I'll third the recommendation for Sprint.

OEM Express is also really good (and cheap).

An amazing time even though I was nearly crippled in Baltimore the week before. The joys of late night police car searches and no health insurance.

No problem. Glad you got a couple. They were actually sold out by 11.

Sean,

Guy Burwell just released an amazing Hold Steady poster for their July 27th show in Portland.

An edition of 90 and only $25.

Here's the link.

Go to this site and spend the next month reading.

I'll take the July 5th ticket if you haven't sold it yet.

The list looks good. How Luke Doucet and the White Falcon - Blood's Too Rich didn't make it is beyond me.

Happy birthday, Sean!

I'll be buying a ticket for certain, not sure if either of us can make it though...

Mark May 25th on your calendar - it's Towel Day!

I know. The first Hulk was horrible. I'm sure this one will be better but I have little faith it will live upto Iron Man or Spider Man 2.

I think the Hulk would be better suited for a movie like The Avengers where he isn't the focus.

Ang Lee's Hulk was disappointing but I have high hopes for Ed Norton as Bruce Banner. Hopefully more character development and less Hulk smash.

Look for an Avengers movie in 2011.

John Henry's are great. My favourite Ottawa band right now is probably The Reverb Syndicate.

The Tummies are OK but that Mung is a real bastard.

Micronauts >> Transformers

You forgot one:

Shogun Warriors >> Micronauts >>Transformers

Also, what about camping? Anyone ever camp out with their little ones at a festival (we're talking less than a year old although I'm curious as to any answers)? Currently for moe.down we're pondering going the hotel route but if I hear of lots of successful camping stories...

We took our daughter to Bonnaroo in 2002 when she was about 4 months old. We had no problems. Kept her well hydrated, shaded, ear plugs, etc. Also, my wife and I stayed sober for the weekend and crashed relatively early, basically making our daughter's comfort top priority. We spent more time taking care of the sunburned, spun out wooks camped next to us.

No children's area to speak of but there is plenty of green space on the festival grounds for them to run around particularly at the Black Sheep stage.

To the best of my recollection:

Eagles - Life in the Fast Lane

or

Beatles - Hey Jude

Happy birthday, Brad.

Can't wait for the show; just bought a big bottle of bourbon in preparation.

BradM, are you going to be taping?

Thanks for the post, Alabama. Great song. The new album has fully infected me, just like all the previous ones. Can't wait for the Montreal show.

Conan seemed to really dig it.

I recommend DVD Shrink

Edit to add: this is only for backing up DVD movies and probably not what you are looking for. I apologize for being useless and wasting your time.

carstairs, might you have space in your car for me? (velvet is not going)

No problem. Why no velvet?

is anyone going to the montreal show? never heard of that venue - good?

also i dunno how to do torrents...i'm an old fashioned album kinda girl. what should i get?

We're going to the Montreal show (and I'm working on bagochips as well).

As has been mentioned already, get The Dirty South first, followed by Southern Rock Opera, and explore from there. I'm not particularly sold on the new album yet but I haven't given it enough attention.

Peace Lizard and I hit up the Metropolis show in Montreal. Truly a phenomenal night of music. All 45's just like the Brainfreeze and Product Placement tours.
