Hipsters = Bad Vision?
As a former citizen of the Republic, aka Cambridge, MA, I couldn’t help but notice that hipsters always wear thick black framed glasses. Are we to believe that all hipsters have terrible vision or do they really think that those frames are fashionable? Continue Reading »

I Pry the Nightlife, Baby: Wilco & Neil Young
Wilco/Neil Young
DCU Center, Worcester
December 13, 2008
Cast of Characters: Middle aged couples, Parent/children duos, Packs of seriously intoxicated 30-something-year-old men
Popular Drinks: I couldn’t find anything other than Miller Lite for purchase at the DCU Center, but recommend drinking 22 oz. “Blockbuster” beers at the 99 Restaurant beforehand
Amenities: Feedback solos
Suggested accessories: plaid flannel shirt
My dad and I go see Neil Young together whenever he comes to town, a tradition that started with my mom’s refusal to sit through a concert whose art direction is asserted through feedback solos. Very impressed by the Wilco/Neil co-bill, not so impressed by the price or its location in the Worcester Cultural District, I bought a pair of tickets for us that doubled as my dad’s Christmas gift. After a couple of Blockbusters and turkey clubs at the 99 and much bonding with our neighbors at the bar, we jogged through icy winds to catch the Wilco set (apparently there was a deadly ice storm in Worcester earlier that day?). We somehow missed the first couple of songs, and at first, I could not confirm whether we were watching Wilco or the other opening band until Jeff Tweedy hit his first telling feedback jam, imitating in the best possible way the legend who’d be appearing onstage later. From the driving krautrock beat of Spiders to the poignant Jesus Inc. to songs that made them sound like a raucous bar band, Wilco played an energized set that had my neighbors asking me for the name of this “local band” and my dad asking if I could burn him some of their albums.

Pryers Club VIP Night
I would just like to personally thank our Live Nation lawyer for the VIP treatment at last nights Radiohead concert at “Great Woods”. Yes, I said it….Great Woods!!! And also thanks to Pryer San Diego, the Baron, and Lynell Huts Pryer for attending with me. I guess we all know what it takes to be a “funguy” now.

Purchasing vs. Leasing
In the business world people often say that purchasing items it a lot better financially then leasing. However in the world of relationships the exact opposite apply’s. Please review the example below, and if your still not convinced with my arguement then I wish you luck in the future.
