Built to Spill via Bradley's Almanac

"Best Built To Spill set I've ever seen? Ayup. Show of the summer? Newt says "Eye-firmative". Show of the year? It's looking good. 2010 has just four full months to change my mind."

There's a great review of the show, plus a set list, pix, mp3 and video. Check it.

Happy Father's Day!

This afternoon we closed the outdoor deck for a spell since it was freaking freezing out there and not so many people wanted to eat lunch huddled under the awning. That made for a happy crowd inside. There were lots of kids, and lots of staff families celebrating Father's Day in the place we love most. Even in the rain.

Today wasn't such a bad one, rain wise. Sometimes it gets a little nutty. After all, we're something like 30 miles or so out in the Atlantic. On some nights it's like being an extra in a Gilligan's Island episode. They probably had a raw bar, too, and they always seemed to have fancy tropical bevs handy-by.

But they didn't have Squirrel Nut Zippers! We do. They're playing their first ever Cape Cod show right here on July 17. Tix on sale now.
