drpaisleyWelcome, triskadekaphiles! Having survived the trip to Minicon and back, we're here once again spinning the hits (and misses, when they show up). Minicon was fun, if exhausting even without the drive (first con in six months; gotta get back in con shape). Having headed north last Thursday evening with a full vehicle, we crossed the Minnesota border at 2a and found our overnight crash space in Ottawana.
The next morning, I was reading the local free paper and the big story was the upcoming Easter egg hunt put on by a local church. Apparently last year 10K eggs weren't enough, so they had arranged for 50,000 eggs for this year's event. For a city of 25,000. Additionally, the church was bringing in a special guest speaker for the Easter service: Stephen Baldwin. Scary stuff.
On the way up, we stopped for dinner at the only non-fast food we could find open, an Applebee's just off I-35 in the northeast corner of the Des Moines metroplex. Our server was wearing a shirt promoting Peace Tree Brewing. The Rye Porter was very tasty indeed, and a side trip to the brewery in Knoxville in the near future will be in order. But now, the tunes.
1) Space Oddity, Belle & Sebastian
2) Back On The Street, Hawkwind
3) The Polka Polka, Mojo Nixon
4) Pull Up To The Bumper, Grace Jones
5) Hydrological Cycle, Half-handed Cloud
6) So What, Larry Carlton
7) Greensleeves, Neil Young (5/16/74, The Bottom Line, New York City)
8) I Was The One She Came For, Jonathan Richman
9) 05 Revolution 1 (Take 20, Monitor-Mix), The Beatles
10) Keechie, No Age
plus
11) Your Own Worst Enemy, TMBG
12) On and On, Friska Viljor
13) Oxycontin Blues, Steve Earle
Friday the 13th (that comes on a Friday) and the Royals home opener this afternoon. And I have to work. Bah humbug.
