el-p, dizzee rascal 05/16/08

el-p & dizzee rascal @ triple rock social club. minneapolis, mn. may 16th, 2008.

pardon the crap sound, my digicam refuses to make friends with bass.

dizzee rascal…

el-p

i have no idea where my video of dizzee’s “stop dat” went. lame. you get the idea though. the show was more than nice. crowd thinned out a bit after dizzee finished his set. it’s been a few years since i had last seen el-p. copped el-p’s tour only cd for $25! a bit pricey though it is a double disc and what i’ve heard so far is the cat’s pajamas. i planned to upload it along with this post but i’m running short on time today so i’ll hold out for now…

shroomin’…

here are a few pics i took this morning while i was out and about getting my hunter-gatherer on…

…i managed to find 5 total.  the more i thought about it, i could not recall ever having gone mushroom hunting.  not like it’s some rites of passage or whatever.  maybe it is in some cultures, who knows…anyway, i was just surprised that i haven’t gone and searched before.  it made for a pleasant morning…

slippin’ in my old age…

so i’m extremely late on this one…and it’s going to torment me for a very long time. this one hurts just as much as passing on james t. cotton in minneapolis on halloween night. the flyer for that show still rests in my car, haunting me. and that was 4 years ago! so anyhow, i was searching for music as usual and discovered this…

benga AND hatcha. san francisco, ca. october 13, 2007

apparently these two were touring the u.s. last year. why didn’t anybody tell me?!?!?! the reason i bring up the frisco date is because i was in california that weekend. i actually flew into san fran on the 13th and drove out to san jose for…

…which took place the following day. aaargh!!! so now, afterthoughts. had i known beforehand of this show, would i have gone? and if i did end up at said show, how would it have effected my performance in the 1/2 marathon? would i still have pr’d? i mean, i did get an excellent finish time(1:43:04) as well as this sweet medal…

i must admit, i am a little disappointed now that i know i missed an opportunity to see benga. in san francisco no less. at the same time, my trip was still effin’ ridiculous. ah wells. it’s said and done. behind me. in the past. long gone. history. but seriously, it would have been a helluva show. i must be getting old, letting that one slip by me…
