My friends are hosting an underwear party at their house on 18th tonight. We have had a few of these before and they are always a ton of fun. I’ve been looking forward to this all week.

I was pretty wary about the first underwear party two years ago, but it turned out to be a ton of fun and they have become sort of a semi-annual event for my group of friends.… read more “Underwear Party Tonight”

One of my acquaintances, Adam, invited Fletcher and I to hike up to Camp Muir on Mt. Ranier on Saturday. Fletcher doesn’t want to do it, but I am going to. It’s going to be pretty intense hike, but not as difficult as Mt. Adams was. The thing that got me on Adams was the altitude (12,000 ft) and Camp Muir is pretty high up as well (10,000 ft).… read more “Rainier, here I come!”

Ben and Leah did a great job in Getting Undressed, the dance show/play Leah created with a grant from the Melinda Gates Foundation. The show was basically about a couple in a city apartment and their interactions with each other, their neighbors, fashion and the city itself. Leah is a fairly talented dancer who moves with fluidity and grace.… read more “Getting Undressed”
