Haven't we all been searching for the answer to this for quite a while??

Hey - there's a baseball game on my TV now!!!!

@Moose135 I'm so so sorry to read this. I'm glad you got to have her in your life as long as you did and I'm sure she was glad, too.

The only way I would want to have to ID "and I'm ERIC" is out of a lineup...

Cold open sounded exactly like the batshit press conference...but I laughed anyway. I love Don Cheadle. I loved whatever it was he was wearing during the monologue (which was pretty good), and what he was wearing at the end. I loved Doin' it Doggie Style. I loved the roach skit at the end. And the cake skit. Everything (except parts of Update) was really funny - and really dark. Which I love. And have I mentioned that I loooooove Gary Clark Jr? Because I do... Overall, a damn good show tonight.

I'm (finally!) seeing Gary Clark Jr in concert at the end of March and I cannot wait!!!

And... we didn't go to city hall. We went to the Massachusetts State Capitol - a bit more impressive than city hall. Nothing against city hall...

Okay - back from Austin, and while I was there, I tried to make a list of the stuff I did last time I was in Boston (2013): We also stayed at the Sheraton on Dalton! So I did a bunch of strolling along Newberry Street. Had lunch at La Voile (261 Newberry), a cute French Bistro with good food and lovely wine. Also had lunch at Trident Books Cafe (338 Newberry) and enjoyed that - plus it's a bookstore! There's a beautiful church at 67 Newberry - Church of the Covenant, that's open to walk through during the day. Got some great photos. Did a tour of Fenway (and a game), went to MFA (they had a great costume/fashion exhibit at the time) and took a walking tour of the North End (sorry, don't remember which company, but it was inexpensive and very interesting). I also saw Robert Plant at the outdoor concert venue, but that was time-specific 🙂 I walked through Cambridge one day looking for a restaurant that was closed. And, I walked around the theatre district since this trip was for a stagehands convention and figured I'd see how the neighborhood was looking after not having been there for a long time. It's still the same. I've been to Boston a bunch of times before. The Freedom Trail is great if the weather is good. Toured city hall. There's always the JFK Library. And have I mentioned the Saux? I just wish I'd been better about keeping a record of places we went for dinner. If I think of some, I'll post. Have fun - I like Boston a lot!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Sigh.... It was a rough day at work - thanks for the laugh.

I'd kinda forgotten it, too, but it's being used in some commercial lately. A lot. Really a lot. And I enjoy the song, but have no recollection of what the commercial is for. So take that, Madison Avenue!

I'll be here! Thanks for a lovely evening everyone!!

Absolutely fantastic!!

Just making sure he keeps it off before investing in new clothes... or something.

Dua Lipa and St Vincent (yeah, I had to ask someone, even though I know who both of them are, but not well enough to place them)

Fantasia and Andra Day - still coming up. Love Andra! Oh - wine bottle empty...

I have to look away from the TV when it comes on...which is way too often. Show goes till 11:30 - although I still think that will be pushing it. I may need more wine..

Brandi Carlisle is the real deal.

I think she's doing two shows in Vegas, one more subdued (for lack of a better word in my small word arsenal) and one more flashy. So you can pick the Gaga you're looking for.

I think she did fine without Bradley. I really admire her and (mostly) enjoy her.

Happy Birthday to Me!!! That was fabulous.

They are remarkable.

At first I thought they were called Wine. But Tequila works too... 🙂

Indeed we do! I may get through an entire bottle tonight. And that was some fine two-piano playing of Scott Joplin by Alicia.

I hadn't heard of her until the Red Carpet show, but I just said the same thing to Mr. ebk. She's quite good.

This is beautiful...
