awesome!

I just scored some majorly good tickets for the NIN concert. They had a presale for registered nin.com members, which was really nice - there was a 2-ticket limit per person and you have to pick up the tickets with a matching ID, so basically it's a system designed to limit scalpers and brokers. As a result of my punctuality, I got us these seats: Section 106, Row B, Seats (1, 2) (map here). Yay!

Here's some other awesome news. Blake just told us that we have a new player on our flag football team: Mark Dodge, who just graduated from A&M and was a starting linebacker on the football team! Here are some highlights from his bio:

• Position: LB. Height: 6'2". Weight: 220.
  
• Served four years in the U.S. Army before returning to college to fulfill his dream of playing college football.
• Was at the Pentagon on September 11, 2001 when American Airlines Flight 77 crashed.
• Two-time Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week in his first season with the Aggies.
• Earned his first POW award after making 17 tackles and grabbing an interception against Nebraska on Veteran’s Day.
• Earned his second POW after posting a crucial fourth-down stop and a fourth quarter interception in the Aggies’ 12-7 victory over Texas.
• Honorable mention All-Big 12 by the AP.

Wow! One of our teammates has predicted that our players' game attendance might improve with this news.
