Alison's Away Message, #6

"it's funny to see the mexicans with their little american flags going to see the fireworks... like it was THEIR independence... stupid heads."

Happy July 4th!

I Get It Now

So, I've been fretting just a little that I'm starting to approach the big 3-0 and I don't appear to be on the marriage track. But now I understand why:



It's all so clear now!

STP! STP! STP!

Ari's getting married in two months, and he and I did a bachelor tour this weekend... We saw Stone Temple Pilots at two festivals, the first on Saturday night in downtown Kansas City and the second on the outskirts of St. Louis. The shows were great, and we had a good time. STP is clearly back in form and enjoying themselves after nearly six years apart.

Scott Weiland was clearly going for a Jack-Nicholson-as-the-Joker look...

Scott Weiland as the Joker

They played the same setlist twice:

  • Big Empty
  • Wicked Garden
  • Big Bang Baby
  • Vasoline
  • Lady Picture Show
  • Lounge Fly
  • Crackerman
  • Sour Girl
  • Creep
  • Plush
  • Interstate Love Song
  • Coma
  • Down
  • Sin
  • Some jam I didn't recognize that sounded like a James Brown tune
  • Sex Type Thing
  • Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart
  • Dead & Bloated


Good setlist, but no real surprises. Greatest hits, basically.

Taking a Break

Now that we have our nominees, I'm going to take a month off from politics online and in real life to get a bit of a breather. I'm hoping that by the time I start following again, Obama is up 10 points.

Fingers crossed...

Zohan

Saw it tonight in St. Louis (part of Ari's bachelor thingie)... not as bad as I thought. Some genuinely funny moments, to be sure.

My question is, if I didn't have a Jewish background, would I have understood 75% of the humor?
