			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I went to see <a href="http://txrollergirls.com/">Texas Rollergirls</a> last night with my friend Allan who was visiting from out of town.  It was a great show- I highly recommend going to see it if you get the chance.  I don&#8217;t consider myself a sports fan and I had a great time.  </p>
<p>I also found out my friend Tony&#8217;s wife&#8217;s sister is <a href="http://txrollergirls.com/hotrodhoneys/misofresh.htm">Miso fresh</a>.  I&#8217;ve met her before several times (at parties at my place even) but I had no idea she was one of the <a href="http://txrollergirls.com/hotrodhoneys/index.htm">Hotrod Honeys</a>.  </p>
<p>THEN I was talking to <a href="http://www.eastsideshed.com/">Guy</a> <i>today</i> over IM about it, and found out he&#8217;s a friggin referee.  </p>
<p>I am surrounded by Rollerderbishness and I didn&#8217;t even know it.</p>

<p>A homeless shelter, a liquor store and a police station, all within a block of eachother.  I was walking back to my car after getting my SXSWi badge, thinking about design and usability, and what a great example to pass on the way.  They must have been thinking ahead when they put these three services in such close vicinity to eachother.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think GMaps has rendered the shortest path between these points though, and that reminds me:  Google Maps ain&#8217;t so great for walking directions- the direction of traffic doesn&#8217;t matter so the stumbling drunk doesn&#8217;t need to make that many turns.  </p>
<p>Hm.  Maybe GMaps took the particular destinations into account, and drew the most common series of turns taken by those who go from homeless shelter to liquor store to jail.  </p>
