Dave Mason Get Well
We were headed to see Dave Mason at BB King last night. (No links in this post.) I even Twittered about it, so it had to be official. 😉 We got to BB’s a few minutes after the door was supposed to open, and were quite surprised (pleased?) to see that there was […]

CSS Hack Added
When I upgraded to WordPress 2.5 I articulated a few UI problems on my site. Here’s the relevant section: The Sociable plugin is once again formatting the bullets in a block list, rather than inline. This can be fixed with my own css (as I’ve done in the past), but I have no […]

Tim O’Brien at Joe’s Pub
Last night we went to see Tim O’Brien perform at Joe’s Pub. Before I get to the show, I need to correct one (possible) mis-statement in yesterday’s long post about Kathy Mattea. Near the end of that post, I said the following: Kathy is playing at the Barns again tonight. Ironically, we’re headed […]

Kathy Mattea at Wolftrap
Last night we saw Kathy Mattea for the second time on her Coal tour (that’s the name of her new CD). The previous time was at Joe’s Pub on October 24th, 2007 covered in this post. We both thoroughly enjoyed that show, as you can see for yourself if you clicked on that […]

Girlyman Live CD Contest
Girlyman is my favorite band. There, I’ve said it, it’s official now. Of course, if you know me, or have visited this blog before, you’re probably laughing at the fact that there might be someone on earth who doesn’t know that yet. 😉 I love music in general, and tons of different bands […]

New Girlyman Live CD
I just wrote about an awesome show put on by Girlyman last night at Joe’s Pub. In that post, I mentioned that they have a new Live CD called Somewhere Different Now (Live). Because I have a bunch of things to say about that CD, and because I always ramble on, I decided […]

Girlyman at Joe’s Pub
The wait between Girlyman concerts wasn’t quite as challenging this time around. As I reported in this post, it had been 143 days between concerts until we saw them last Wednesday at the Barns at Wolftrap. This time, we only had to amuse ourselves for four days. How we came to see them […]

March 2008 Poker
March saw a radical change in my online poker playing. Heretofore, I was playing in a ton of tournaments, most of them qualifiers, many of the $1 qualifiers. When I would win a seat to move on to the bigger tournament, I would play that. When I wouldn’t, I would skip the bigger […]

Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus
We have a 10-year-old boy spending the weekend with us in NYC. I’ll share the details on that in tomorrow’s post about tonight’s Girlyman concert. 🙂 A few weeks ago, I walked over to Madison Square Garden and picked up three tickets to the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus. I was able […]

Welcome WordPress 2.5
My last post announced a physical move of this server. Before the server was shut down, I saw the announcement for WordPress 2.5 final. I installed it locally on my laptop, and saw that everything on my site worked, with the exception of the Popularity Contest plugin. I had the time to update […]
