For a far more interesting (albeit frightening and sorrowful) travelogue, follow this link, which I found courtesy of my friend Chris.
We barrel along into another chapter of the journey that would not end, and the travelogue that would not die. Part III Hacky-Sacks, Hoedowns, and the Perils of Piss-Poor Planning A decent night’s sleep and a lackluster continental breakfast at the Amerisuites in Cranberry Township (PA) got us back into …
Yesterday, Eleya and I saw Kill Bill Vol. 2 and loved every minute of it. As good as both this and Vol. 1 were, though, I think the entire thing would have been stronger in a single epic movie, albeit four hours long. I’m looking forward to seeing the inevitable …
More on our fascinating journey… Part II In Which We Have Some Pretty Darn Good Coffee After a good night’s sleep, we got back on the road for a quick drive (only about 3 hours) from Lancaster to Wexford, PA. Our gig the next evening was scheduled at a Starbucks, …

It’s a 3-disc humdinger with great extras: three separate commentary tracks, one with the director David Fincher, one with the cast, and one with the writer David Koepp being interviewed by …
I saw a fantastic singer/songwriter on Thursday night at IOTA. If you haven’t bought his new album “The Unstudied Sea,” you are missing out on one of the best written efforts I’ve ever heard. If Elliott Smith and Elvis Costello performed a horrible secret genetic experiment in the bowels of …
Show tonight at IOTA… are you coming?
