It's still me

Sometimes it seems to me that part of the goal of this blog is to convince people who read it how smart I really am. The problem with that is that eventually we all come to the realization that no one is as smart as they'd like people to believe. Some are just better at faking it.

So here's a bit more about me. 18 years ago my friend Roger asked me if I wanted to go to a free concert in Seattle for this band called Pearl Jam at the time I said no because there was something going on at my college that night and I didn't want to venture to far outside of the bubble.

I lived in Seattle during the height of the grunge rock movement. But, I attended a Christian college that really isolated me from much of what was happening. This is probably one of the things in my life that I regret the most.

Three years ago Pearl Jam played a concert in San Diego. I bought a ridiculously expensive ticket off of Ebay and went to the show. Right after that concert I bought a membership to the Pearl Jam Fan Club (called the 10 Club) so that I would be guaranteed exclusive tickets when they came back into town.

I bought that membership on the day before my birthday in 2006. Since it's a yearly membership I just realized tonight I needed to renew it because my birthday is in a couple of days. So I am a loyal fan again and am part of the fan club. If they every come to Dallas I'm in.

Ha! Random coincidence - I just saw your twitter avatar on Mark Driscoll's twitter followers, and thought to myself, I think I went to college with a guy named Lars Rood...

You have a beautiful family!

By the way, I was Jen Anderson in college. I'm married now, with two kids.
