  1. I hereby rescind my snarky remark and think I will attend. It's hard to do anything that directly supports HF but I don't have any problem supporting my boy JP.
  2. Last night I saw Sarah Jarosz at Slim's, a small club opened by Boz Scaggs. Claire and I met up with Shelly and her hubby Tim, and we had dinner during the two opening acts -- first one good, second bad. From the first notes played and sang, it was clear that Sarah is talented beyond her 20 years. We went down to the floor and got up close and enjoyed every moment. Her voice is even better live than on her two fine albums, and she played 6-string and 8-string guitar, 5-string banjo, and a mandolin beautifully. She was accompanied by a cello player who played it as a bass quite often, and a fiddle/mandolin player. They were both fine musicians as well. There were almost as many instrumental numbers as those with vocals, and even though I loved her voice the instrumentals were awesome (a word she used often in describing SF, her band mates, the crowd, and anything else she likes). Good stuff and highly recommended if you have a chance to her. I am sorry I didn't think to mention it to Ric, with his affinity for female vocalists, so next time she is in town (this was her first SF show) we should be there.
  3. Not to rub it in V, but
  4. Trial is [mostly] over! Had 3 shots of Jagermeister in the office with our trial team. Not my preferred celebratory beverage, but what the hell. At least someone was prepared and it was in the freezer so its medicinal tones were muted. I will be heading to the post-trial dinner for a brief appearance and then on to Slim's to meet Claire, Shelly, and her hubby to see Sarah Jarosz. Cheers ya'all!
  5. Are those giant G4 towers?
  6. Was there one in his sweater?!
  7. I feel empty inside.
  8. Just text me when the new Air is announced so I can buy one ASAP! Thank you.
  9. Happy belated b-day Vincent. Hope it was a good one! Cheers!
  10. Congrat diebenkorn! Congrat Ken!
  11. Baited breath.
  12. Peat and re-peat at Mikey's tonight!
  13. Going to see her next week on a double date with Shelly and our spouses. Should be good fun!
  14. I remember Plowed Riach, even if I temporarily forgot the Pete = DannyB saga earlier today.
  15. Flying Fortress from the Stork 1oz Brandy .75oz vodka .50oz absinthe .50oz triple sec (curaƧao) Tastes like Good n Plenty!
  16. Congrat Scott!
  17. Beautiful cocktail photos Jim. Stork Club Bijou, but with aquavit in place of gin
  18. You probably don't even remember when I used the Voice on you last month...
  19. Nope, no envoy trickery, just sharing too much on the part of the judge and witness. The judge has said -- on the record even -- that he and Jack Daniels will sit down to review trial transcripts and such, although he most recently said his late night working partner was Elijah Craig so he has upgraded his drinking companion a bit. The witness always orders martinis when we go to dinner after working, and lamented the need to forego gin and coffee while testifying this week. The '94 Ardbeg was good but not great, Mikey. Haven't had the '91.
  20. Awesome score, Jim! Curious what you think about the bookends, so please elucidate when you have a chance to mix something up. Nice haul for you too, Raffy, and I wish that Founders were available out here.
  21. Amen to that, Andy. Who wants the hassle of returning $5K cans, let alone sending them to Japan!
  22. Yay Dinny and Yay Apple! I cannot wait to buy the new Air and I am praying that it is available before our trip at the end of the month. Come on release it already!
  23. Did Jacob call Pete DannyB or something? Vague memory of laughing a lot.
