My favorite shows
Live at Folsom Prison January 13th, 2014 @ 10:01 am PST
One of my favorite albums — Johnny Cash’s Live at Folsom Prison — was released on this date in 1968. “You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have […]
Hootie November 7th, 2012 @ 9:54 pm PST
Somehow I never mentioned the fact that in late November of 2006, I attended a black-tie dinner 1 at — of all things — a furniture convention 2 in Scottsdale, Arizona, and — after all the sales awards had been … er … awarded — Hootie and the Blowfish performed. It was quite surreal, and […]

The event was conveniently simultaneous with the […]
James at Spaceland June 7th, 2008 @ 2:20 am PDT
Another awesome night in Los Angeles: After work on Friday, Tricia and I had dinner on the West side and then headed to the East side to catch a secret, surprise performance by James. The band played an excellent set to a sold-out crowd at Silver Lake‘s über-chic Club Spaceland. The show lasted a little […]
