i went and saw yonder mountain string band last night at the showbox market, and it was definitely worth the $25. although not a devoted bluegrass fan, i would say that it has been my favorite show of the year thus far. the energy in the crowd was great and drinks + dancing make for a great time any night.
by the way, anyone else forget that today was the anniversary of the columbine shootings? thought so. an interesting article in the chronicle talked about how kids these days don't even know what columbine is.... mandatory searches and bullying programs are just thought to be the norm in schools now. can't believe it's already been 10 years and hopefully it never happens again.
anyone else read about the cia report that details how much waterboarding actually went on under w's watch? scary shit! forcing people to be nude, depriving people of sleep, holding them in dark small rooms? it's not just archaic and against the law, but it doesn't actually work either. and these men who argued for its legality are sick and should be put behind bars. terrorism is the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes... kinda like torturing prisoners?
on a lighter note, the ban comic sans movement is gaining momentum. THANK GOD. this font should never have been created, and shame on the microsoft software designer who created it. now you can buy pins and shirts with this logo. and comic sans is becoming "retro chic" according to the wall street journal because it's so goddamned cheesy.
ban comic sans... putting the sans back into comic sans
