"Employees must smile if less than 10 feet from a customer."

40 years ago today, it was nobody's birthday according to Bob Weir. But I was on the rail in front of Phil, so it was all good. youtu.be/UKEuQuVXYWQ?...

Acquisition risk = Fraud risk.

I can get behind this.

I am in favor of this.

On point op-ed about my town: A quirky Takoma Park needs quirky zoning: ggwash.org/view/101317/...

Terrorists have taken over a building. You get to select one song to blast from speakers on a continuous loop to try to get them to surrender. Copy and quote-post with the name of the song. I choose: "Hurdy Gurdy Man” by the Butthole Surfers

One of my favorite Donna moments - starting about 6 minutes in: 3 minutes of Jerry's guitar conversating with Donna. Sublime. youtu.be/3QlxSBquv5s?...

Donna Godchaux, now forever a Grateful Dead. 😢

Kimock and Casady.

My Saturday night.

Getting ready.

This was a bona fide keg party. I helped unload the JEMP truck at this show! Woot!

Other than “Feed the Tree,” this was the only other song I remembered was in Belly’s repertoire - one of the great Hendrix covers: youtu.be/1prBt0-A1_w?...

I made a last minute decision to go catch Belly last night. It was a good decision.

This morning's impulse purchase: a ticket to see Belly at the 9:30 tonight. Early show, perfect for an alter kaker like me.

Last time Toronto won the WS I was a professional ski technician in Colorado 🤣

Freedom Hall, 1974: “It’s a Sin Jam” sounds like someone was listening to Roy Buchanan.

Toronzo Cannon, testifying at the 35th DC Blues Festival this afternoon.

Robert Lighthouse, picking a few at the DC Blues Festival this afternoon.

Apparently there’s a new CBP document check for US citizens returning to the US from Europe. Before boarding his flight early this morning in Frankfurt, my son was specifically asked whether he was a journalist or a lawyer. He has Global Entry too, but that didn’t matter.

No relation.

This makes me very sad. Had a summer job at NPR in 1996. Once got on the elevator with her and she immediately introduced herself "you look new around here." Very warm and kind.

Not about to turn my skeetfeed into rants about (gestures around the room), but this find was too good to pass up.

Really digging on the band Blood Lemon. The incredible Melanie Radford of Built to Spill plays bass and sings. youtu.be/vNDUlLRWPHA?...

Spent way too much money for a single ticket. Can't take it with you.

Time to go to work in an office for the first time in like 8 years.😁

The new Rush drummer: youtu.be/fpvNkRrxYQc?...

2026 Rush tour!!

On a quick little getaway to Santa Fe with my wife. Bonus to find out Built to Spill was playing an outdoor beer garden gig outside of town!

Generals gathered in their masses, listening to two dumb asses

David Freakin’ Byrne!

Happy Birthday to Koko Taylor, born on this day in 1928. Pictured performing at the 1992 Breckenridge Blues Festival, Breckenridge, Co.

I have taken cover due to an incoming volley of heirloom tomatoes

Matt Kelly is arguably the best blues guitarist currently working the DC Metro-Baltimore area. With Big Boy Little Band tonight.

These guys make it look so easy. Preposterous music. youtu.be/cXaE30kERh0?...

Huge discrepancy between the capital expenditure and the ROI, so far. hbr.org/2025/09/ai-g...

If you see this post a concert picture you took

I heard this in Ian McKellen’s voice.

Tomorrow. youtu.be/pV-_GDveft8?...

Now THAT is a band. Take my money.

Saw Geordie Greep last night. Holy sheepshit that band rips.

Best Movie Soundtrack? Dead Man

Nice video clip of Burning Spear last night at Wolf Trap. Mr. Rodney was in fine energetic form.
