Wachovia Cup Weekend

Another excellent weekend, courtesy of the Queen's City. Friday & Sunday - The Wachovia Cup. My first (and most definitely not the last) PGA event/tournament. Tiger wasn't here this weekend, but I'm a survivor. I was close enough to spit on Phil, Vijay, and rising Snedeker. So maybe it wasn't me that missed out but instead Tiger who missed out on seeing me... think about it.

But the "golf fun" didn't end with Sunday - instead my celeb-sightings have continued...

This morning, while at work, whom should I see i the lobby of the Hampton? Anthony Kim.... the Wachovia Cup Champion himself. (He stayed the whole week @ our hotel, but no one really cared until last night) Nice guy - dresses abit like a rapper.

& you are now assuming that this sums up the weekend - but you're wrong again... back to Friday... Hilary and I went to the Phillips Place Block Party in SouthPark. Featured Bands: The Pointer Sisters (what do they sing you might ask - i'm so excited) & The Doobie Brothers (hum - ooooh listen to the music). But that isn't the focus - no, the focus was dancing in a throng of 40 & 50 somethings right next to - Rick Flair... our local Charlotte retired Pro-Wrestler/resident.

The Celebs are just flocking to me these days...

It's ok to be jealous...

a couple new things

just a quick list of some new stuff:

dan layman has created a new blog and allowed me to be a part of it - The Caption (click me). it's a good time. check it out, have fun, post your captions!

new post on my other blog - neopilgrimage.blogspot.com - it's mostly in christianese - so if you're not in the mood, skip it.

i need recommendations on the "best" (and @ the same time cost-effective) guitar strings, and where i can by them in bulk.

also - this is the "new" giant squid recently captured:

A Who's Who Weekend

this was an excellent weekend for people watching [of the celebrity type]. hilary and i took a weekend road trip up to D.C. to visit some friends (and enjoy bumper to bumper D.C. traffic). our captiol is a great city even in the rain; so great that it attracts all types of celebrity.

sunday we headed out, with our native D.C. friends to their home church, McLean Bible Church (which is huge and quite the experience on its own). as we stood in the massive front lobby, hilary's brother (josh) leaned over and nodded his head towards the wall behind me. as i turned he said "i'm pretty sure that's one of the baldwin brothers." and sure enough - there stood steven baldwin in all his greasy haired glory. he's put on some weight since this picture was taken, but he is unmistakeble none-the-less. i hoped we might be lucky enough to catch some inspirational shout out, but apparently he was visiting for the same reason as we were - just to worship... but hey - i worshipped with steven baldwin this sunday! so feel free to be incredibly jealous. now that i have this experience under my belt - it's time to press on, next i want to go to church with john stamos and then dolly parton... one down, two to go.

equally (if not slightly more exciting) who should i happen to see walking outside my hotel this morning... Roy Williams. that's right... UNC Chapel Hill's basketball coach. although we didn't speak, i'm pretty sure i made quite the impression. standing in my yellow shirt and blue pin-stripe pants, how could i not. anyway - two celebs, one weekend.

(plus the wachovia cup is in town this week... so i am holding out for a few more celeb sightings... i'll keep you posted)

I too would like to play the caption game... post your caption for this photo in the comments. I will arbitrarily choose a winner at an undisclosed time.


I'll get you started:

baseball @ it's best

yesterday i was doing a little "research" on our soon to be new home town (finding various places to waste free time and hopefully not too much money). during this process i stumbled across the augusta minor leage baseball team - the Augusta GreenJackets... awesome. i'm not a huge baseball fan - i enjoy going to games, but baseball on t.v. doesn't do it for me. but minor league teams remind me of going to bristol tiger games (and then bristol sox when they changed affiliations) with my grandad. hotdogs, fun-dip, and baseball bingo.


despite what you might think - minor league baseball is fantastic. and now i have a new team and their team-name may be the best i have ever discovered - a baseball team that bases its name from a world renowned golf tournament. just look at their emblem - i'll be getting the hat - watch for it.
