Yo La Tengo

I was fortunate enough to go see Yo La Tengo at the Discovery World a couple weeks ago. It was quite an amazing venue and was the most intimate concert I have ever been to. Ira addressed the crowd between almost every song and opened the floor for questions. I even got to have one of my requests played - Season of the Shark.

I like birds

I snapped this bird while working on an internship for South Milwaukee High School and just saw it flash across on my screen saver. I thought I should post it out here.
