San Fermin – Jackrabbit
Here's another band that's been through the Cities a couple times in the past year that I'd like to see but haven't gotten around to yet. I gotta move back up there, I'd probably go to a lot more shows.

May 18, 2016: Bottle Up And Explode
Mount St. Helens erupted 36 years ago today, just as many tiny earthquakes likely means it's refilling its chambers with magma as we speak. Don't worry, shouldn't be as bad next time.

Game 38: Twins at Tigers
Admit it. You had this one circled on your calendar for a while now didn’t you? Phil Hughes v. Mike Pelfrey. Sure they are a combined 1-10 but we all know wins and losses means nothing at the Major League Level. This is Hughesy versus Big Pelf. Former stable mates now going head-to-head for supremacy of the bottom of the AL Central. It doesn’t get any better than this and after yesterday’s epic yet failed comeback by the Twins, you just know it’s payback time. First pitch at 6:10p Central.
