UAB GameDay: Houston 2011

So, first up: TEDxPeachTree

Amazing experience! Just as good as last year and got to meet so many great and talented people doing amazing things. I always going to well run events and TEDxPeachTree, for the second year in a row, has been one of the “Best Run” conferences I’ve every been to. I can’t wait for the videos to go up so I can show you some of the passionate presentations and performances from people like @courtneyspence and @DantesRameau.

Heading down to Legion Field at about 2pm. But until then, I’m headed off to Black Creek park to get one of my last runs up there in. Going to start moving my crap next week. Can’t wait till I’m “downtown”.

So this week has been an interesting week. As most know, I’m passionate about UAB. 5 years of blood, sweat and tears as the mascot kinda does that. But the events that transpired this week… well, they have forced us to fight! I’m trying to recharge a bit this morning, so head over to FreeUAB.com…

Seeing beyond

I knew that this weekend was the Magic City Classic. For those who don’t know, that’s the annual clash between Alabama A&M and Alabama State. The “Iron Bowl” of Historical Black Colleges, if you will. What I didn’t know was that they had a parade every year. So when I got down there yesterday to…
