I’m finally regaining coherence after a week of sleep depravation. I went to Cambridge last week for a User Interface conference. The conference had its ups and downs, but over all I did learn some interesting things that I can apply to my job. I spent the first part of the week hanging out at pubs with some friends that my coworker Kim had met last year. They were a fun group and a nice escape from the usual corporate drones that populated the conference.

On the last night I was there I went out on my own to do a little exploring. I ate at a yummy vegan pizza shop, then headed to a club across from Fenwick park for some dancing. The club sucked. I think almost everyone was 18 and apparently nobody had ever explained the concept of beat matching to the DJ. I jetted out of there and over to a little bar that a cool cat on MySpace recommended to me. It looked like a good time, but it was 1AM and they were packing up. I decided to skip the T and walk back to my hotel. On the way I passed a bar with some thumpin music and decided to check it out. There was a really good local D&B DJ. And by really good, I mean, I don’t usually get into D&B, but I danced my ass off until they closed. Very intelligent music, but I guess that what you’d expect when your at a bar half way between Harvard and MIT.

Got into freezing cold Cleveland the next day. Had a nice lunch with my mom, Stef’s mom, and Stef. Spent the night with Henry at his new place in Willoughby. Went to Melissa’s wedding the next day. Great wedding and a beautiful day for it. It was outside and a little chilly, but the sun was out and the ceremony was very nice. We went to the Goahead monthly Saturday night and it was a great time. I’ve very impressed with how far they’ve come. The decorations were fantastic and the new hardcore-industrial-dark-psytrance producer in town, Xyla, played a set that was a fire breathing breath of fresh air for our Goahead scene. It was so nice to get to spend the night with good friends. It was sad to have to go back in the morning, but it’s defiantly nice to be back and catching up on sleep.

Stef and I can’t wait for Christmas when we’ll have a long 10 days to spend with family and friends. It will be here before we know it.
