2 Guys on Beer

Hey guys and galas, I'm gonna do a little "blog" networking.

A buddy of mine has a great internet show called 2 Guys On Beer. Its local to Philadelphia, but that doesn't mean it isn't useful to anyone who likes a good brewskie. I was at a filming of a couple of episodes at National Mechanics bar the other day and it was really cool.

Please, do me a favor and check them out!

2 Guys On Beer!

Pearl Jam Concert

So I was at the Pearl Jam concert last night in Camden.

Let me say this:

I was in a guitar pick hailstorm.

We were 5 rows in front of these tickets and look how much they are going for!

At one point I got the chance to pass an early setlist to the little girl behind me and that was really awesome for me.

I was freakin 15 feet from the entire band.

Mike McCready is one of the greatest guitarists ever.

This is what happened to me and those close by at the climax of the show:

FYI = The music is different but this is EXACTLY what happened.

Taxes

I agree that taxes stink, but what must stink for Mayor Nutter of Philadelphia is inheriting a budget from that total clod, John Street. I guarantee the budget is an absolute mess and that is why Nutter needs to increase the parking tax by 33%.

Now, I hear McCain wants to cut taxes, if he gets into office. That's pure insanity. We've had 8 years of tax cuts and watching our deficit increase and our economy and the value of our dollar decrease and the cost of gas skyrocket. You think maybe the solution goes beyond tax cuts and "economic stimuli". Dont get me wrong I I cant wait to give my six hundo to Visa to clear my credit card.

Anyway, there's half an argument for ya.

Nuggets

I love the word nuggets. Everything that comes in nugget form is good. Wisdom, chicken, gold, or even toffee nuggets in your ice cream. I believe that everything great should be offered in nugget form. Beer nuggets, sex nuggets, Philadelphia major sports championship nuggets, nugget nuggets.

But not all nuggets are great.

No one likes the Denver Nuggets.
