Do a right-click|Properties on my pic...

I'm a bit biased.

Bren R.

And you're also quite the photographer.

Ahh, but Peter... it's documentary style... I freeze a small slice of life...

Unlike those Wild Kingdom b*****ds who used to set up and choreograph the wildebeast being eaten scenes.

Bren R.

I wasn't criticizing. I like the pic. And I didn't know about the staged "sacrifices".

You ever see the outtake from that show when Marlon Perkins stepped off into deep water with a python wrapped around him and came up fighting for his life? Funniest moment on TV until Most Extreme Elimination.

Oh my. That takes me back to childhood Sunday afternoons.... Mutual of Omaha is People.... You can count on when the going's rough.

Hey Bren
have you had a chance to check out Inward Eye yet? They've been yapping about them on 97 for weeks now (of course they never seem to play anything by them). Wheeler said yesterday if they're not the biggest band in Canada in 5 years he was going to quit. Not sure if they'll be that successful, but everyone insists they're going a long way.

Last night I saw Josh Ritter live at Cafe du Nord, a small intimate club in San Francisco. He was absolutely amazing! I highly encourage everyone to give him a listen.

Did I mention that his albums sound great on Axioms?

Cool. Haven't been to Cafe Du Nord but I'm definitely a fan of the smaller venue. (Perhaps because of old age?) I like seeing Julia Fordham at Bimbo's and have seen Everthing but the Girl (before they got all techno) at Slim's. You can definitely get a better sense of the artist's ability in those types of places.

So true. In a small venue, there's nowhere to hide.

I'm going to avoid large venues for the most part from now on. The Ritter concert only set me back $8 and was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Josh Ritter and the other 3 members of his band were mingling with the crowd before the show and during the opening act. You got the sense that the band was a bunch of real people having the time of their lives.

Compare that to spending $50, $60, or even $75 on an arena concert for the privilege trying to listen to the show while drunken a-holes smash the crap out of each other in mosh pits... Then again, some girls like to flash their boobs while sitting atop their boyfriend's shoulders at these concerts...
