Chez

Bombino -- Nomad

^^ Yes. The coat check is across from the men's room.

Great show. Jeff was in fine spirits. Not sure why the guy standing in front of me felt the need to hold up his phone/camera and video every freakin' song (kids these days!); but the band sounded great and, as others have said, Camera was other-worldly. Can't wait to see what they play next Friday.

A friend called. His wife has to work late tonight. So I'm taking her ticket to see Wilco!!

I watched a fantastic documentary on Netflix called Muscle Shoals about the two iconic recording studios in the North Alabama town of the same name. I think it had previously run on Public Television, but I had not seen. Great stuff.

Test

Benjamin Booker's debut album. Awfully good.

KevinG: That will never happen!! I'm a White Sox season ticket holder.

I've been rooting for the Royals (their fans have suffered much longer than Giants' fans), but it will be hard for me to root against Jake Peavy tonight. Not sure I can!!

I'm jumping the gun by a day (I won't be at my computer tomorrow), but tomorrow I'm going to see The Drive-By Truckers. Can't hardly wait.

Once I noticed that guy in the front row wearing the Marlins gear (and he was hard to miss), I couldn't stop watching him!! He kind of ruined the broadcast for me -- especially when he turned his visor to the side.

Was fortunate to get tickets for the whole family to the 12/12 show!! Very psyched.

I love this band.

The Bluebird In Bloomington is a great little bar/venue that gets surprisingly good acts. Congrats on closing in on 50. I've been stuck on 48 (ND and SD ) for 7 years!
