raise your hand if you don't have the luxury of sleeping in airconditioning!!!!

What's the deal with local news talking about "good sleeping weather" anyway? How many people actually sleep in a non-temperature controlled environment in the summer, huh?!? HUH?!?!?

I can think of 2 off the top of my head.

Me and my upstairs neighbor.

And every time I start feeling sorry for myself (last night I managed about 4ish hours of sleep) I think of him UPstairs in that sweltering barn and realize that someone's always got it worse.

The good news is the humidity has broken. Bring on the good sleeping weather, I say!

It's been a week.

There were some crazy work-related events that transpired which I will not go into detail about here. It is finished and no one was permanently injured however there will most likely be battle scars we can all show off for many years to come.

Peetah and I managed yet again to travel to Detroit for a show at my most favorite venue The Majestic this week. He had this really great idea of picking up Jimmy Johns before we left, putting in some miles, and stopping at a rest area for a picnic. Brilliant, right? Except I had worked myself up into a frenzy of excitement over the foodgasm I was going to experience--Veggie Sub with salty Pringles and sweet icy Diet Coke--only to discover that they had made a VITO sub not a VEGGIE sub. The Vito? Genoa salami, capicola, provolone, lettuce, tomato, onions, and vinaigrette. I just about had a nervous breakdown.

The show, however, might go down as the best concert I have been to. Ever. In my life. This is a high honor as past shows include New Kids on the Block, The Grateful Dead with Jerry, Barry Manilow, Beck, The Pointer Sisters, The Beach Boys, and Old Crow Medicine Show.

The Black Keys were amazing.

For a long time, I was under the impression The Black Keys were a bunch of old black blues dudes from the South. I then found out that they were a bunch of white dudes from Ohio. And but a few days before the show I found out there were only 2 of them. 2 dudes. That's it. The stage setup was really something else. A drumset was placed at the very edge of the stage to the left and a mike stand was to the right. Behind the mike stand were a set of speakers of some sort. That's it. 2 dudes. The sound was incredible. Rich and full of reverb. And completely rocked out. I thought the crowd was a tad subdued, but Peter didn't seem to think so. There was that guy who was a few rows ahead of us who kept giving off some spirit fingers. He seemed to be having some fun. In the excitement of it all I managed to splash a teeny tiny bit o'beer on the girl in front of me but as it was sweltering hot I think she thought she was just dripping with sweat. Which we all were. They only played for about an hour which is completely understandable given that there were only 2 dudes. Did I mention it was only 2 dudes?!?!

The weekend is gonna be a weekend. I'm off tomorrow and have plans to see Molly's new house and then lunch with she and the monkey. Saturday I work all day. Sunday I'll be trying to remind myself that the Harry Potter event is just like every other movie event I've done. And then it's Monday.

HP Day.
