NEW Phish tour dates announced!!!

this is very exciting!! tim and i are trying the presale lottery for red rocks (CO) and the gorge (WA) shows at the beginning of august. everyone cross your fingers for us!! if we dont get any of those then hopefully we can get them when they go on sale to the public, but all our chances are slim. all we can do is try! there are 4 days between each of those runs so we're gonna drive around a bit out west and see some beautiful sights. which tickets we get will determine the course of our trip tho. we might get some, all, or none, you never know. here's all the info:

Happy St Patty's Day!!!

Oh what a weekend!! I've been in chicago to visit lindsay and see one of our favorite bands, Gaelic Storm, at the House of Blues for St Patty's Day. They are a REDICULOUS irish band and put on one of the funnest shows you could hope to see. A bluegrass band opened for them and came out durring their set to jam and it was amazing!! we danced til we were dead on our feet and our hands were numb from clapping in time so hard. Chicago goes all out for st patty's day, there were people all over the streets decked out in green from morning til night. when linds and i went to pick up food and drinks for the little afternoon party we threw we got caught up in a crowd of at least 30 kids all screaming and celebrating in the subway at noon! it was so funny! here are a few select pics, enjoy!

Videos from the Mothership... Phish, Hampton VA

Oh how I wish i was there.... this first video was posted by some lucky asshole who not only got into the show but scoped out a perfect spot on the floor, dead center. this was a general admission show despite being a venue that seats 13,000 or so. so needless to say i hate this guy. but for those of you who dont know phish this will give you a taste of what they are like.

Did you notice the giant blue orbs hanging above the audience in the video above? they changed color throughout the entire night as they pointed different lights at them (i know this from all the videos i have watched) and durring the song below we see they happen to be giant balloons! they had to be at least 8 or 10 ft in diameter, enormous. They dropped them over the audience durring Bouncing Round the Room and you'll see one even popped over Page (on keys) as he played! What a sight!

Phish Reunion TONIGHT!!!....


...and tomorrow night, and the next day. This is both a happy and sore spot for me as I am THRILLED that Phish are back together but I'm truely bitter that Tim and I missed out on tickets to thier reunion 3-night run at Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, VA. Why oh why did they have to choose a venue that only seats like 13,000??? Add to that the fact that they sold the tickets in 3-night packages and they unsurprisingly sold out in about 5 seconds. literally. At least we have tickets to some of their summer tour shows: we'll to see them at Deer Creek this summer (outside Indianapolis) and at Bonnaroo!! Ugg but I want to be there tonight! The scene must be amazing outside the Mothership as we speak. I am checking up on it thru the Phish blog I follow but all that's accomplishing is massive bouts of jealousy. Just think about the summer.... just think about the summer....

Britney... WTF







Britney Spears kicked off her new Circus tour and here are some snapshots I found on The Superficial today.... when they said "circus" they weren't kidding. I have a feeling her shows are more like giant broadway productions whipped up with slutty dancing and a pinch of lipsyncing. I wouldn't know, i've never been to one. Just had to share. At least she looks really good again!

St. Patty's Day is coming!!!

In just 9 days, for the second year in a row, I am going to visit Lindsay in Chicago for St. Patty's day! Well, St. Patty's day weekend since the actual holiday is on a tuesday. I cannot wait!! Gaelic Storm, a Celtic-Rock band we LOVE, will be playing at the House of Blues again. Have I ever mentioned how much I love Irish music?? Just give me songs about drinking, a fiddle, and a dude with an accent so thick you can barely understand him and I'm in heaven! I was first introduced to them at the Irish Fest in Columbus a couple summers ago (one of the best weekends of the summer!) and have been hooked ever since! Chicago really pulls out all the stops for St. Patty's Day, too. They dye the river green, there's a parade, and people decked out in green wigs, clothes, beads, and costumes crowd the streets. And when i say dye the river green, I mean bright neon radioactive green. Here's a few choice pics from last year, and I will be posting the new ones after I recover from the weekend :)







Colbert takes us back to 1997 LOL!

This will never get old... SO cool.
