Just to keep this thread going, and to reiterate I've seen some history in my 20+ games, my second game was in 1989. The lead off hitter hit a double on the first pitch, and apparently was spiked by the short stop. He didn't like it, and both benches cleared. You don't get to see brawls very often in baseball (even though it was more of a push pit). The only game of the last World Series I missed was the Sanchez start when he hit Utley. (I was at Treasure Island.) I later watched replays and was hugely disappointed when no one got hit.

You really need to work on defning the parameters of your internal monologue.

Looks like you are. Hopefully you'll learn to appreciate beer and start acting your age soon, sir.
Anyway, I'm going to guess Ween.

Hahahaha holy shit, amazing.
In case anyone was curious about Ben Gibbard:
Zach Rogue opened, and he did not play "Love's Lost Guarantee," which is the only Rogue Wave song I've ever found interesting.
Ben Gibbard opened with Steadier Footing. He then played the following songs but not in the following order: Cath, Grapevine Fires, Little Bribes, A Movie Script Ending, Blacking Out the Friction, I Was a Kaleidoscope, Soul Meets Body, Summer Skin, I Will Follow You into the Dark, Crooked Teeth, Title and Registration, The Sound of Settling, Passenger Seat, A Lack of Color, Photobooth, 405, and such great heights. I'm missing at least one, I think. He also covered a country song I did not recognize. Bob Mould came out and they did a song together; I did not know what it was, but it was good.
He closed with Brand New Colony.
Zooey Deschanel, apparently, was there; we speculated that she would get up on stage and sing with him. I was thrilled when she did not.
Next show I'm going to: Cave Singers/Triumph of Lethargy Skinned Alive to Death/Lia Ices.

You're welcome. I wrote a Note on it and accordingly know way more about how shitty the FCC is than I ever wanted to.

Thanks for the mental image of exhausted hipsters laying claims to ditches.

Even though the Second Circuit recently found the FCC's "fleeting expletives" policy unconstitutional, most networks are probably still operating a delay system for live broadcasts to avoid playing with fire and/or pissing off American families (by which I mean the 2,000 or so people who spam the FCC through the PTC and lead to all this bullshit in the first place).
Anyway, the reason we're not talking about it is because it was tame. I'm sure it shocked all the 80-year-olds in the audience, but it was hardly risque or worth talking about beyond "Wow, she really didn't plan anything for when she got up there, huh?" And that comment really goes toward her directionless meandering rather than a single utterance of the word "fuck."

It's a step above Life of the World to Come but not a big step. I don't like the path his songwriting has taken, but whatever -- I still have The Sunset Tree.

"Rising sophomores," we'd call them, less of a mouthful. There's an oral sex joke here but I didn't sleep much this weekend so I'll let someone else make it.

Really? You've been here a year, you have 1,000 posts. It seems like something you'd be used to by now. I, on the other hand, am surprised that what has been an overall legitimately interesting movie thread has been derailed by a movie for girls entering their sophomore year of high school.

One last note on the A's before their last 20 fans give up hope and watch in despair as the team moves to San Jose: When you all go see Moneyball later this year, keep an eye out for me. I play the role of "crowd member."

the temperatures at sasquatch last year made it not really necessary for showers. I dont remember ever getting sweaty or hot, and i was even in the front pit area for a good portion of the festival. it was like 65-70 with some occational light drizzle if i remember correctly. So how was your first ever Sasquatch?

It's actually the norm to leave your shoes at the campsite during Sasquatch.
