Bathroom Tales, Virgins Rule & Origins
So, it was TK’s birthday on the weekend, when she turned (ahem!) 28, the (in)famous Johnny O was in attendance and I got to hear the JC Penney/Banana Republic bathroom story first hand. Yes, it is funnier when he tells it himself, and no I will not be repeating it 
Slight typo in the title – it should be Virgin Rules – and I’m referring of course to the upcoming festival in Baltimore that Ryan was good enough to bulk-purchase tickets for all of us in advance. Said rules were released today and seem somewhat needlessly restrictive, a sample:
- No knives/weapons of any kind (OK – fair enough)
- No outside food and beverage (check rush nutrition ) , except plastic factory sealed water bottles (2) (Booo! – and how big can the bottles be?)
- No professional cameras (changeable lenses) (eh? – why the hell not?)
- No pets (not even sure why this is listed, maybe Paris Hilton is showing up…..)
- No drugs/drug paraphernalia (Boooo! again, but understandable :))
- No laser pointers (OK – I hate the damn things too)
- No fireworks or explosives (Dammit! and here I was going to bring my Uzi and mow down The Who)
- No musical instruments (Not an issue for me, but I magine some of the bands will be upset…..)
On the geeky side I finally got an old Origin 200 up and running – I managed to get IRIX CD’s from a friend and it is running like a charm. I’ve never used Irix before but it seems like a fairly standard Unix implementation. I would have like to run Linux on it, but the support just is not there for the platform and despite my best efforts I couldn’t make it stable under Linux.
