Begin the b-day!

With my 36th birthday fast approaching, and having had the big thing kicked out from under my feet (the Who show), kshandra and clairaide allowed me to unwrap a couple of presents early.

Kirsten picked up a wonderful set of cds, including The Who: The Ultimate Collection and John Entwistle's Greatest. We spent the evening listening to those. Rose picked up a wonderful book about life on the cable cars, as told by the conductors and gripmen. She also ordered a gorgeous glass penguin. We need to find an earthquake-proof perch for him.

I also picked up the latest Harry Turtledove, American Empire: The Center Cannot Hold. The second book in the second trilogy in his alternate history covering the early 20th century in a world where the South won the Civil War.

Except for Entwistle dying, it was a good day.

Happy early birthday!

I just heard on the radio a moment ago that they're still going forward with the SF concert on July 3 (KFOG reported this as being the upshot of a BGP press conference). I know it won't be the same, but I thought you might want to know.

I heard the same blurb while I was at work, murphymom mentioned a newsbyte on the web when I talked to her earlier, and isomeme sent us a link from Pete Townsend's website.... And I've since heard (DOYC bless KFOG) that the bassist they've called upon has toured with Pete in the past, so with luck it won't be as clunky as it could have been.
