Dave Brubeck at the Radisson

I tuned for Dave Brubeck at the Radisson today. Probably my last chance to see him play live. I had fun hanging with the stage crew in the hotel room. Pizza and Gatorade! Vertical Drop on the television! Then I saw John Doolittle in the audience and I sat behind him for the show. He was with Buddy Harpham, who if you read my blog a lot you will remember leads a band that I play in sometimes and went to college with Dave Brubeck.

Somebody turned this off last night

and I'm going to find out who. I am really angry about this.

Outlaw art on the side of a warehouse

Longest driveway I've ever seen

Seriously, this driveway was over a mile long (they have a commercial vineyard).

An angel candleholder

In a customer's house. It reminds me of the Winged Victory of Samothrace, but with all the body parts.

Frank/Mamet

A scene with Anne Frank and her father in the style of David Mamet, performed by Adam Kempenaar and Matty Robinson, the hosts of the podcast "Filmspotting."

Zuckerman himself still labors in obscurity

My favorite cartoon of the year so far

Cartoon in a textbook

I'm going to have a cartoon in another psychology textbook. But this time I have a nice preview of the page, which you can see here.

At Tower Cafe, a poster of a castle in Crimea...

...high above the Crimea River.

(I'll cry a river for you.)

Espresso Metro's chalk square

The final version of the chalk square

This wristband gives me the right to drink beer

...in the Chalk It Up! beergarden.

My chalk square

This is Karen Jetter filling in some of the blue at the bottom of the Peace Corps square at Chalk It Up! I was lucky to pick a square that was in shade all day. The design worked well, my neighbors were great, I ran into several former Volunteers, the live music was beautiful.

Grand Island Mansion

I played a wedding at the Grand Island Mansion tonight. One of my favorite places to play, and the owners keep fixing it up more and more. It makes me think of Gatsby.

I love tuning at the UC Davis Co-op

...a hippie house where they raise bees, chickens, and cats. This is a vehicle parked nearby.

Song of Sereno

These music and lyrics are on the wall in the Sereno dormitory at UC Davis.

Painting hanging at the Sandwich Spot

Vacuum cleaners planning the revolution

Their vengeance will be swift and merciless.
