Give Away Your Old Running Shoes


I left out something funny that I thought I share here, which has to do with what I wrote earlier about the Peking Acrobats. Essentially I left out a "highlight" of the night so I decided to use Sandy's email to our friend who provided us the tickets as the "mouthpiece" for this part of the entry.

We were in the very first row and dead center. I've never had front row seats for a show before. We even made eye contact with a few of the acrobats. One guy was pretty handsome, and he looked at me a few times then he would loook at Mike and give him a dirty look.

Really I didn't think he was all that. Sure he could do cartwheels and fly from one pole to another with ease but could he debug javascript for crossbrowsers, and say "Web Two Point OH" ten times really quickly. Who am I kidding I can't say it that many times either but the point is he's probably not all that threatening outside of his acrobatic tights.

What was the lesson learned? Maybe having front row seats aren't all that wonderful after all. Nonetheless I have to say that the whole experience overall outweigh the annoying factor of having some "handsome" guy staring you down. I am sure Sands had a fun time, too.

Meanwhile...

Getting A Foot In The Grand Opening Door of RRS San Carlos

It's early yet but if you need to do your spring cleaning, and you find it hard to let go of your favorite pairs of running shoes (or like me too cheap to upgrade), here is something I think that will help ease those "letting-go" pains.

RRS stands for Road Runner Sports and this is their great grand opening idea in San Carlos: “Bring in your old pair of shoes & get $15 off a new pair.” (See the ad here and here).

Brilliant.

Also for anyone interested in checking out Road Runner Sports this Saturday between 11:30-2:30PM I am going there to upgrade my running shoes. PS Sands you know who else lives in San Carlos right?

Finally...

Congrats to Wuboy for going to an open source company that I think we be changing the CRM game.
