Attention Jr. Nerds

UWS has an annual Science Night, and tonight is the night. We’ve gone the last couple years, and it’s a good time – for kids especially, but for adults too. Glowing goo, bugs, explosions, liquid nitrogen …  yeah.

6-9 PM, UWS Barstow Hall

Bangkok Royal?

I know it’s a sometimes losing proposition to ask PDDers for their opinions on restaurants (half usually judge food based solely on price, while the other half have such oh-so-sensitive palates that anything served between the two coasts is intolerable and repulsive*) but nonetheless, here I go.

Has anyone eaten at the Bangkok Royal located in the Village Square Mall? What was your experience like?

*Please realize that I’m exaggerating here. And forgive me for coming across like a royal bangkok.

Bob’s Basement Sale is back, with a vengance

My last sale put the “suck” in success, but like my old JV football coach said: “TENACITY!!”  So, I’m giving it another whirl, and you’re all invited, again. If you were the bearer of one of the myriad excuses which kept the frothy-mouthed masses from clearing out my fabulous stash of vintage dandies (something for everyone!!)(priced to induce guilt-ridden sleep-loss!) last weekend, don’t fret, I still have just about everything left. I even have a leftover keg of pear cider. 7-11pm, 628 N. 10th Ave. E, back door.

Conan O’Brien back on-air June 1st – Hurry!

IMHO Late Night  TV needs Conan back  ASAP.  I hope his format, when he takes over the Tonight Show June 1st, stays similar to how his Late Show was.  I remember the time when Conan or Kimmel?? did a live broadcast feed from Duluth about something, maybe some guy creating an ice sculpture or something..?? Anyone remember what it was about?  I just remember a bunch of people started showing up and the guys he was interviewing were some real characters, like missing teeth and whatnot. One guy was on some kinda weird homemade moto-trike. If any one can find the video from that post it! I can’t find it anywhere. I thought it as Conan but it may have been Kimmel.

Gotta love the rappin William Shatner remix… Hurry back Conan.

Young Goodman Brown – “Runnin’ Down a Dream”

Thought this might be a good day for a little fun since it sucks so bad outside. Here we have the last known video by the band Young Goodmann Brown … doing their version of Tom Petty’s “Runnin’ Down A Dream.” This is it, I have no more video featuring these boys. However, I do have an entire 1991 performance by a great little band called Zen Identity … taped in the spring of 1991 at the Cove Cabaret. Anyone interested in that?

Outside drinkin’ at kozy bar

I live upstairs from that joint & let me tell you you have to wade through the drug dealers & prostitutes just to get in that joint!!

Tis the season

The DNT recently ran a piece relating various reader-submitted stories of April Fools’ Day pranks gone by. Now, with all due respect to those whose stories appeared, I was…  a little underwhelmed. Convincing half of scenic (and credulous) Carrboro, North Carolina (“The Paris of the Piedmont”) that a Hooters was going to take over a defunct restaurant smack in the center of town, by contrast–that was sinister brilliance (I was one of the twits who fell for it, mind you, not the architect).

Can you share any tales of memorable 1 April hijinks past without endangering your latest master plan?
