File under: Why do they have to be THAT dark?

There is a preview of tomorrow's show on Jim Sullivan's home on the digital range that includes some rambling from years ago as well as some muttering about what we are up to now. For some prime miserableness:

More Chinese Food

This Boston trip seems to be all about Chinese food, perhaps as a reaction to not having anything remotely good at home in the desert to represent this masterful cuisine! Last night was soup dumplings at midnight from the well considered Gourmet Dumpling and tonight the slightly more common steamed fennel and pork dumpling at Wang's in Somerville. The rockstar of the meal was the Garlic Spinach though!

Dave announced that he is not extreme but only has "on and off", as a by product of our meal.

There is a cartoon plastic frog in a window behind the cash register, with it's back to the kitchen.

Now, the only cure for the creeping post meal nap urge is espresso! That and practice!

Pictures are included!

Thalia Zedek Band and Drew O'Doherty, Monday 4 2013

A lovely night in TT's in Central Square, Cambridge, NA with our friends. Both bands sounded as good as I have heard them and it is a great start the series! We hope to up the fun next Monday the 11th with a WGC set!

China King, Boston

A terrific small capacity diner in Boston's Chinatown. Two meals in four days on this trip and a few times last May have this fresh and articulately flavored kitchen continues to surprise with the latest being squid with pickled mustard greens. But the menu has plenty of hidden gems to explore.

Saturday at TL Gurley

One of our favorite haunts.

Thalia Zedek Band and WGC at TT the Bears, Cambridge, MA March 11

We are very pleased to have been invited to play with the Thalia Zedek Band in celebration of their new release "Via" on Thrill Jockey Records.

We've been asked to play the record Paper Covers Stone. This will be the first time it has been played live in the US. The record came out a few years ago and was recorded by Pete Weiss in Vermont during a two day day session that included Sean O'Brien, David Michael Curry, Robert Fisher and Steve Wynn. Come help us celebrate with Thalia and the band!
