Check Your Radiohead

Went to the Radiohead show on Wednesday night and thought it was quite good. I must admit I'm only a casual Radiohead fan, but I think I should try out some of their later albums that no one likes, caus I would probably be into it. I like the space sounds and it doesn't bother me to have a song where they repeat the same lyric 46 times! Our seats for the show were incredible. Right in the front just to the side of the standing room area. I honestly think if someone let you loose in the Tweeter Center and said pick any seat, you probably would have been right next to me.

Lots of quality parking lot time before the ride home. I was stoked when Nicole popped in Blood on the Tracks as we finally started moving. Haven't listened to that in a while, but it's such a good album! Especially good at 2:00 am after a loud show as you're cruisin' down the empty highway. If you only get one Bob Dylan album skip the greatest hits and go straight to Blood on the Tracks!

Gary Coleman for Governor

A lot of people think it's funny that Gary Coleman would run for governer. That's probably because they only remember him as Arnold from Different Strokes. The informed voter however, will realize that Coleman also played Hieronymous Fox (an 11 year old genius / President of the planet Genesia ) on an episode of Buck Rogers. It seems to me like governor of California would be a pretty easy job for someone who has been the president of an entire planet!

Ahlgrens and Enlows... Oh My

This past long weekend I had the unique opportunity to hang out with a couple different sets of siblings. First on Thursday I went to the Black Eyed Peas concert at the paradise with Luke, his brother Matt, and sister Katie. I was driving over to the show with all the Enlows in my car and Luke spinning some tunes on his portable MP3 setup (honda sterio still stolen). Well the Enlows were all gettin' down to the music in their own little way. Singing lyrics, humming, bee boopin', and drummin along (If you know the Enlows you know what I'm talkin' about). The funny part was that I was just thinking to myself how it was funny that all the Enlows couldn't help makin noise as they listened to the music, when Luke must have noticed the same thing and asked, "What's it like hanging out with 3 Enlows?" An interesting experience for sure, but always counted as good times.

On Sat. I got hooked up with sweet sox tickets (Thanks Jim!) and went to the game with my friend Ben. Another friend Nate, who was visiting from Seattle, was also in the stadium with his bro (Stephan) and sis(Ingrid). The Ahlgrens had standing room tickets, but were playing the seat hoping game. No one was sitting in the seats next to me by the 3rd inning, so I was just about to call Nate when I see all the Ahlgrens coming up the aisle. Well they got to sit w/ us for the rest of the game and afterwards we went walking all over Boston. The Ahlgrens are good people and I thoroughly enjoyed hangin' out.
