'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh, what great pictures of what looks like a really fun party, Kat. I've been reading to catch up so I can wish Noah and Grace a very Happy Third Birthday, and lots of exciting adventures and discoveries ahead. They're beautiful and miraculous, and so are you.
More Birthday Felicitations to K-Bug and Son-of-Theresa! Adventures and Discoveries wished to them, too.
Javachick, I have a line on a good dim sum place in the East Bay. Actually a couple of places; the cheaper one is in Alameda, just on the other side of the Webster Tube.
My first concert? Styx, Paradise Theater tour. I think it was about 1980 or so. Tommy Shaw fell off the riser backwards and landed on his ass.
My best concert? Oooh, that's a tossup. Springsteen in Chicago in 1984 ("Born in the USA" tour); Indigo Girls in Boston in 1989; or The Waterboys in Boston in 1988 or so. I saw a TON of music those first few years out of college.
I've seen the Indigos more than 30 times. Obviously, I think they're awesome. Second to them in number of times is Shawn Colvin (about 20) and then Patty Griffin. Guess I do love the singer-songwriter chicas.

I remember you saying something about Webster St before. Let's go!
First concert - I kid you not - Black Oak Arkansas.
According to Yelp the best dim sum in SF is at this tiny Chinatown takeout Good Mong Kok.

I heard a great story by Jim Dickinson (famous Memphis musician and producer) about doing Black Oak's first album and the peril's of dentistry.
One of the best shows I ever saw was Steve Winwood at the smaller venue at Rutgers University, maybe 7,000 people. He opened the show with a grand piano and did "Low Spark," and it was just awesome.
My first Bruce concert (Born in the USA tour) was also really memorable.
I must say the Pork and Cabbage Bun, and Shrimp Dumpling with Chives looks gooooood.
Mmmm, Shrimp and chives.
I saw the Strokes at the Agora in Cleveland in 2002. $14 for tickets and they were awesome.
My first concert was Bryan Adams in 1984. Some of the best shows I've seen have been the Foo Fighters, The White Stripes, Willie Nelson and Third Eye Blind.

East Ocean? Of the num. Last time I came out there, that was our first stop after K-Bug picked me up at the airport.
I can't tell you guys how weird it is to be an adult and have people talking about anything cool on Webster Street in Alameda. I grew up a few blocks away, in the projects on Buena Vista. Surreal, I tell you.
