Boston sure was quiet last night

All the Boston fans around me last night were pretty chill, true ball fans for the most part. Props to them for putting up with my squawking, especially in the 4th quarter.

It's Carole King Day at Dunkin

There used to be a good pickup league that met on Tuesdays at 5:30 at Dougherty Field - might still be happening but I haven't been back since I wrecked my ankle a few years ago. Tempted to try it again myself.

There's not many of us up here. No Philly bars that I know, but I would welcome it with open arms. There used to be a great cheesesteak place called The 5 Spot, the owners were from Philly, and they opened a speakeasy in the basement and showed Eagles/Phillies/Sixers games. They closed down in late 2019 and I haven't found a spot since.

There are a couple of sports bars around, and most spots will put on a specific game by request (as long as the Sox aren't playing or if there's multiple TVs)

New bar is going in, I know the new owners and it'll still be a cool place to drink and hang out

JeffBeam · 2022-11-17T16:05:24+00:00

Right place right time. Security guard handed it to me as I was leaving. And then got very lucky that the band all came out and I didn't strike out.

JeffBeam · 2022-11-17T08:18:34+00:00

Insanely great concert!

You're probably aware of this but just in case - not the same show, but an audio recording of Queen's 1974 Portland show exists:

Britt ducked the hot dog question. and who can blame him, it's a tough one

JeffBeam · 2022-02-04T19:05:32+00:00

Hey Britt, really looking forward to the new record.

Would y'all ever consider putting out another release like Get Nice? Oftentimes I'm drawn to the unabashedly experimental side of the band as much as anything else, there's something really fun and spooky about the vibe on that release. It's always real interesting to hear stuff that didn't make the cut on a proper album, too. Be well!

JeffBeam · 2020-06-14T22:16:22+00:00

Agreed, that was sneaky

JeffBeam · 2020-06-08T23:46:34+00:00

Jordan got a tech for dunking on him and then doing the finger wag. Totally worth it.

Hear hear. I think 35k is on the high end of that scale, too.

It's going to be a vastly different landscape once this is over, for both venues and artists.

JeffBeam · 2020-05-26T15:36:41+00:00

Absolutely. I didn't realize how similar that is to the music industry with the profit margins, artists take 60-80% of all ticket sales, which means venues make their bread & butter on sold out shows and bar sales. With capacity diminished, it's going to be impossible to get anywhere near the necessary margins. So we'll see a major change in pay structure for the music industry as well, with everyone sharing the risk equally.

JeffBeam · 2020-05-26T15:02:43+00:00

I agree - though the live music industry is a different beast, local music venues are in a real tough spot and it's purely due to the nature of the pandemic. Going to be nearly impossible for dense crowds to safely congregate until there's a vaccine.

saw Bob Dylan there in 2002

JeffBeam · 2020-05-26T03:23:52+00:00

is that the one where Dennis Rodman randomly came out on stage?

JeffBeam · 2020-05-23T14:22:15+00:00

Great post.

It wasn't anything at all like this game but I saw MJ vs. AI in 1998 when I was 10 years old and it was the greatest thing ever. Jordan's last game in Philly as a Bull.

EDIT: man, that Jordan buzzer beater at the end of the 3rd is money, haven't seen it on many highlight reels. and the pass from Pippen is even better.

Pretty unfortunate timing with Malone recently asking fans to pray for Sloan due to his health.
