Radiohead rocks
We got a little break this weekend (whew!) with a trip to the old stomping grounds of Charlotte to see Radiohead kick some rock butt and have brunch for Mother’s Day. (Today is Mother’s Day.) While at the show, the other half was plowing through the sold-out crowd to find our friend, John, when he hears “Bruisin’ Ales! Bruisin’ Ales!” Wow. It might have been more appropriate to yell “Karma Police!” or something, but hey, we’re flattered. [Photostream: w.a.s.t.e./Jonny Greenwood]
It’s been some time since we’ve been to the amphitheater and could not believe the price of concessions. To go along with the outrageous food prices, try mustering the courage to spend $9 on a tall boy of Icehouse. Ugh. The alternative? Only $11 for draft of Leinenkugel’s Sunset Wheat, Newcastle Brown, Stella Artois, and some other stuff we had never even heard of.

Doodling on money
Found this on Boing Boing, which gave a good chuckle. JoeD! on flickr does characters of past presidents. We like Mr. Peanut Washington and Rainbow Bright Hamilton. Whole set.
Two movies we recommend
The Outdoorsmen: A wild scene of testerone and beer. A bunch of “responsible husbands, fathers, and co-workers” gather somewhere in the wilderness of Washington for just one weekend a year and partake in a self-stylized series of physically challenging events. All combined with beer. You must see to believe. Watch the trailer.
Buy the Ticket, Take the Ride: A(nother) retrospective and tribute to our favorite Gonzo, Hunter S. Thompson’s wild ride of a life. With commentary from family, and celebs like Bill Murray, Johnny Depp, Benecio del Toro, Sean Pean, as well as his long-time artist and friend, Ralph Steadman. Might be time to revisit The Rum Diary, which is also being made into a movie.
