Spiraling up.

Miz A got one of these funky begonias at Campbell's, so of course I had to get one, too. You know me and my spirals.

Pete Watters called us yesterday to come hear Sarah Benck and the Robbers at The Zoo -- the place was dead and he's afraid she'll stop coming to town if people don't represent. Actually, by the time we got there, the crowd was good. But -- y'all! You have GOT to go see for yourselves how such a big voice and big sound can come out of such a badass, ponytailed little thing.

She's at Knickerbockers on June 8. Make a note of it. Then GO!!!

"Bunnies", anyone?

I know a certain Juggler who's eager to get a new gaming league together. It's a complicated sport, so read up on the rules of play first.

Currently reading: "The $64 Tomato: How One Man Nearly Lost His Sanity, Spent a Fortune, and Endured an Existential Crisis in the Quest for the Perfect Garden," William Alexander (thanks, Miz A!); "A Shuttle in the Crypt," Wole Soyinka (thanks, Miz C!)

Currently eating: Chipotle black bean hummus from Open Harvest. Oh, man, you gotta try this.

Currently drinking: Mothership Wit. Coriander and citrus in an ORGANIC, mass-produced wheat-beer. My snowboard-instructor cousin is moving from Vail to Fort Collins -- home of New Belgium -- this fall, so maybe I'll visit and get a tour!

Currently mourning: The imminent loss of Homer's downtown. It's all my fault for jumping on the digital bandwagon. The store out by Gateway is staying open ... but it's a matter of time, isn't it? I'll miss picking up something new based on proximity or cover art or Charlie Burton's advice.

Current theme song: "Real Friend," Sarah Benck and the Robbers
