I made it out to the first night of the Movies residency last week. Good show and I'm sure they'll only get better. Also saw Oasis in Vegas (but I wrote this before actually seeing them).

I vote Duke be forced to go to the KROQ christmas show so we get to read an angry review of it.
seconded!
sitting through that would require a lot of bourbon (and a designated driver).
and please don't forget that also playing at the sweater festival on dec 13th will be EDWARD SHARPE and the MAGNETIC ZEROS!!!!!
how about instead of bourbon before the show you ride the bull at Saddle Ranch Chop House, eat a rack of ribs at Tony roma's, drink 10 full throttle energy drinks, ride Jurrasic Park: The ride at Universal Studios with no hands, eat a giant bowl of mashed potatoes at Buca De Peppo, get rad on a dozen shrimp at Bubba Gump's Shrimp Company, get kicked out of the Rumba Room for rumbaing too hard, and play the giant guitar out front of Hard Rock Cafe? All by yourself. then we would have your greatest blog post ever.
