Written and visual evidence of the past month

In brief:

- Jeff Tweedy was seen in Northampton, and a trumpet was later exchanged in Brattleboro.

- I indeed became the owner of two tickets to Phish at Fenway

- Speaking of Fenway, Paul and I saw Jacoby Ellsbury steal home, easily the coolest thing I have ever seen at a baseball game.

- Speaking of Fenway (again), Paul and I (again) saw the the Sox beat the Blue Jays in the shortest game I have ever seen (2 hours and 13 minutes).

- Anna and I saw Vetiver. I would like to take this opportunity to publicly express my love for Vetiver. I have loved them for awhile now, since I first saw them as Gary Louris’ backing band, and after this excellent show my love has truly blossomed. Listen to the Rolling Sea- for five minutes all will seem good and chill in the world.

- Seeing Bonnie Prince Billy live far, far exceeded all of my expectations. Ready for moody and contemplative, got sloppy rocking country. Excellent.

- Jad from Radiolab came to the Museum of Science and played the Space episode in the planetarium. Does it make me a geek that I was ready to go to scalpers for tickets for this? (alas, it was not necessary)

- Finally, trips were made to Martha's Vineyard.

Maybe that was a little longer than a month...
