Day 3: The Samples, early 1990s at The Barn UC Riverside – Booked them to play the bar I worked at, my now-wife and I had so much fun that we followed them to Vegas the next day. They were big for a bit, and flamed out into varying resurrected iterations. Play an album from a band that has faded...

Who did you see?

The record challenge had me going through old ticket stubs. I had so many Wings tix in there, but these stood out. I have zero recollection of the Wings playing Team USA, much less that I went. The price on the 89-90 ticket is amazing. And March 26th 1997, well that sure was a fun one to attend.

Thanks for putting together March @imtheocean - I'm loving it already, it gave me a reason to find my old stubs. They were in like the 5th box I checked, not bad. Day 2: Chicago, November 1986 at Universal Amphitheater. This was during the very smooth Peter Cetera era Chicago, really went at...

I just got these this morning!

Book 6 - Poverty, by America - Matthew Desmond I'll be loaning this to others for sure.

Day 27 - No Brainer Day - Play something relaxing. The cover and the music for sure. This one gets a lot of spins.

Day 26 - Letter To An Elder Day - Play something that you think your parents or an older friend would enjoy. My step mom is a huge Leon Russell fan, so I'll go with this.

This one missed the mark. In fact I googled "underwear ad Mazzy Star" because I definitely didn't remember it was Diet Coke.

I can't remember the post, but I thought someone mentioned an alternative to Good Reads. Anyone know?

The more I hear the more I like...

I was wondering that too. My only experience with the concert was an old VHS tape way back, and nowadays some YouTube cuts. I think I need it.

Day 25 - National Billy Day - Play something with someone named Billy in the band. 🔥

Day 24 - Twin Peaks Day - Play a soundtrack from a TV show/movie, or something that relates to Twin Peaks.

As I Lay Dying is the only other Faulkner I've read, but it's been decades. Luckily my to-read list is so long that I can take some time deciding which of these to dive into.

I don't have a sous vide cooker, so I'm curious - do you use the sous vide to get it most of the way, then finish it in the smoker?
