The new House of Blues is opening up in Boston next month, where the Avalon and Axis clubs used to be. I’ll definitely miss the old clubs, they hosted a level of artist that won’t be able to book the new HOB. The good thing is that Boston has a good number of smaller capacity clubs like the Roxy or the Middle East that hopefully will pick up the slack, and the lineup for the opening month at the HOB is pretty sweet:

B.B. King, P Funk, Gypsy Kings, and The Disco Biscuits, along with the St. Patty’s day shows of the Dropkick Murphy’s.

I imagine things will slow down, but it’s great to have another pull for shows to come to Boston.

I tried adding this in a comment, but it didn’t like it.

Anyway good to see that the public infrastructure is prepared for the zombie apocalypse.

The last 10 episodes begin airing tonight on the SciFi channel at 10pm.  Pat Byrnes and I will be having a hot-line discussion not two minutes after the show ends if anyone wants to join in.  We discuss the episode, and all possible implications for future episodes.  Exciting stuff people, exciting stuff.

Anyone else listen to their one album?  If you haven’t listend to it, I think you should.  I’ve been rocking out to it agian, this week.  It seems like every year or so I listen to the album and remember how awesome it is.  If you were a fan of grunge back in the day, this a must listen to.  It’s basically a collaboration/super-group of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam.

It also got me thinking of what other super-groups/collaboration albums are out there that are great.  What do you guys know?

Hey guys, all of a sudden i want to open a fancy dress store. I don’t know how, and i don’t know when. Could any of you please point me to some info on opening a fancy dress store?

Yes, yes, I know the human brain tries to find patterns in whatever it experiences, but this is too weird. My friend wanted to go the library yesterday, which I always find enjoyable, so I agreed to accompany her there. She wanted to rent some movies, which apparently you can do now, so we browsed the movie section, and rented “Dr. Strangelove.”

She was finished, so I started wandering around the library. I didn’t pick up any books, just looking at covers and titles. Well, then I wandered off pretty far into a corner of the library where no one was, and some books caught my attention. It was the “How Things Work” series. There were maybe six books next to each other. I picked one at random. Then, I randomly opened the book…

When I opened the book, and I kid you not, there was a full page color picture of Trey Anastasio playing guitar! That library probably has three pictures of Trey in the entire library, and the ONE book I picked up opened randomly to a picture of Trey. How is that possible? Coincidence? How could I literally walk into a library, make one choice as to book and page, and it opens to Trey? Just think about the staggeringly low chance that would happen to ME, someone who loves Trey.

So I have to consider if it was coincidence. It must be, because otherwise some intelligence somehow orchestrated the entire universe so that I would open that book and that page at that time. And in that case, I have to view this as a message from a higher source. Is it a coincidence that Phish is about ten weeks from walking on stage for the first time in years? Was this a message telling me that I am supposed to go to the first Phish shows, because something will happen to me there?

Is this my field of dreams? “If you build it, he will come.” Well, how about, “If you go to Phish, something may happen to you there.”

If this isn’t a message, then what are the possible chances of me finding Trey’s picture in an ENTIRE LIBRARY on my FIRST TRY? Staggeringly low…

Alright so I don’t know enough to put this into a comment – so here is my submission to the favicon contest.

I figure the easy way for people to coordinate carpooling up to the Ice Fishing Trip is to have an open discussion, so please discuss here!

Josh- is the van going to be operational by the weekend of the trip?

I would like to draw your attention to one of today’s most hotly debated atrocities:

McCrappy has no favicon!

So, I think we should come up with one. You can create your own 16×16 pixel .ico file or use the favicon generator I found here.

I made this one while fooling around with that generator (note that I still have the .ico file, but imageshack won’t host those so this is a gif version):

curiously familiar geometry…

Oh noes!
