Alright, so I've set aside Saturday Friday as a WGOM night (or day/night, if people are up for it) and Sunday Saturday as a Casa de Leche day. There's a ton of overlap, so anytime that works for people to meet is great. I'd like to come out of today knowing where stuff is happening...just get me a place with Surly on tap, a large house, or a hotel meeting room where nobody cares how loud we are, within reason.
i feel my enjoyment of these kids would be further enhanced by foreign chemicals. that said, they're still good times.

these guys aren't exactly innovators, but i like the result of everything they throw in the blender.

Loading... Every day that goes by where Derek Fisher hasn't signed with a team makes me nervous that the Wolves will sign him.
If Neko Case revolted to her country upbringing in high school and started listening to punk rock she might have come out something like this.

Pek is out. SCB is in. Tyreke Evans is out.
If the Wolves want to make a run this is as good a place as any to start.

Hi Bithorn was the first Puerto Rican to play in the major leagues, making his first appearance for the Cubs in 1942.
Author George Plimpton introduced the world to Sidd Finch in 1985.
Country singer Charley Pride pitched in the minor leagues for parts of three seasons from 1953-1960. He also played in the Negro Leagues for a couple of seasons as those leagues were nearing the end of their existence.
