okay so yesterday... pretty much finished all the flash projects (or rather art directed johnny thru them...)
then i had to leave work at 5pm so that i could get down to belmar by 7pm... why? what's going on in belmar? well, it certainly isn't that comedy thing...
i am now offically on the Belmar Saint Patrick's Day Parade Committee...
so you are gonna be hearing a lot about that!!
it's gonna be great - gotta help out with a lot of fundraisers (translation: schmoozing with bagpipers : translation : guys in kilts!!!!!! woo!!!)
also i am trying to get them to let me redesign their website...
think it needs a redesign, my friends? (instead, i crapped this thing out in 20 minutes, i will rethink it, but...)
met some interesting people there - they only had the new members show up last night - apparently there are 25 members who've been on the committee for like, 31 years since it started - and the guy, Dave, last night (think he's in his 70's) he said "well, as you can see, we're archaic... and before we die and take all the info with us, we have to get some youngsters in here to take the parade over"...
this year will consist of me helping to line the parade up - it's MARCH 7th - so y'all better come down there!!!
lining the parade up : translation : erin will be schmoozing with a thousand pipers!!! (odds are there may be a redheaded guy in the bunch!)
also, i will be selling tickets to the fundraisers, hanging signs up around the county and also going to meetings above the Friendly Sons of The Shillelagh in belmar (which means that after the meetings i have to be signed into the pub downstairs because only men are allowed and women must be escorted in there and signed in)
Friendly Sons of The Shillelagh : translation : irish guys... most likely old irish guys... BUT... old irish guys who have irish sons!!!!
i am gonna try and fiddle with some IA for the belmarparade.com site - get things organized and make it look a bit prettier
also i will be designing the posters and all that (so i said... i may have bitten off more than i can chew - but i don't care - this will be a great opportunity to get out there and mingle and all that good stuff...)
at the moment i don't foresee myself sitting in the back of a convertible waving at the crowd... most likely will be in my irish knit on MARCH 7th, wearing mittens, holding a radio and screaming "WE'VE GOT A PIPER DOWN!!!!"
i can't wait!!! :)
oh yeah, afterwards i went over to Patrick's Pub with a girl named jude i met at the meeting and i had half a glass of coors light -- but didn't drink much - felt too guilty about the whole diet thing...
this morning my weight loss total is 4 pounds since monday!
woo!!
