The Rules
From Esquire (December 2005, p. 92):
Rule No. 996: Anyone who shares a name with a celebrity has had that coincidence pointed out before you came along.
Please be advised.

Um, Wow
December babies usually have nothing but complaints about how their birthdays get overshadowed by the holidays ... I, however, have nothing to complain about tonight. Several of my best friends (Ryan, Tom, Holly et al.) took me out for a night of shenanigans at Ho'Neills in Salem. Turns out that by the end of the night, Lyndon Byers2 was buying me shots and Brian Worth3 was wishing me a happy birthday. Charmed life? Perhaps. Fun stories? Definitely. And of course it all happens on the one night I don't bring my digi with me for photographic evidence. Guess you'll just have to take my word for it.
Update: My college roommate Steve pointed out that if I had found Tattoo4 from Fantasy Island5, then I could have hosted my own episode of The Surreal Life6.

I'd Like to Thank the Academy ...
I had a blast with Parag and Ronda on the 12 Bars of Christmas pub crawl last weekend, but the frosting on the cake was definitely getting the Baby New Year (MVP) award:
Well pub crawlers, we have another 12 Bars of Christmas in the books. The good news is that we have crowned Will Murray this year's pub crawl MVP for his tireless recruiting efforts and general spirit of the crawl. Will edged out Kendall Poulin for the crown just after TC Lounge when the two-month-old diva made an early exit.
It was a bittersweet victory over Kendall, who rallied for the title by ooh-ing and ah-ing the crowd with her newborn cuteness. Still, at 13 years running the 12 Bars pub crawl will likely be on long enough for her to have her own shot at greatness! And if you missed the show this year, well ... too bad for you!
Oh yeah, and Parag got Rookie of the Year honors for his first appearance on the 12 Bars crawl, so I'd like to congratulate him as well!

"This is a U2 town."
Bono kicked off last night's show7 at the Garden with that declaration, and then proceeded to show the crowd how much U28 loves to perform in Boston—their home away from home—by putting on an amazing concert and coming back for three (!) encores. Hearing classics like "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "With Or Without You" alongside more recent hits like "Vertigo" and "Elevation" definitely made my night.
