For those outside the NYC area, it snowed here 4 days out of 10 through yesterday -- pretty rare. Fortunately it all melted within a day or so. The playlist page's humongous flakes would definitely strain a snowblower's engine.

Same as Kevin. I need to check out more Future Wife. The writing for that song (as well as the performance) was brilliant.

Also, I really hope Future Wife are fans of The Room, because if they aren't, that's got to be awkward.

Hey Evan…just got in at the very end of the line here…looks like I missed most of a great show! Merry Christmas Dawnie!

BTW, coming in as I am late for the party, just for the record Bob Pfeifer has been embroiled in a personal tragedy for some time now. Last year his ex-wife abducted their son (for whom Bob has legal custody) and his half-brother and ran off with them to Eastern Europe. Bob has started an internet campaign that has gone somewhat viral to find his son and return him to the US. They're getting closer, and Interpol is on the case. For any of you who have Facebook, there's a group called Bring Jerry Home with over 12,000 followers which you should check out. Doesn't look like he'll be home for Christmas this year, but perhaps soon!
