Yes, you guessed it, Buffet was playing at the outdoor venue... So the funny part of the story is that the parking guys were guessing (probably pretty accurately) which concert people were coming in to see based on their appearance. We were pegged for Foo Fighters and I was relieved. Thank God I left my parrot at home...

Speaking of Buffett, got my tickets for one of his shows in Chicago this year and received in the envelope a voucher for free (with $6.50 fee) tickets to another show at the venue this summer that is having trouble selling... Just have to show up the day of the event and the tickets are mine. Feel sorry for the poor bastards who paid full price, on many levels...

Trying to decide who sucks the least of the following:

ZZTop (w/Nugent and Kenny Wayne Shepherd)
Poison (w/Vince Neil and Skid Row)
Boston
Journey (w/o Steve Perry), Sammy Hagar and .38 Special
REO, Styx (w/o Dennis DeYoung), Heart and Night Ranger

If I go to any of these, I'll have to dress up like the goofs who run on the field at Comiskey Park... Know where I can get a good mullet wig??

They do these little outdoor concerts (I missed the actual singing) a couple times a year - definitely not new, but perhaps more hyped. Remember - it's sweeps, the time of year when your local news covers such stories as "Local Girls Gone Wild," "Hooker Hangouts," and "How to save yourself from a shark attack of you accidentally drive off a pier".

Edited to add that Local Girls Gone Wild was an actual (extended) feature that appeared on last night's NBC news in Houston - I swear - where's Rob Johnson when you need a good "What to do when you're being eaten alive by pythons?" story?

The Today show is almost as bad. Matt Lauer is a nauseating sycophant who's just a little too pleased with himself for being a second rate celebrity who scored a model for a wife just before he lost his hair. Ann Curry wins the prize for being the second most obsequious person on the show, which is her lot in life, I think (being second, that is).

As for Katie -- she's vastly preferable to Diane ("When I squint, it's to remind you that I'm a serious journalist as well as a babe") Sawyer.

I can't help but like Al Roker, though. And Soledad O'Brien is very dignified whenever she subs, a true feat in those circumstances.

Right. They used to be brought to me (and you) by the Incredible, Edible Egg. Thank god I don't have to hear those "I love eggs!!!" ads anymore. Every week. All summer. Many Bad bands seeking publicity. A propos of nothing, Jewel is on SNL tomorrow as well.

This was the "meet the artist" segment they had before the actual performance. We met jewel in all her new hoochie glory (NTTATWTT), as I had on the web the night before.

Of course you don't want to leave, you pompous prick--no one would want to give up that kind of privileged existence.

I loved this series. They were saying how tragic all these loveless Edwardian marriages were--if I had to be married to such a clueless little twit I'd be begging him to nail someone else instead.

Loved, loved the inebriated chef berating Sir John at the servant's ball for being a fraud for refusing to eat Edwardian food or allow it to be served properly (thus negating the entire reason why that chef joined the show). And the butler was a true gentleman all the way.

I shouldn't tell you all this, but I saw Sammy Hagar last year (I don't like his music and I was at the concert mainly because of a friend who was on the tour with him, obviously this is kinda outable, so I will leave the explanation there). Although I've never been a fan, I will say that his tour has a very Buffetesque feel to it. He has Cabo Wabo fans who follow him around much like the Parrotheads and much of the music has a similar feel (other than that godawful I Can't Drive 65 song and his stupid circa 1980 plastic sunglasses, oh and did I mention the video showing him in the yellow/red jumpsuit?).

So if this set of tix is a Buffet bonus, you could use them on Hagar and continue the love...

Oh, and apropos of nothing, one would think that if one were the second best* French Canadian goalie in the NHL, one could find someone in Montreal other than one's sister in law to boink. But maybe she's really hot. I dunno.


*Well, maybe Marty is the best goalie period this season. Or maybe he's second to that French Canadian Giggy dude from Anaheim, not Patrick Roy as I think. Anyway, he may have questionable judgment, but may finally win the Vezina.

Well, I'm not a man, or at least I don't admit to being one, and the way I read the great hands thing is, "the better to grab your tits and ass with, my dear." Cheesemo.

He might try to explain it more innocently, as in "I give great massages." A great pickup line, that one is. Even more cheesemo.

Or he might not like performing oral sex and thinks that he makes up for it with one or both of his great hands. Not cheesemo, just stu.

It was a baked stuffed pig's head in all its graphic glory. They carried it out like a trophy and displayed it prominently on a sideboard for the family and guests, then Sir John was complaining repeatedly how disconcerting it was to have dinner staring back at you while he was eating its cheeks, which upset the butler very much as it implied he'd done something terribly wrong (in front of company no less) and that the faith and trust his master had in him was irrevocably damaged.

Only caught part of the last episode.

My favorite bit was when they were showing the movies, the Upstairs folks were sitting around politely ohing and ahing at themselves, while the downstairs folks were hooting it up and making fun of themselves.

The Upstairs folks were pretty pathetic. Raj-Singh very annoying, Sir John's wife saying that she was "meant to be an Edwardian", her sister losing it when she had to say good-bye to the horses. I bet they had a harder time adjusting back to reality then the Downstairs folks.

Huh. I guess the dude doesn't eat much fish - that tends to stare back at you, too. And, I think the comment implied that his guests were boring more than that the butler had misplaced his serving tray.
