I live in west Michigan and we are going to get our first winter storm today and it could be a real ass kicker

Lazaro, U DA MAN!

Gotta have a greazy shuffle on the Thanksgiving menu..

THAT IS A HELL OF A LOT OF POSTS !!

Enjoy! Sounds yummy!

Both links go to the Jon Stewart dog bit.. That was a great show! Loved it..

unless it catches fire or is terrorized. Lowest posted price in west Michigan is $3.04.. It's as high as $3.19

Happy Birthness!

Glad to know Zora is doing better.. Tell her 'Uncle Randy' says no running or standing on one leg

I broke my collarbone twice, once on each side.. My sympathy to Zora, you, and Alison! Hang in there bro..

I've uploaded tunes to my profile and they have been removed. Don't really understand how they track them..

Lazaro, Thanks for posting the Jazz datebook..

Oh really?? What if the guy is taking a break from his task of thievery and decides he has a craving for ice cream or found your liquor bar and wants to have a cocktail on the rocks..

The "Brief Safe" is an innovative diversion safe that can secure your cash, documents, and other small valuables from inquisitive eyes and thieving hands, both at home and when you're traveling. Items can be hidden right under their noses with these specially-designed briefs which contain a fly-accessed 4" x 10" secret compartment with Velcro closure and "special markings" on the lower rear portion. Leave the "Brief Safe" in plain view in your laundry basket or washing machine at home, or in your suitcase in a hotel room - even the most hardened burgler or most curious snoop will "skid" to a screeching halt as soon as they see them. (Wouldn't you?) Made in USA. One size. Color: white (and brown). To add realistic smell, check out "Doo Drops". * *source Uncle Skid should have been the one to post this...... That's just wacky.. Joe, this is such an unfortunate experience. Hopefully the cops will nab the lowlife. Problem is, even though doors and windows are locked, a determined thief will find a way to get in like breaking a window on the side of the house that faces away from neighbors and traffic .. Leaving a light on and installing motion sensitive floods might be a good idea.

Nice post Chris... I can certainly relate to the remark about some things being more valuable than money.. Which reminds me, I have to get off this computer and do some kayaking..

Though not classified as a jazz artist, Frank Zappa quoted Stravinsky on several recordings and live occasions..

TGE??

Philly Joe was the man! Saw him in Chicago in the late 70's at the Jazz Showcase. Strangest setting though was Philly Joe's appearance with Sun Ra! There's a video of him with Sun Ra on "The History Of Jazz Drummers" , vol II... Philly had some serious snare drum chops!

Caught Organissimo there a while back. Nice club. Got you penciled in for the 20th. We haven't played there since early November last year. As of now there are no Chicago gigs in sight..

Hey, I know somebody who has most if not all of the Ren & Stimpy episodes! I think I have them all on VCR, the 1st & 2nd season on DVD and the Lost Episodes (which are amazing) My ball! My ball! John Kricfalusi has a very interesting blog here. You got that right.. Ren & Stimpy was one of a kind! Rocky & Bullwinkle was also an unusual cartoon in it's day.. Used to love Fractured Fairy Tales and Sherman & Peabody..

Hey, I know somebody who has most if not all of the Ren & Stimpy episodes!

Great shots! I caught some of Brubeck's set knowing it would probably be the last chance to see him live and they were swingin'! I then hurried back to the Pyramid stage just in time to catch Jim & Gerard manning the organ.. That was indeed a kodak moment!

Chicago certainly has the aesthetic appeal. Grant Park is beautiful and you can safely walk around downtown, but again, the lineup typically pales in comparison to Detroit, where you don't want to walk the streets off Hart Plaza..

Detroit again blows away Chicago's line up! After doing both festivals last year my impression was that though Chicago's line up paled in comparison to Detroit's you could take a break from the festival and safely walk the Chicago streets nearby where there are plenty of great restaurants, pubs, and shops. I and many others took advantage of this perk after walking out on Charlie Hunter's monotonous set last year deciding instead to get a bite and a beer, and you just can't do that in Detroit.. The line up of talent at Detroit's festival however is so killin' no one really wants to leave Hart Plaza...
