What's your excuse for a Friday night?
Midway Hawker replied to barney_rebel's topic in Random Samples
Same excuse, different Friday... Oh wait.. It's Saturday now.. never mind. -
Probably nothing new, but from the #1 natural health web site in the world: http://www.mercola.com/2006/jun/3/conventi...bout_autism.htm

What are you drinking right now?
Midway Hawker replied to Cygnalschick's topic in Food And Wine Aplenty
Samual Adams -
Sounds good to me! Although, I still drink a lot of water also, but I try to limit it to bottled spring water.. Hopefully, that has less shit in it.

I haven't had a Moosehead in a long time. Right now, Rite Aid has it for $8.99 a 12er.. Seems like the right time to try it again!

QUOTE (1-0-0-1-0-0-1 @ May 30 2006, 08:23 PM) I'm one of the few people that actually LIKED Statistics. Numbers you can use! Actually, I got an "A" in that also... I loved Satistics (spoken as David Letterman)...

I learned about the fibonacci numbers in college, along with a lot of other really really exciting stuff that I would never use for the rest of my life... Like perfect numbers (6, 28, etc..), real numbers (I took a "real number" analysis class) imaginary numbers (number that don't really exist, but they do) and number theory (now that was a great class, I got an "A"!!) Man I was a geek.. Actually, not a lot has changed!

Saw Da Vinci code today. It was just like the book except for just a few modifications. Of course they left out a lot of stuff. Still, it was 2 1/2 hours. I liked it. It wasn't great, but a very good movie. Regardless of how you feel about the history and/or religious overtones of the story, if you just try and enjoy it as a fun fictional story it was very fun to watch.

I just finished the book, so I'm going to see Da Vinci code tomorrow.

Coors Light It's hot and I needed something I could pound like water! -
I don't read. Really, I don't.. But I started reading the Da Vinci code on Monday and I can't put it down. Hopefully I can finish it by Sunday as I want to see the movie. I got the new version that has 160 full glossy color pictures. It's cool.

QUOTE (tangdog @ May 16 2006, 05:41 PM) QUOTE (Midway Hawker @ May 16 2006, 06:51 PM) I went to Eric Johnson/Joe Satriani on Friday night in Reno. The Reno Hilton theater was NOT a great place to see a show. All booths and tables unless you got a "pit" ticket where they had regular chairs. We were in a booth. The sound was REALLY BAD! Eric Johnson was really bad. When I saw him back in '91 or '92, he was awesome! This show he didn't even play much of his own material. It just didn't sound good. And the songs he did play he improvised so much that they were almost not recognizable. Joe Satriani was pretty good. He's incredible with the sounds he can produce, but over-all his show was just ok. I enjoyed his old stuff better. 5 songs off of Surfing with the Alien.. Saturday night I saw Richard Jeni in the same theater.. He is F***ing HI-Larious! That was a great show. Also, I think I set my own personal record on Saturday for number of drinks consumed without getting sick. Thats suprising the EJ played poorly but I have read the same elsewhere. Some are blaming it on equipment?? I don't know but all the times I have seen EJ were unbelievable. I will also say his new disc Bloom is good, but not up to Ah via musicom standards. Yeah, when I saw him on Ah Via Musicom tour (twice) he played perfectly, hitting nearly every note flawlessly. This show he was sloppy, more freelancing.. I prefer for a musician to play it the way we know it. I don't mind improvising now and then, but this was really bad. He did play a Hendricks song which was Ok, and he closed with Cliffs of Dover, my favorite from him.. Just wasn't very good, I was disappointed. On a lighter note, he's about the best looking 50 year old dude I've ever seen!

Wow! I saw Yngwie 18 years ago.. Glad to see he's still going strong. Tomorrow night it's Satriani and Eric Johnson for me.. Getting my guitar fix on.

CP is my favorite Rush album since the mid 80's. I love the sound they captured. TFE is great also, but probably my second favorite for this time frame. CP has more "great" songs including some sleepers like Cold Fire and Everyday Glory at the end.

QUOTE (YYXanadu @ May 9 2006, 01:11 PM) What about the whole "Moving Pictures" thing? It had guys moving the pictures, the pictures were moving, and the people were "moved" by the pictures. Is it me, or do I not understand this thread? Not a lyric, but a nice observation none-the-less!
