  1. So there was this. And now there's this.

    I am genuinely thinking of trying to get to the Red Rocks show, since I've long wanted to see a concert in that venue too. In actual seriousness, would anyone 'round these parts be interested in such an event? It's possible there will be other dates closer, but... I kind of don't want to chance it.

    1. Red Rocks is so cool and definitely a place to see a band you love. RK not my cup of tea, but definitely try to pull it off if possible. Also, Red Rocks isn't going anywhere and you may find, like me, it's a lot easier to do events like that once the kids are older and/or out of the house.

          1. September 15! Make sure you dress warm, can get pretty chilly once the sun goes down. I learned that the hard way during an early May Isbell show at Red Rocks.

  2. Rock cats flashback: NBBW and I are sitting stuck in thick traffic on Route 9 on the way to a game in New Britain, and I'm surfing the AM dial in my Subaru Forester (best car for New England, IMO).

    I came across this Long Island NY station (WHLI 11am) which was playing The Italian House Party, a fun-filled program of Sinatra, Bennett, Darin, Franicis, Martin, et al. with birthday/anniversary annoucements, and adverts for plumbers, sheet-rock guys, caterers, etc. And Sicilian humor: So I'm in the kitchen with my buddy, and I'm making chicken, and handed my friend a gizzard. Then I held up another gizzard. I looked at him and asked, 'Know what we got here?" He looked at me quizzingly. I said, "A gizzadeach!"

      1. What the pirate said. Overheard at the bar, “I’m worried that my guests will complain because we’re charging 5k a night” for a midcity half shotgun.

        1. It’s smack in the middle of the central business district. There are a bunch of bars and restaurants in the area and a major grocery chain right there. Your air bnb is likely a high rise condo building with little to no character but you’ll have access to the Saint Charles streetcar line, easy walk to the quarter - though at night you have to walk through some sketchy parts of the cbd -but it’s doable. You coming to town? Hit me up with an email and I can offer some recs.
