Valentine's Day


First and foremost, Happy Valentine's Day to all of you lovebirds out there. To all of you hopeless singles, Happy Anna Howard Shaw Day! For anybody keeping track at home, Anna Howard Shaw was a bigwig in the women's suffrage scene in the early 20th century. I'm personally spending the day at work where things have been slow, despite the sunny weather and last minute shoppers looking for sweets. Often have I wondered how it is that I am here, but at the same time unable to produce anything that would be better for me to be doing. Alas, dreams of Seattle. I think when I get home I'm going to rock the fedora my valentine was lovely enough to send me and drink a toast to all of those kind and gentle people who are either without a loved one or disconnected from theirs on this torturous day of days. As one of my favorite lines from one of my favorite songs performed by one of my favorite bands goes, "All the wine is all for me" ...

On a related note, The National are going to be coming to Oakland's Fox Theatre on May 27th. I am thinking it is going to be a good idea to buy a ticket or three, take a day off camp in Yosemite and cruz on over to the bay to check things out and make sure the BTC crew has full and equal representation. Is there anybody with me?! It promises to be a night worth experiencing. For anybody requiring more information, just look at this picture and just you try and tell me you don't want to be a witness. I've heard rumors that the entire tour is going to be in black and white. Alright, I ramble. Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day and are rearranging your schedules to come play in Oakland on May 27th. Until then ...
