Happy St. Paddy’s Day, Indeed!
I love the Internet. Really, I do. It can change lives.
Today, for instance, the Internet changed my life. You see, my wife and I were to have a date with some friends a few weeks ago; we were all going to dinner and a concert together. It was the Wilco show in Birmingham, Alabama, at the Alabama Theatre. I will spare you the details surrounding our level of excitement and anticipation; this being a favorite band, a favorite venue, and a first time to see the band live all at once, and with good friends who also enjoy the aforementioned to boot! We were all set. Ready to go. On point, if you will.
Then our babysitter called in drunk.
True story. She called and had had too much to drink that day, so we told her not to come over. She remembers nothing of this conversation.
So we did not go. We missed the show; a show that was, according to Chad, tremendous.
But now, through the power of the Internet, and the dedication of a certain blogger in Decatur, we can have it all back.
Now, the unfortunate part is that, due to circumstances beyond my control, I can’t get to viachicago.org from work to access this great gift, so I am hoping that someone will help out with that. But in any case, today is made sweeter by the renewed discovery that people are often inclined to share, and once again the Internet proves it is good for more than porn.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
