It's Smithereens Day!
I'm going to see the Smithereens tonight at the State Theater in Falls Church. Accordingly, here's a fairly recent clip of them doing Room Without a View, at a club in Austin. Austin makes me think of this place. (I'll try to be home fairly early, so as not to clog up the roads for out of towners here for the inauguration.)

About Me
- tadcranky
- Tadcranky grew up in Arlington, Virginia, and now lives in Alexandria, with his girlfriend, a crazed puggle, and a varying number of fish. Someday, he may get a frog. He works in Washington, DC. He is a bona fide fan of the Red Sox, as well as the Nationals, Wizards and Redskins. He's hurt by the current state of the Redskins, and wonders if Gilbert Arenas will ever be back. Though the Nationals are no good, there's not much that he enjoys more than Sunday afternoongame at the new stadium. He's played on the same softball team for 25 years, and has been in the same rotisserie baseball league for almost as long. His softball team is great, his rotisserie team fluctuates. He also has a fantasy football team, which is among the worst in his league. He doesn't like Ethiopian food, people that talk too loud on their cell phones, Ann Coulter and bad drivers, all of which are characteristics that the Washington, DC-area is famous for. He's easily amused, he has about 200 channels of cable and knows how to use them. He's got a good rating on eBay, and hasn't gotten a speeding ticket in quite a while.

How was the show?
It was cool, they started right at 9:00, mercifully, no opening band. Plowed through old stuff. Went crazy with Blood and Roses and House at the end, with some Who thrown in. No Beatles. I was expecting you to come in right as they started a half hour Beatles thing. The Thrilla from Manila talked to Curtis B., who seemed to have a good time. I was home by 11:30.
