Andrew Bird Concert Review

You have to have some type of talent to play Radio City Music Hall.  Andrew's a good whistler, and some of his songs have a unique sound.  But the rest is sort of just so so...  Seems like he has more talent then this show showed.  Too bad....

The Paying It Forward Post

The worst day of Ephman's life came when his wife got diagnosed with a stage 3 Melanoma tumour.  Yuck!  But here's the rub, and why this page exisits on the blog.  She's run 5 marathons.  Her last New York City Marathon was 3:46:07 (she'd be mad if that 7 second was listed).  Anyways Ephman's giving up the mic and letting her tell her own story.  And when you're done reading her story you can click on this link and scroll down to the bottom of the page.

Radio Happy Hour w/ Andrew W.K. @ (le) poisson rouge

This is a double show of sorts Ephman guesses... whatever it's another one that he gets sucked into going to by his wife.  First it's during a Saturday afternoon, and the way things are going NYC'ers could use as much sunshine as they can get.  it would be so bad if the (le) poisson rouge wasn't in a basement sub-level.  Second, Ephman has no idea about either of the artists playing.   Ephman loves a surprise...  (insert scary sound here)  There he got ya!
