Picked up some いいちこ(iichiko) shochu this weekend, enjoying it on the rocks and it wasn't too pricey for a shōchu noob such as myself. :D

I will be attending RailsConf this year, along with some of my fellow rocketeers.

RailsConf and BohConf were a great time last year, and I was glad to visit my hometown of Baltimore, MD.

Last year's highlights:

• Baltimore!
• Much free food, beer, good conversations at BohConf
• Drinking with @ryanbigg
• Eating at Fogo de Chao
• Mugshots by @j3 (thanks!)
• Shenanigans
• Real Maryland crab feast with friends
• Walking the Inner Harbor in the pouring rain
• @p_elliott's many interviews with some great Rubyists

I've never been to Austin, nor Texas in general, so I'm very excited to go this time.

If you see me there, say hello and I'll give you some Hashrocket stickers!

Found myself in a St. Augustine antique shop with Ashley, and actually came away with some neat stuff.

Along with some old-ish (70s and 80s) records, I found a great pre-screwtop Cointreau bottle. I haven't determined the age of the bottle yet, but I'll update when I do.

The records:

* Billy Joel - Greatest Hits Volume I & Volume II
* Animal House soundtrack
* Eddie Murphy (comedy and music)
* Genesis - Invisible Touch
* Depeche Mode - Some Great Reward
* Billy Joel - Glass Houses

I'm particularly excited about Some Great Reward and Billy Joel's Greatest Hits!
