Pre-move Festivities

The weekend before I moved, I took a pre-trip down to Cincinnati to see the new digs of a couple of old friends, Jen Vannest and Patrick Arnold, whom I had gotten to know back in my Columbus days. I spent a leisurely Saturday with Jen and Patrick in the Queen City eating brunch, going to the Simpsons movie and watching a Reds game against the Cubs.

Oh yeah. And taking a couple pictures of the Hamilton County courthouse.

This is apparently the look of a man who is about to watch the Cubs play on the road.

Jen's gone all frou-frou since her days as a punk rock star with The Remainders, but she still smiles the same way.

And Patrick's still the kind of guy who would name his dog after a Simpsons character.

Homer's favorite toy had been ripped to shreds a few minutes after this picture was taken.
