Hope to see you there.
My plans for the weekend?
Middle Distance Runner early Saturday night at the Black Cat. Then on to see Sam Champion at DC9 shortly thereafter. I've heard a lot of good things about them so I'm excited to finally get to see them live.
Sunday night is Aberdeen City opening up for Rasputina at the 9:30 Club. Should be fun.
Why?
Wiley Wiggins on D & C; The Criterion Edition.
Argh! I wish I could have gone.
Obvs. Hurry hurry, one day left.
Let me go on the record right now.
Mavs in six.
Hope to see you there. It will be your last chance to see me before I spend a whole effing week snowboarding in Utah!
Busy today. Wrote some stuff for DCist. Back tomorrow with downloads and pics from tonight's Celtics v. Wizards game. Tune in tomorrow to see how the refs screw us out of this one.
This just in: Barry Bonds is a steroid user! Wow. I had NO IDEA!
**UPDATE** - I forgot...Dear 24: I take back all the bad things I said about you earlier this season!
So, hey, actual content today!
Friday night I decided to stay in and catch one of the few times the Celtics were on national TV, this time on the road (where we've won a whopping four games this season) against Philadelphia. Long story short, we lost in triple overtime after winning the game at least twice. My hatred for Doc Rivers and Mark Blount knows no bounds right now. There are rumours that Memphis wants to trade for Blount, and for gods sake, if it's true, Danny Ainge needs to get on that like yesterday. Oh wait, looks like he has. The Globe is reporting a Blount deal is imminent, either to Memphis for Lo Wright or Minnesota for the Kandi-man. I wouldn't be surprised if Marcus Banks is thrown in as a sweetner on this deal. Either of those teams could use him and that would open up a roster spot for Gerald Green. Mark Stein of ESPN said earlier today in a chat that the deal is being held up right now because another team is trying to get in on the action. Let's just say I'm about at the point that I'll fly up to Boston and help Blount pack. File all of this under...developing. Also worth noting, the C's host the Twolves tomorrow night.
Saturday I had my second class in my photography course in the morning and then I watched the 'Skins lose in Seattle, which delighted Ms. Smith, a former Seattleite. After winning six must-wins, I think the 'Skins were too beat up to go any further. Still, a good year all around. Later that night was, of course, the big one year anniversary of bluestate, which was tons o' fun, and not just because of all the Red Stripe I consumed. We had a great crowd of friends and party-goers, including some bloggers and local bands and at one point there were balloons and party hats everywhere. Best. Hard to believe we've been doing this for a year. Here are a few pictures, there are more over at Flickr and also on the bluestate site along with the setlists.
Sunday was spent recovering from the night before, eating sushi (crunchy yellowtail is heavenly) and watching the mighty Carolina Panthers lay waste to the Chicago Bears. Tell me Steve Smith isn't the best player in the NFL. We are so gonna win the Superbowl. It's worth noting that Jake Delhomme is 5-1 in the playoffs. And let me go ahead and tell you that while we will miss DeShaun Foster, I'm sure John Fox and company have plenty of faith in back-up Nick Goings. And so do I. Julius Peppers is listed as probable right now. I have a bet with Ms. Smith on who will win next week but we haven't come up with the terms of the wager yet. Oh yeah, and Jack is back! Four hours of Bauer. Which also means recaps from Chromewaves!
Apparently the new Morrissey album is all singles but no one is going to like it. The reviewer compares it to Southpaw Grammar, which, funny enough, I hated when it was originally released but has really grown on me lately. It has drum solos and a lot of other wackiness and wasn't easy to digest the first time around, but much like the Stone Roses second record, it has aged very well. Also, full UK tour dates are here.
New tour dates for Oasis but no shows on the East Coast yet. Hmmmmmm.
The National meets Bruce Springsteen BUT STILL HAVE NOT PLAYED WASHINGTON DC.
The White Stripes will appear on the Simpsons. Keifer Sutherland is also scheduled to make an appearance this season.
The next season of The Sopranos will be the last.
