In a flurry of happenings this weekend, I didn’t get a chance to post about Saturday. I finally saw the Indianapolis Zoo, which was quite enjoyable. Tim and I were there when the gates opened, so we had the run of the place. We encountered some quirky emus. One seemed to think that a map […]

Your Corp Just Melted My Brain
And this happened over and over and over again. From the bottom of the pack to Phantom, I enjoyed all of the shows. I loved Madison Scouts’ musical selection and really enjoyed Boston Crusader’s show, Neocosmos. I loved that the Blue Coats sustained the “On the Waterfront” theme throughout their show, The Knockout. There were […]
Apparently, the changes Phantom Regiment made to their show were well received by judges (and from all accounts, by the fans too). Current standings (bound to change) list the top 5 as: PR, Blue Devils, The Cavaliers, Carolina Crown and The Cadets. When thinking about posting this morning at the bus stop, I began to […]
For those who want a discount on books: I got an email from Borders this morning urging me to visit the newly revamped borders.com (they broke off from amazon awhile back). They’ve increased the graphics (it’s a broadband world), made use of bookshelf browse (same idea as LibraryThing only prettier), and put more of their […]

Sweet Endings
For the record, Carolina Crown’s 2008 show Finis looks and sounds like it will be amazing. Mom saw an article in the Herald Times (yes, the parent creatures are visiting, yay!) so we dropped by and watched ensemble last night at Bloomington High School South. We walked into the stands to Clair de Lune (which […]
How would you spend $9.07 at the iTunes store? I’ve gotten a few music suggestions from various people recently but I love options. Suggestions welcome. Thanks Mom and Dad, the iTunes card was well spent (almost). A Kohls card (also a birthday gift from the parent creatures) was also well spent this morning- plus a […]

I’m 2
Today marks the completion of two years’ work at IU Libraries. Go me. Time can be such a mind frag. Has anyone ever heard that a bird dumping on you is a sign of good luck? I’ve haven’t. Poor Libba! A vid of Eileen tearing it up- because it’s Friday and I feel like what […]
Happy birthday, Tower of Power. I was delighted to find some vids on YouTube of the band in its early days. For comparison:Knock Yourself Out, 1973. Check out Lenny’s suit!Knock Yourself Out, 2006. Featuring the original rhythm section (Garibaldi + Rocco + Chester) w/Santana. What is Hip?, 1973ish? White tails and limbs akimbo.What is Hip?, […]
I kid. On with the post! It’s been a hard month, culminating in a pretty draining week this week. I’ve barely seen Russell, who is either rehearsing for Woolf, in production meetings for Willy Wonka Jr., keeping up with Reva stuff, or working two part-time day jobs. Oh and Starrynight’s season needs to be beefed […]
