Last Night

Last night was a fun evening. I had plans to hang out with a girlfriend at her place, and then found out at the last minute that my blogging friend Robb's two boys were going to be playing at open mic night at the Seahorse Tavern. These days I'm not one to pass up an evening out, much less a chance to meet an online blogging, running, and homeschooling friend. So we headed on down to The Seahorse to hear the boys play.

They were awesome! They were only on briefly (it was a minors in a bar at 8:00 pm thing) but it would have been great to hear them play a lot longer. My girlfriend and I stayed for another hour, and I have to say that the Cusack Boys were the highlight of our evening. Hopefully next time we'll all be able to hang out a little longer.

It was interesting meeting Robb. I've only ever met one other person from online in person like that - Chris - so it was fun meeting someone else. I've known Robb online for about a year and a half now, and it was interesting to discover that he was just as I'd expected. You hear all these stories sometimes about online weirdos, and while I'm sure they're out there, it's cool to find out that someone is exactly as they represent themselves online.

It's weird, too, to know someone from their blog and then meet them in person. I know a lot about Robb and his family and his thoughts on life...but had a hard time making the chat. In some ways I think of him like an 'old friend', but since we'd never talked face to face I felt a little unsure of myself. Weird. Maybe next time. :)
