What part of “Keep your kids behind the yellow line.” do these parents not get. Seriously!
Tammy is shocked that I’ve never heard of Goonies also. WTH.
Upgraded espresso art this morning at Urban Bean Coffee. That’s a macchiato!
Robyn Hitchcock at The Dakota
On Friday night we went to The Dakota to see Robyn Hitchcock. Tammy enjoyed his music a lot in high school and college. I knew of him, but didn’t know his music well. We ended up getting there at 6:40p and realizing the show started at 8:00p so we had plenty of time for dinner and drinks.
Richard Lloyd
Richard Lloyd opened up with a few songs on the guitar. I don’t know his work at all and it seemed like the kind of thing that you liked if you knew him and knew his music, but we didn’t and neither of us were very thrilled with it.
Robyn Hitchcock
Robyn Hitchcock was very good. He was funny in a completely nonsensical way. He went off on these stories that you had no idea where they were going. It was a fun show and he was a very good performer. Neither of us knew the songs very well, but that didn’t dampen the enjoyment at all.
New Standards at The Dakota
We returned to The Dakota last night after seeing Robyn Hitchcock the night before for The New Standards.
We’ve seen The New Standards play at the Dakota at least six times before, and every time it’s a treat. Last night we got to enjoy the show with our friends Kent and Marilee celebrating Kent’s birthday! That only made it even better. It was also great to hear that the new album is on the way, and by the sound of it the recording was done and it should be coming relatively soon. They seemed to be really on, playing extra well together and having a lot of fun. It was a great show. You really shouldn’t pass up the opportunity to see them, especially at The Dakota.
AT&T LTE Spotting
AT&T has announced that they are working to bring LTE to the Twin Cities market by the end of the year. Yesterday while driving by the River Center I saw LTE on my phone for the first time. I loaded a few web pages and it was very fast, pretty much WiFi like experience.
Back at the Dakota for The New Standards! Love their rendition of “After the Gold Rush”. Stout Gingerbread with Surly Bender Ice Cream! Ridiculously good. Hats off to the Dakota!
Delicious macchiato with Jim Bernard at Urban Bean Coffee.
