tunes I grew up listening to on the radio, and even a few I played on the air when I started out in college radio. Just before FoxTrot started, either the DJ or the jukebox was playing AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long." I quipped that I must be in the wrong bar!

"Oh, no! They're going to eat her ... and not in a good way!"

One of the FoxTrot attendees told me he liked my eyebrows because they were "so expressive." Parts of my eyebrows have a tendency to stick up no matter how many times I slick them down and try to get them to grow the right way.

I tried both of the bar's drink specials. The "Blue Woo" was a basic blue curacao and pineapple vodka drink. The "T.K.O." had rum and cherry liqueur. I was expecting a drink with a name like "T.K.O." to be strong, but neither of the drinks had any kind of effect on me.

Since I had missed the last two FoxTrot meets, I didn't know the Denver Sweet bar had pushed back its kitchen's closing time from 10 PM to 9 PM. I usually order dinner when FoxTrot begins at 9:00. I left around 11:15 so I could get dinner on the way home. From now on, I'll need to have a light dinner before heading to FoxTrot.

I think this is the first fill-in show using my upgraded internet. So far so good!

I was hoping to attend the FoxTrot meet in Denver tonight. I'll be going to a singles meetup in Colorado Springs from 5-7 PM. I'll likely be too tired after that. I'll either play in Steelwoulfe's game night or just go to bed early tonight.

I actually used my toilet plunger today to unclog my bathtub drain. The tub still had an inch or two of water from yesterday's shower. Hopefully I can clean the tub today or tomorrow.
