Harmony ,'First Date'
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.
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.
the cheaper one is in Alameda, just on the other side of the Webster Tube.
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.
I've been meaning to get to East Ocean for dim sum. Had dinner there a couple of times, and it was divine.
But Johnny B Goode and the Dragon Palace are gone now. The only remnant is the tattoo place - oh man, can't remember the name of it - Ricky's?. Otherwise Webster has really grown up.
East Ocean, yes. I went there once about a year ago, and the cart was pulling up to the table before we even sat down. I got totally full for about $10. And it was great; far superior to the dim sum I had in NYC a few years back.
Java, it's a deal. ... dunno when, but yes, we should do it.
I'd say tomorrow except I'm headed out to see Lee and -t
Me too. I still remember that Sting wore a kimono for a shirt. And later on he was kind enough to take it off.
Oh, I remember when I saw Sting solo for the Dream of the Blue Turtles tour. Wife beater and parachute pants. Branford Marsalis on soprano sax and the dirtiest, sultriest most amazing version of "Roxanne" ever until "El Tango" came along in Moulin Rouge.
And I get to see him again soon. ::le sigh::
Chris Botti is probably the artist I've seen most often.
