I was already planning to hit up Boulder Beer Co, Oskar Blues' tasting room, Left Hand, and New Belgium for tours. Definitely wanted to try Wynkoop too.

Re: DBT's Live Shows with and without Jason

I agree with the assessment that they are tighter now then they were with Jason, not by a whole heck of a lot though. Isabell had so many great tunes and his song writing style was so different then Hood and Cooley's. It was always nice to hear those nuggets thrown into a show and really added more ...

Re: MLB 2010

Apparently the Cubs have just acquired Matt Garza from the Rays. Good move and I think he will be really successful pitching in the much weaker National League Central. I hate giving up David Archer. That guys is going to be a stud. The Korean kid Lee will be good as well, but will always be playing...

If any of the Chicago crowd has late flights on Sunday or is flying on Monday like I am I found a bar in Midtown named Charlie G's 11th Street Pub, which has a Chicago Bears fan community to watch all of the games. So that is where I plan to be at.

Re: NFL 2010

So it looks like the Bears will be playing on Sunday at noon. So I'm going to have to wake up early on Sunday to get in front of a tv at a bar in Atlanta.

For the Falcons, they will be playing at 8 Eastern time. So that will lead right up to DBT's preformance at the 40 Watt.

So are all of you guys gonna whine about the setlists again this year? I'd be expecting a heaping helping of GGB. They have a large catalog to pull from and three nights to do so. They are best when they take advantage of that and it feels more spontaneous and true. I'd hope for something different...
