Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears – Sugarfoot

Caught them last Spring opening for Sharon Jones.  Rather than pay Ticketmaster fees, Sheenie offered to go to the State Theater box office forty-five minutes before tickets went on sale.  The staff made a big ordeal about how they didn't have time to sort through the system to get people tickets where they wanted (because the State had assigned seating), so to please just take whatever tickets you get (and they all cost the same).  Sheenie was handed two tickets in the orchestra pit.  We ended up being about three feet from the bari sax.  Great stuff.

Cake – The Distance

Apologies for the delay.  I did love the sword fight and watched it twice.

Anyway, I rode yesterday with this song in my head.  I also was wearing my old Fashion Nugget shirt and had someone approach me at one of the rest stops and ask if Satan was my motor.

game 58 recap: cubs @ twins

Tragedy struck in the ninth inning of yesterday's baseball game between the cubs and the twins. The potential was there for an epic three inning save, but apparenly a little thing called "letting a guy finish what he came into the seventh inning of" is a foreign concept to Twins management. I have but one question.

"Why do you hate joy, gardy?"

In better news, the bats got going yesterday. Plouffe has declared war on all opposing pitchers. Pretty much everyone seems to be hitting well lately.

Meanwhile, Scott Diamond's ERA is 1.61. Seriously. I know it's a flaawed stat and all, but that's pretty sweet.

Remodeled basement. Same half-baked taste.
