Peter Sculthorpe RIP

Anyone else excited? "The Knick" stars Clive Owen as Dr. John Thackery, an ambitious surgeon who leads the staff at the Knickerbocker Hospital in New York in the early 1900s. http://youtu.be/r_xvw-_YJSo

About a week away. Anyone else?

Thanks you two. I may go with the U-haul. Mikey we have similar sized collections (if you remove one of the digits). Dusty congrats on the Dino Jr.

Speaking of moneys, anyone know cheaper (or better) options than the Container Store Supreme Crate for vinyl moving and possible storage? Google searches have resulted in mostly [pre-vinyl recovery-ish] dead links.

If anyone is looking for an Emo Stealth 6 (and can get their site to load), it's on sale. Stealth 6 was $549 each now $399.

Ah maybe take the McRoskey off the list. I agree on the sale wait recommendations, but I'll also add that spending crazy money on a mattress/box springs probably makes much more long term sense than almost everything else we discuss buying on this site, no? Restful sleep, a third of your life, and all that. Not as sexy as audio gear or a car, but c'mon it's a bed... [Marilyn Monroe not included]

Have a friend who bought and sent back several mattresses before settling on a Tempur-pedic. That said I went old school with a McRoskey and love it (and helped my back). If you're going to be in the Bay Area anytime soon you could test at the showroom (above their warehouse). http://youtu.be/tDKfGMPOyeU

Don't you have other things to worry about?

If only I could make Julie London less lonely. And next...

It just debuted yesterday at Michael Moore’s Traverse City Film Festival, but I couldn't find any plans beyond that. Could get picked up during, but if it's like his great Up Series it will be on TV in Britain and in limited run in US theaters (and then DVD & PBS airing). A little info here: http://insidemovies.ew.com/2014/07/31/michael-apted-talks-bending-the-light/

And now...

Just drink enough to counter-spin.

Bending the Light. Posting here instead of the trailers thread.

Sorry to hear Wayne. A toast tonight to Aunt June.
