Grand!

We had our second casino night last night, thanks to the benevolent Marke Sobes. He got a swanky hotel room at the Detroit MGM Grand and we all joined him to play some games and have some hang out time. I got very lucky on a dollar slot machine, but gave most of it back to blackjack and roulette. Overall, being in the room was more fun than being on the casino floor.

Jen: Let's tell them I'm without a toddler tonight! (upon learning the casino bar stopped serving liquor at 1:30am)

Marke: I have to update my Facebook with (undisclosed adult-themed statement).

Me: Marke, you're a teacher.

Marke: That's true. (pause) Aw, fuck it.

Rob's birthday was Thursday. He hates being on the internet, so I'll just post his "cake" picture. Here's some pumpkin bread I added candles to for a mini backstage party. Marke presented him with a sweet Detroit t-shirt to remind him of his time in the Motor City.

I'm excited for Saturday shows tonight and also excited to go home to Chicago post-show tomorrow night. I'm off now to work on updating some post-election show material. Hoping for the best, election-result-wise. If I write as though Obama wins...?
