All the Pale Things Under the Earth

Last night I saw Blackfield as the tail-end of a free admission outdoor festival at Riverside Park in Manhattan. Jewzapalooza, in fact; Blackfield's sole Israeli member was reason enough for the otherwise British-based collaboration to be a part of it, apparently. There's just something about evening concerts when it's not too hot, with very cool prog rock...

On Saturday we went to the Garlic Festival, too. What a riot of flavors that day was!

Escapee episode 21 is up from last week.

Heh...it does seem a bit self-depricating but I suppose it is sorta like the old rule about it's ok for you to insult your mother but not someone else to say the exact same thing...

People are weird. :)

Heh, I didn't realize "jew" was considered an insulting word. I certainly would hate to consider it self-deprecating to call one's self a Jew. If an event were called "Kykefest '05" or "Fagzalot" or "Spicorama", and were an event that celebrated Jewish tradition, Homosexuality, or Hispanic culture, then that would be quite self-deprecating.

I went to "Polapalooza" here in Chicago, and like the event you attended, only one member of the band had to be Polish to be included. Food was good, though.
