Of Cons and Preparations

Well, plans have been finalized, bags are packed, batteries charged, affairs are in order, and I have 4 more hours til i have to get up and start my final steps to get ready to begin the journey to C2E2. Ron and Rick have been confirmed to go as well, a couple more friends of mine. 

This'll be my first time to C2E2 but not to cons. At least it's not a 24 hour con like some of the ones I've been to. It'll be fun. Since I'm not staying in a hotel, I won't have as much fun as I could. 

The groups plans vary. Some want to meet with people like Kevin Smith and Felicia Day. Maybe invite them to a DnD game. Lol. Another wants to meet with Ron Perlman. And another, well, she just wants to have as much fun as she can. As for me, just a break from the humdrum of life. 

Lack of booze and upcoming cons.

Haven't been to the bar nor have I really drank as of late, so it's a guarantee that I'm not drunk enough  for this. I haven't kept this updated as much as I'd like, but there's a nice slew of posting to come. Some recent news, I'm confirmed for the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo, C2E2. I have my badge ready to go. Frequent posts on that. Some pics as well. Heading there with my good friend  Krystal. It should be fun. And since they are releasing a beer for the con, Galaxy Hero, it might make for a good post itself. 

I was half tempted to wear a costume. Still thinking about it. I have a few ideas, but I'm not sure. Still wearing my green hat.  If you see a green tophat/fedora on a dude with a Alice pack on his back, that's more then likely me. Say hi. 

Also, I'm standing in front of work right now. Nearby is a rather popular downtown hotel. Wednesday night and C2E2 people are already showing up. As a group was getting out of a taxi, one had a NERV logo on his pack, another guy had Edward's coat on from FMA. C2E2 has already posted pictures of Day 1 setup. It'll all be here soon. 

The Bar #1

Time for the Thursday  Music Night at my neighborhood bar with two friends, Moe and Krystal. Well, we have live music going as we drink. Problem is, this guy sucks. Usually the music is pretty good, but is often killed by them adding too much personal flair. This guy is running a solo set. Piano and vocals.  As I'm writing this he playing a variant of "Turn the Page" and in the middle of it he moves over to "Wonderwall", and right back to "Turn the Page". INDEFT! Now he's playing some bastardized version of  "Folsom Prison". Sometimes we get bad nights like this. I just finished off my Robert the Bruce and I'm about to chug my Blackhawk Porter. Both great beer. Far better then what the bar is drinking, most of them have a can of hipster piss- I mean PBR. 

Krystal and I have a good idea. Ping long balls. Give the right spin and keep popping him in the head every time the musical guests fuck up. With this guy, he'd wind up with a concussion. to make matter worse, he's not even playing full songs. Now he's just playing the first verse, maybe the chorus. God must be a vengeful God to have me listen to this. And now finally he's stopped for a break. I'm happy. 

Good music started pumping through the jukebox. A hell of a lot better then the shit the guy was playing. And fuck, he's back. Now he's playing a song that's too hard to fuck up. "Pianoman". How the fuck can you play piano and he's fucking it up royally. Even Krystal is saying she's not drunk enough. 

All I know is that we're calling it a night early. This guy is just killing our buzz. Well folks, that's all tonight. 

Introduction

The name's Fred. I've done blogs that had a purpose in the past. Tales of my job as a graveyard clerk at a convenience store, hidden gems at thrift store, hell, even one reporting on the G8/NATO summits when it hit Chicago. All of then had a purpose but I eventually  became tired of them. Kinda like a toy you get for Christmas. I decided maybe I needed a blog that entertains me as it may you, so began the idea that is INDEFT. You ever think that something is boring, but after a few drinks it becomes awesome? Well, that's this blog. 9 times out of 10, I'll either be drinking or drunk as I post. Just warning you now, but you should have expected that from the title. 

This blog will be about whatever the fuck I wanna post at the time. I could be rambling on about stupid customers, music, movies, daily nonsense, life, stuff, or things. Can't forget things. Those are important. 

Methinks a bit of backstory on me may be in order. I'm a graveyard clerk who is that guy. You know the guy I'm talking about. That guy who either knows and can do what you need? The one who can help you to create a DnD campaign, fix your computer, sharpen your blades, repair your car, dispose of a body? Yeah, that guy? I'm one of them. I'm 26, but in no way, has my life been dull. I have done things you may not believe. I've done things everyone has. After all, everybody poops, right? My philosophy is simple, Carpe Noctem! None of that YOLO shit, that's just Carpe Diem for stupid people. I enjoy life, as it should be. 

Told you I'd be rambling. Anyhow, welcome, have a drink, and if none of this blog makes sense to you, you're not drunk enough for this.
