Best Gig Ever is AWESOME! It would be so easy to take it over into mocking, but no, they don't.
no Steph, you don't. I am barely doing my work, I wouldn't expect someone else to do it.
I'm not evil again. Why does everyone think that?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Best Gig Ever is a very cool concept.
We did our best to not be too over the top. I was very worried that GOP would think we were making fun of them, which was the last thing we were trying to do. I instructed everyone to just act like GOP was your favorite band, and behave accordingly.
Since we had all downloaded GOP's mp3's from their site, we actually did know all the words to five of their songs. We also knew the names of songs to request. After a few fans frantically called for "Shut-Ins", GOP delivered, playing the tune the very next song.
And apparently the band rose to the occasion and stepped up their energy to meet their new fans enthusiasm.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Best Gig Ever makes me kind of teary.

I do not have today off, and will likely work late.
Now I'm really, really hoping the sale of my house goes through.
I think you're OK Anne. A lot of this is investment stuiff, I really don't think that decent residential housing in decent neighborhoods in cities with high housing demand (you're in the DC-Baltimore area, right) are going to stagnate. Some of these half assed converted apartments/condos, (I am thinking in Cambridge and Somerville MA) maybe. I think if you're not in it for the quick buck, you don't have much to lose when and if this bubble burst.

The real trouble with the 35:1 cost:rent ratio is that if you want to keep the house, it won't be profitable till after the 30-year mortgage is paid off. Whereas, it's possible to buy a house, rent it, and have both the mortgage payment and the property taxes covered by rent, if you plan for the long term.
Okay, maybe only barely in the Boston area, but it has been possible and continues to be out in the smaller ring towns.

VH1 has a program about "The Most Awesomely Bad Love Songs EVER."
Every two or three songs, I think, "Oh, I love that song." I think it's mostly nostalgia. Maybe.

Okay, but then where do you live? I agree it's a nice investment income if you can do it, but you have to be in a place to plan to own two houses.
And I am immensely cheered by The Economist news.

Is "More Than Words" on the list, Dana? C'mon -- we need to know the details.

But are you qualified to satisfy him, the way he wants you to?
