Go CAPS! (And Cute Video of The Day)

The weekend was nice and relaxing, and I got to watch my Capitals win three in a row! Undefeated baby! This hasn’t happened in a long time to start the season. Before the lockout, actually. The team is playing well, looking like they have some chemistry, and playing with some tenacity and grit. Loving it so far. If this keeps up, it will be an awesome season. I don’t have high hopes for going far into the playoffs, but I think the Caps will be in the running up to at least that point.

If this doesn’t make you smile, then you are dead inside.

Come see me this Wednesday!

As I just mentioned over on my music-only/promo blog, I’m playing at Beyond in Dupont this Wednesday night at 8.

For those following me on Twitter or subbed to both website feeds, I apologize for the double notification. I’m working on a good way to prevent that. In the mean time, you’ll usually get an update here if there is something important over there.

Hockey!

The 2007-2008 NHL Season starts for the Capitals on October 5! I can’t wait.

Here’s a blurb from a DCist Interview with Capitals owner Ted Leonsis:

DCist: What are your goals for this hockey season?

TL: My goals for this coming season are simple: have the team go on a steep incline of improvement, qualify for the playoffs, then see what happens once we get there. The rebuild is over. We will always seek to improve. We will have more young players fighting for roster spots, but we now have enough depth–a good mix of young stars and veteran players and good chemistry and coaching. We should up the bar now on our expectations. “If not now, when? If not us, who?”

It’s awesome to be hearing “The rebuild is over” — seems like the Capitals have been on a 5-year rebuilding plan for about a decade.

I took a few pics with my cameraphone before it got dark and we had to head back. Snagged a couple mementos, too.
