  1. "We didn't come to stay, we came to PLAY, so let 'er ride!" - Bob Wills The Texas Playboys, in their many incarnations, are one of my top-5 favorite bands of all time. Attending Bob Wills Day is something I gotta do real real soon. I think the best incarnation was the group that did all of the Tiffany Transcriptions with Junior Barnard on guitar and Herb Remington on lap steel (much as I love Leon McAuliffe, Herbie and Junior kicked ass as a combo).
  2. Ebbets Field Flannels fucking ROCKS. And you gotta call them by their proper name... the Santurce Cangrejeros! I've got my Santurce #21 home jersey...
  3. Frankly that's less than I thought the price was gonna be... not that I can have my limo driver go pick it up for me or anything...
  4. wow, I really really thought he was gonna make it back... so sad. Rest in peace, Phantom.
  5. enjoy the birthday! GREAT day for it in NYC!!!
  6. Listening to Angels/Rangers on MLB radio, and "Iron Man" by Sabbath came on between innings at the Ballpark at Arlington... immediately thought of your signature, Bjorn.
  7. that was fun and yes, it was so great to hear that nat's sculptures are sprinkled throughout The Loft.
  8. That was mighty tasty. It truly was a garden of culinary delights. I hope that Jeff and Susan took their to-go plate 'cause that was some good eatin'!
  9. Jenny is immensely talented and an absolute sweetheart. My bass player plays with her and did the tour with her last summer. Now Jenny and I both get to miss him while he's on tour with Ingrid Michaelson this summer. My personal choice is Michael Brunnock out of NYC/Ireland... his voice gives me the absolute chills. http://www.myspace.com/michaelbrunnock
  10. Been staring at the keyboard for the last minute or so, hoping that it would just start typing on its own and stating what a great honor it is to be part of the sublime, raucous, grand and mighty fun that this weekend always is. Thanks, first and foremost, to Jeff and Susan for your staggering generosity; doing all of this and raising the incredible amount of money you raise for such a deserving charity. Thanks also, Jeff, for putting up with what seems like such a chaotic situation (pets sleeping and running around at your feet!) while being affable, self-effacing, friendly, hysterically fu
  11. 7 games = less than 5% of the season... Los Tigres will be more than just fine Mets defeat the Phils, so now all the maalox-popping stressed out Mets fans can f'ing RELAX (didn't see a cause for alarm personally) Mark Reynolds on the Diamondbacks looks like the real deal, and I really really hope Hermida can finally get 250 at-bats without a trip to the DL, he's gonna be a great one
  12. Bee Gees - To Love Somebody Beach Boys - Feel Flows or Don't Talk, Put Your Head on My Shoulder Kinks - Better Things or Days
  13. for anybody who might care to take a split second, I uploaded the version of our song "north" from the other night up to my myspace page... it's literally a split-second long. Ok, 4+ minutes...
  14. yes, and the "spring/summer blends" are about to come out, meaning even higher prices. What are they putting in the fucking spring/summer blend? Starbucks espresso? Gold flake?
  15. SNOW? Fuck that, I'm going to the Shakira living-room concert in Malibu instead.
  16. Just went over $3.00 for a gallon of regular in central NJ... for some reason I think we have the cheapest prices in the nation at the moment, but it's insane. Oil companies reporting record profits... DUH! They're fleecing us. What's the price by you, and have you done anything to curtail your fuel usage? I, unfortunately, live in an area where I have no choice but to drive significant distances every day.
  17. last-ever opening day at shea today... go mets
  18. that would be a great thread to start, one where folks can help each other along as far as exercise goes. Good luck!
