Bourdain is literally my man crush

dude is tall.

also- they had a parents lottery to sing karaoke with the house band. first "winner" was somebody's grandma, who had never heard of the cars (just what I needed) and opted out. next name pulled out of the hat was bourdain... but he opted out too. was wondering if he just didn't want the embarrassment on social media (even though it would have been great for the school).

 
Not looking forward to Trump rally at the inlaws on Thursday. Luckily I've established a champagne brunch tradition because I'm gonna need it.

Loved that one.  Basically my dream scenario is to eat noodles in Hanoi (not a euphemism) with those two guys.

His live at Monterey pop is earth shakingly good.

I like Wilson  pickett and Percy sledge better than Sam but more for style than ability. And never leave out Sylvester stone

For as early in my childhood I can remember, our family went to a Christmas Tree farm west of Dayton to cut our own tree.  We went every year, and although this place wasn't anything special, just a farm with a barn that had a single donkey and fire in the hearth, this seemed like a big event to me as a child.

I have been taking my own kids there for the past 8 or so years, ever since we moved to Cincinnati and my oldest was old enough to walk.  

I learned today that this will be the last year they will be open.  I know this is going to sound really really stupid, but I have never felt this sad about the closing of a place of business.

That's probably not the original donkey either.

Not stupid at all GB, you have a place that is linked to Christmas memories for as long as you can remember. Not at all to feel sad that you won't be able to continue to revisit those memories and create new ones. Traditions like that are very meaningful and I'm sorry that it will be ending. Is there another place similar that you can go to so it can continue in some semblance?

Make sure to take some pictures.  Find another tree farm next year - though it just won't be the same.  

The kids will look back on those tree farm times fondly.

thanks old friend.

does/did your kid play in bands? on the one hand, nyc living offers some great opportunities (getting to play in a pretty historic music club in front of a famous? chef tv guy). but because it's nyc, the kids so far don't have opportunity to just go hang at friends houses without it being a whole operation (can't just head out on their own yet without adult supervision). I'm wondering how/if/when floppinho will be able to get a real band going- his own thing, not something that's a class at a place like school of rock.

in music, learnin's for prodigies & weirdos. the band is the greatest human unit, cuz you can actively love & hate each other @ the same time and the gigs are supergreat because of that. dynamic tension is the god of creativity, so point 'pinho that way fo sho. drives it well - that he stayed w beat no matter what in this age where flash is all is a good sign.

li'lpissah's been in a band since age 15 (20 now) out in SDak/Min. They have been writing from the beginning but play mostly covers of good ol midwestern hard. They have a fb page but the fam all hate me since mom got married and i dont wanna give the name & have strangers poaching and making it worse.

ETA: and that stage! my ol pal Ellen useta jam after hours w Hendrix on that stage...

great the kid is still doing it... sorry the fam is filled with enough hate for you to feel it. 

it was our first time seeing the a performance, and while it was a lot of fun- handful of kids looked like they were living the moment, and for the rest it definitely had a bit of trained seals kind of thing going on. while I was watching the concern crept in over whether just learning how to play rock songs can help kids really learn about the music... tbh, it had the feel of my piano recitals growing up- just with different songs.

family we know from jr's old school (where creative types used to send their kids) oldest son sang a song... kid's 11ish, homeschooled and used to have some "issues"- add/autism-ish stuff- annoying but always entertaining kid. last night each group of kids played one song, and then the next group got up- banging out a lot of kids/songs. his group gets up there and he grabs the mic and starts talking to the audience "it's important I tell you I'm not really down with this song- I'm not feeling it at all... but sometimes- hey- that's life". he then went on and forgot/improvised large sections with lyrics like "I don't know what I'm singing, but here it is- I'm singing it" before calling out the guitar solo. he and his performance was the single truest bit of rock and roll in the entire night (he sang really well too, regardless of lyrics).

 
all humans should have piano lessons. songs and the funny - that's god, y'know? there's no charts for the funny, but there's math to music and you're an iijjitt if'n you can't read that truth...

bummer, man.  been going to the same place for trees since i was a little kid.  would be seriously bummed if that tradition ended.

 
My little sister's husband was struck by a car last week and passed away because if the injuries he sustained.  Seriously sick about it.  She lives on Kauai which sucks all that much more.  Compounding the problem is they have, had, next to nothing.  She was in court when he died because they were being evicted from the place they were staying at.  T&P's are appreciated. I've never met his parents but they don't have much either and can't even afford to attend the funeral, obviously also sucks.  There's a link to a gofundme link on my FB page to help pay for his hospital bill and funeral expenses.  I don't expect a donation but it's there if you want.  Sorry I haven't been around much but #### like this just seems to keep happening in my life and hate bringing the GMTAN down.  Love you guys.
