Hump Day Happenings

I am currently sitting in my hotel room in Rochester, NY just about to hit the road for Raleigh, NC. Both of the Phish shows I have seen so far have been very very good, but MPP night two, set two has been the best set so far. I am really pumped for the final four shows of the tour. Here is some news and a video of Phish covering Neutral Milk Hotel's "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea"

Monday Morning Coffee Break

Last night, Atoms for Peace delivered an amazing performance that ranks as one of the best shows I have seen this year. Check out Greg Kot's review of their show on Saturday. Other than that I had a really good weekend. On Saturday, I ate at Xoco, which was fantastic. I also tried the Opening Day IPA that Goose Island now has on tap. Grab a cup of coffee and read some news and check out a video to get your Monday morning moving.
