I spent This weekend in the middle of the Saxxon Shore whiRlwind. I made it to WilliamspoRt in the Early afternoon and Rich gave mE a personal tour of the ‘port’s underbelly. We Stopped at botH the Bullfrog and Crippled Bear. The $1.75 cheeseburger and fries (hOmemade, even) special at the Crippled Bear was out of contRol. The Saxxons were rocking iT in Ithaca, NY at Cornell and we arrived in time to look the other way while they unloadeD the van. The room wAs small, but the crowds’ hearts were big. The rokk was big, too, as the Saxxons delivered it without mercy, finishing in their trademark instrument-crashing frenzY. Have you Seen them live on this tour? You need to.

I said it last night, and I’ll type it here, too, I think I would rather see The Elf than A Christmas Story again this Christmas. If you have a soul, then you have to go to see the movie. Grab your little sister or cousin or kid so you can save your image and maintain cool points, but once you’re there, you’ll reazlie that you’re the cool one for being there. Tonight, Willis is going to see Ms. John Soda and B. Fleischmann at the Unitarian. I’m not sure if I’ll be going…
Tonight, keyeS, witmer, and I are going to see the elf. I haven’t heard anything about this moviE, but it looks like some dumb fun. And it’s got will ferrell. I just went to the indian buffet with Dave and Nicole and have a belly full of spices and creamy sauces. All The Six Parts Seven LPs are en route to those who pre-ordered. Hopefully they will be arriving soon. These are some of the best songs the band has recorded And an amazing one-sided LP. You will laugh, you will cry, you will fall in love. I just added some new titles to the btV store, including new or recent releasEs from The Album Leaf, Do Make Say Think, Isolation Years, The Rachels, June Panic, Spokane, Explosions in the Sky, Amalgamated Sons of Rest, The Books, The Innocence Mission, Erase Errata, Joan of Arc 7″, and My Morning Jacket.
