Quick Hits: Banjo, OOTS, Sports cars
Want to know what’s up? Here’s what’s up.
- I keep on pickin’ that banjo. Can more or less play four songs now, slowly and with many errors. This weekend I plan to plug in my MiniDisc and see what I sound like.
- Need a webcomic? Rich Burlew’s Order of the Stick is plain nice. It’s stick-figure art, and the humor, nay the premise, revolves around old-school D&D, but Burlew has a knack for feather-light storytelling that keeps one coming back.
- Speaking of webcomics, Achewood Vol. VI is out, and a new character, Emeril, is breaking onto the scene.
- Saw the Dale Ann Bradley band at RBA on Saturday. They covered both “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” and “Me and Bobby McGee,” which was questionable. Their picker, Elmer Burchett, Jr., was what we call fast and cuts a somewhat more Hip (sparkly tunic, goatee) profile than the banjo normally connotes. Also performing were the School of Bluegrass, none of whom were over sixteen and several of whom were under ten. Molly Tuttle, guitar player, is thirteen and unbelievable. Frankie Nagle also made an appearance. This is probably the new generation of bluegrass, or at least West Coast bluegrass. Does that exist? These kids are incredible.
- Almost done with season one of “Lost.”
- C is in D.C. next week, call her if you want to see her.
In closing I will say only that on the What sports car are you? test I got a score of “Mazda RX-8.”

Well, I've now read all 310 installments of Order of the Stick in just over a week. I feel a little pathetic and have an incredible urge to play Dungeons and Dragons.
Thanks.
