Guitar Hero II to Provide Entertainment During Chicago ad:tech Show

guitar_hero2.jpg

Now this ought to be good. If you were even remotely considering attending the ad:tech conference at Navy Pier in Chicago July 31-August 1, there’s something that just might solidify the decision for you. We’ve all been to various industry events and parties where, for whatever reason, co-workers eventually find themselves on some stage doing some strange thing providing endless humor and enjoyment for everyone in attendance. And, no, we’re not talking about Arnold’s Boston office pole dancing at a recent Christmas party. Though it might be interesting to see what all the booths babes would do if a giant pole appeared in the middle of the exhibit hall floor.

Anyway, there will be no poles at this event apart from the ones holding up booths and Navy Pier itself. But there will be Guitar Hero II set up at the WebTrends-sponsored cafe in the center of the exhibit hall floor for attendees to provide endless entertainment for their co-workers. OK so it’s only a video game but WebTrends is giving away two Xbox 360s so if you need another distraction from all those people telling you how Harry Potter ends, this just might be the thing for you. Angela and I will be there. Will you?

The sad truth why adult children slowly stop sharing real things with their parents has nothing to do with distance or busy schedules—it’s that somewhere in their 30s they realized their parent would either worry too much, give advice they didn’t ask for, or make it about themselves, and the silence was easier than managing any of those three responses

Nobody prepares you for the loneliness of being well-married. Not unhappy enough to leave, not connected enough to stop aching, just existing in the strange middle territory where everything is fine and fine is the loneliest word in the English language
