I promise I won't update it very often. Again.
AB, JCT, SB and I went to the Pixies show in Camden NJ on Sunday December 5th. There were two openers, one who I don't know the name of, and Datsun. They were ok, more classic rock style I suppose. After enjoying my $7 beer, the Pixies came on.
For my birthday, my sister gave me 5lbs of orange Silly Putty. What do you do with it? What *don't* you do with it?
JC, MG & I visited the Henry Ford, which consists of several attractions. The Henry Ford Museum showcases American Industrial history, and the beginnings of the automative age. Greenfield Village was created by Henry Ford. He moved many historical buildings to the Village to preserve them for future generations. We saw sites such as the Wright Brothers' cycle shop, and Thomas Edison's laboratory.
The Philadelphia show was at the Theatre of the Living Arts on South Street (I was with AB, and KW).
The opener was Corn Mo, who we skipped, and only saw him play two songs. The show was great, and all the songs went off perfectly, as far as I can tell. TMBG played a new children's song, "Alphabet of Nations" which was really good. Songs from "The Spine" are better live, but that's true for msot bands and albums. The live Thunderbird was everything I'd hoped for...this is one of my favorite TMBG song
The guys at Perfect Wireless, Inc. gave us two tickets to go see the Brickyard 400 practice session on Saturday, August 7, 2004. JC bought a ticket at the front gate, and we headed to a room near the garage area. There was free food, and we were able to see the mechanics prepping the cars before practice began. After we ate we went to the track and watched some laps. One driver wrecked about 2 laps into it, which was pretty cool. Sometimes the cars would bump the outside wall when making their turns.
