wayward son, please carry on.

Art Institute is a must see, though the Hopper painting is on loan to somewhere in Asia.

"Darby Hall" still holds a special place in my heart.

if you like burgers, beer, and metal - def do a stop at Kuma's Corner. place was awesome.

Behemoth, Wolves In The Throne Room, At The Gates.

cool. i don't know most of those acts, but Bong Wish is pretty good.

the 2018 Sox team is one of my favorite sports teams ever. such a great mix of talent, attitude, and camaraderie.

lowell? where was that show?

The Bevis Frond!

humble brag dept... Naomi sent me a fb friend request a few weeks ago.

what is your favorite Who song to sing?

he was an inspired choice at Psycho LV a couple of years ago. really fun.

yep, and Feast Of Wire the next one.
