I just had lunch with bryface. Highlight of blip for me.

It's all downhill from here.

those newer cabs with the credit card swiping screen in the backseat have pre-defined tipping amounts that usually start at 20%. If for any reason you want to tip less than that, you have to make sure to tap "other amount" or whatever the option is. But 20% is fair if the driver didn't get you killed.

expect to see me show up at barcade around midnight with three big bags of stuff and a need for a good beer and some quality rampage time

i might drop by barcade for a bit if i don't accidentally oversleep tonight.  my place is not too far of a walk from there.

I am in town for one week now and I had to tip only once. That can give an idea of the kind of food I'm having. I got plans for tonight but tomorrow I'm thinking of getting to the open mic area about 7~8 pm. Anybody up for a drink?
