You can discuss whatever you want here as long as things remain civil, and as long as you don't discuss moderation. The other thread has, amazingly, remained fairly civil so far. We're going to keep this one civil as well. I just wanted to make sure everyone understood that.

They are crying more than anything about the need to learn a different game...one at which a larger amount of people have easier access to. Are you in for hockey?

That other thread has remained civil because I removed myself from it. I'm a big boy and I learned that bullies aren't bullies if you don't give them the chance to bully. :)

Working in Northern Virginia this week and have an invitation to the Caps-San Jose game tomorrow night at the Phone Booth. ^

Any important news today discussed in the box? I was swamped at work and am just getting a chance to get online.

One of the decent things about my health insurance coverage:

* Urgent care, doctor, three x-rays = $12.98

Lots to catch up on, because today has been a pretty crazy day...

Long story short: a while back (Oct. 2 to be exact) I wrote a simple reply/comment to a post by the Bing Travel account (fareologist) on Twitter. The topic was Thanksgiving travel - what you paid, how far out you booked, etc. That was followed by a "hey, would you be interested in talking to a reporter about this?" and I said, sure, I'm up for anything...

As it turns out, said reporter was from the New York Times - and we ended up exchanging emails and talking on the phone once. She said she wasn't sure when the article would run, and I kind of forgot about it...

Until this morning, when I got a call saying "this is the NYT, the article is running tomorrow, and we're sending a photographer to your house this afternoon!"

The photo shoot took 2 hours, and I'm hoping fervently that there were SOME shots that came out non-:rolleyes:! They wanted some shots of me with my laptop (presumably "hard at work finding good travel deals!" :p) so I of course pulled up FT on the screen, just in case it made it into the photo. :D

Anyway, the article runs tomorrow in the Business section. Hopefully I haven't said anything completely inaccurate or stupid. Keep an eye out. :)

Hell of a matchup. Will you consider going to the game that I opened to FTers?

Please go ahead and put me as a probable for now. I'll try to finalize travel in the next few days.

And here I was thinking sbm12 was the one with all the media attention. Good for you; if you find it online be sure to link it here. :)

^ Yes please link! How cool!

Kitchens, hockey, food, :rolleyes: and otters. The usual.:D

Where are we drinking tomorrow? I am in desperate need.

I consider going to any game if I am in town. Which game is that you are talking about?

Will do. ^ I will figure out ticket distribution and such at a later date. We usually get them with enough notice so as to mail them out to anyone not on the bus.
