Angie and I heard the snap!
The snap of victory - for the kinda awesome-looking wooden mousetraps, laden with chunky Skippy and emblazoned ‘Victory’ 40s style.
But the snap of victory meant the snap of a neck, for the furry vermin I’d seen scampering in the kitchen just moments before.
She didn’t want to [...]

I have no other words for this - other than, yes, that is the REAL Paris Hilton, and yes, I met her at Coachella.
It was kinda like meeting Mickey Mouse at Disneyland, except unlike Mickey, she didn’t have a sweaty pervert inside her who wanted to hug me.
Oh, you dirty celebrity [...]

PHOENIX, Arizona, April 26, 2007
Ok, so I might technically be “on vacation” and supposedly taking it easy whilst I visit my folks in Arizona on my way out to Coachella.

But you know this girl doesn’t believe in holidays - who’s to say I can’t coordinate the launch of a new blog product poolside?

When the hot water heater in the basement’s pilot light goes out due to a flood, and the days start to creep by and the blogger’s still wearing the same outfit, what’s a girl to do?
Why, invent a recipe for a homemade hot shower!

WASHINGTON, DC, April 17, 2007
So I did it - I’m now a denizen of no state - a DC resident, one of the few, broke and proud, in 68.3 sq mi (177.0 km²) of con(per)verted swampland.
I surrendered my Georgia identity but not my fake accent, to join the half-million representation-less in the murky heart of [...]

I realize it’s been almost a week since I last posted. What can I say, kids? The pollen and the cold and the drama has got me curled up under the sheets, snotacular.
Will. Blog. Soon.
UPDATE
I’m currently looking for an Information Architect who is interested in alt-media to help revamp AltWeeklies.com. Interested? [...]

WASHINGTON, DC, March 28, 2007
I woke bent, seemingly, on a day of failed attempts at satiation.
Maker’s Mark the night before had red wax capped my inhibitions, and I climbed - nay, lurched - up mouse-ridden stairs to the fearful, creepy attic, where I dug in boxes and retrieved the chest - abuzzing with long dead [...]

Excerpts from International Late Night Email
Boy:
There’s a conversation in this sometime, maybe … but it’s an interesting thing to be male and decline an open offer for sex. It has sort of a twofold negative implication in that it’s slightly “un-male” (what kind of guy declines sex?) and also, it hurts feelings. Maybe [...]

AUSTIN, Texas, March 13, 2007
I cannot believe that I am still alive. I have never drank so much, met so many amazing people, taken so many notes, done so much networking, slept so little, danced with so many nerds, and had such a great time. I effing loved South by Southwest Interactive 2007!
Mmkay.

I’ll be bloggin’ the sessions and all the goodness I’m learning at South by Southwest Interactive 2007 in Austin, Texas, on AAN’s not-quite-launched-yet-so-this-is-a-sneak-preview blog, web.aan.org. So LauraFries.com gets the leftovers - the blow by blow of the in between.
