White Trash Taco Soup
We hosted Soupy Sunday once again and everyone had a blast! Good company combined with puppet shows, live music, and soup makes for a great time. The first Soupy Sunday soup was totally random with everyone bringing at least one ingredient for the soup. This time around we decided on sticking more or less to ...
Soupy Sunday
A few days ago Keri and I had an idea inspired by our friend Melissa. She had told Keri about her college days and how on Sundays she and her friends would gather together to make soup and while the soup cooked they would perform a play. What a cool thing to do! We just ...
Andrew Bird: Live at Lupo’s
Last night Keri and I went to see Andrew Bird perform at Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel in downtown Providence. The videos here were taken by various people in the audience and I snagged them off youtube for your viewing pleasure! The concert was awesome. *note for facebook readers* If you can’t see the videos ...
Gogol Bordello!
Keri and I went to see these guys perform last night at Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel in downtown Providence. They are awesome! If you ever get a chance to see them perform go for it. Gypsy Punk is so much fun. The last gypsy punk show Keri and I saw was at Monterey Live where Fishtank ...
Me pot o gold is in New England
At about 11:30 tonight, just after Keri had mixed up a bunch of cricket dough, she says, “Doherty’s.” Woo! Game on! Keri treated us to a real late dinner at Doherty’s East Avenue Irish Pub where it just so happens Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and L.A. Lakers was up ...
Music
Now that the weather has warmed up around here I’ve been able to work up in the studio. So, a couple days ago I dusted off my drums and have started practicing again. Experimenting with some recordings too. I’ll be collaborating with my old bandmate Randy on some new songs of his. In addition to ...
Ahem ahem…
News on the Pawtucket front, I spent the day cleaning and working on web stuff. I’m looking forward to tomorrow when we hit the gym again and I’ll pick up another book to read at the library. Currently rereading Stephen King’s On Writing which is a memoir/writing how-to of sorts full of amusing anecdotes and ...
Monkey Chant
Here’s a live performance of Glenn Kotche’s Monkey Chant. For those of you who don’t know, Glenn Kotche is the drummer for the band Wilco. When he isn’t touring with the band he’s out opening for other bands and playing these crazy cool percussion pieces. Keri and I were fortunate enough to see him open ...
It’s friggin cold in here!
Ah! Nothing like coming home to a cold apartment! Jaysus! I’m reminded of a bit of dialogue from an old Cheers episode that went something like this… Sam (or was it Coach or Woody) says to Norm, “What’s up?” Norm says, “My nipples. It’s cold out there.”
I’m already cold from the 20 minute bike ride ...
