In fact, culture on a beer budget just might be a hit!<br /><br />I've been to a couple concerts that amount to Happy Hour occasions - workers from downtown offices getting together on a Friday evening over drinks and a bit of classical; people were cheek to cheek, so to speak, in the lobby.<br /><br />I sneaked the links in while you weren't looking, Dive.<br /><br />Right now, I'm anticipating watching the German GP. Starts about an hour from now. Oh, and it looks like we've gotten a break in the weather - 85 degrees - down a whole 10! Damn, I'm cold!Speedwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16294062505751359294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380304323931971092.post-41656071320318335112011-07-24T09:45:08.769-05:002011-07-24T09:45:08.769-05:00The links are working fine, Speedway.

You can tell from their schedule that they work A LOT all over the Midwest. Hey, why not them hire for a gig in your town? I bet that would cause a bit of a stir in the Mummies' scheduling tomb! (Now how're we gonna fit London in between Skokie and Philly?)<br /><br />I really like the paintings and I'm wondering whether there are plans for them when the work starts on the bldg. If, like other sheathing I've seen, the plywood is 5/8-inch thick, then they're going to be very heavy, almost too much to hang on most walls, including mine.<br /><br />I'd intended to create a link for HCTM. Forgot it, along with one for ISO. Will fix both.Speedwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16294062505751359294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380304323931971092.post-19197743921246197822011-07-24T03:39:10.433-05:002011-07-24T03:39:10.433-05:00Are you quite sure they're not the ISO, Speedw...Are you quite sure they're not the ISO, Speedway? All bar one of the classical musicians I know also play in bands for fun. And those guys sure are fun, even the ending talky bit cracked me up.<br />I love the paintings. I'd happily have the bassoonist panel on my dining room wall. Great stuff.divehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938980502783421961noreply@blogger.com
