Holy. Bat. Dren. These shows are incredible. And as 'Betty Boards' you know the sound is astounding. The Red Rocks shows have been favorites of mine since. . .well, 1978. I think as a whole 1978 is an under-rated year. I've already nattered on about the Uptown Theatre Chicago 1978 shows so that's a given ( Read more... )

This year the date and the actual days of the week match up just as they were in 1977. That means that my first live shows Deadaversary are this coming Thursday and Friday May 12th and 13th. Friday the 13 days always hold a special place in my heart ( Read more... )

What if the names on some products were actually true? For example, 'Arctic Wind' printed on the desk sized fan I have at work....does anyone literally want an arctic wind blasting them to miniscule smithereens?

Just pondering on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

Last Spring I could have sworn there was a swan flying low over the traffuck on the way home from work one afternoon. And last week I heard that there are several swans that are living in a large pond down the street just off the main drag (such as the main drag is hereabouts). One of them was winging across the street the other day and looked just ( Read more... )

I do love the clarity that Bill Walton speaks with and about. Great interview although I would (of course) disagree with the writer's description of Must Have Been The Roses as a "minor classic ( Read more... )

Whilst on the phone with my sister B Friday evening I somehow ended up with my iPhone in the fridge. Let this be a lesson to me. . .too much multi tasking when organizing vitamins for the week is a bad thing ( Read more... )

First of all, I have a lamp shopping rule. Well, more of a representation of my lamp buying experience. 1) 98% of all lamps are hideously ugly. 2) 1.8% of all lamps are gorgeous. . .and also utterly out of my price range. 3) 0.02% of all lamps are lovely and within my price range ( Read more... )

Yesterday L and I stopped by the fabulous local cafe in order to grab a few treats before driving about an hour north. On an impulse I got one Maple Bacon Donut for L and me to share. Never even knew they had those there and now wish I still didn't. Because. . .well, holy bat dren that is some Taste Sensation ( Read more... )

OK, I understand that the little submenus on all of our computers have tasks and commands listed alphabetically. But seriously, it's just asking for trouble to have cut and copy right next to each other. Granted I haven't had any cut versus copy debacles, but I know enough people who had slippery mouses or shaky hands at just the wrong moment. Not ( Read more... )

Frequently I remember driving around the country in 1978. Today I'm recalling driving along the Bear Tooth highway whilst Pure Prairie League blasted from the car stereo. This would be in the days of tapes so we traveled with a giant stack of music that probably took up more room than anything else. I went to ridiculous lengths to protect the ( Read more... )
