Is this a real band or something that formed from the ectoplasm of @davidjroth.bsky.social and Defector? www.remembersports.com

LOL. Is this a time zone thing or a "don't understand what time a show actually starts" thing?

But I did write one these columns (and used to have a caricature, how 'bout that?)

Screenshot of part of September 20 Austin American-Statesman column written from the Mets @ Phillies game, the second MLB game played after 9/11.

Headline: When Baseball Isn't Just a Game

"Sometimes it's just a game..." a Philadelphia Phillies advertising slogan teased last week.... "and sometimes it's more."

Little did they know.

Last line of excerpt: Football and baseball didn't matter -- but by the way, when are we gonna have them again, and how, and why, and if it's not too much trouble, could they go ahead and heal the country?"

Northwestern football appears to have embraced platinum pricing (this for the first versus Penn State, if there are cheaper/normal game tickets they haven't gone on sale yet).

Still one great single reserved pit seat left for Willie and Neil in Philadelphia at the low low price of $340. Last row of Main, $267! Neil Young Archives presale code also doesn't work, not that I was going to use it.

screen shot from Inquirer article about the new restaurant Waltz: "“We call it ‘Gus’ gravy’,” says Joey, noting that this father, Donald “Gus” Dougherty, also a partner at Waltz, learned the recipe in 2008 from some Italian friends he met while he was serving 18 months in federal prison at Fort Dix for defrauding the IBEW Local 98 electricians union, formerly run by his close (but unrelated) associate, John “Johnny Doc” Dougherty. “He’s made it every Sunday since.”"

This is, after all, Cincinnati, the region known for prosecuting Mapplethorpe and Larry Flynt. But "Creationist theme park" is still a pretty out-there Reds/MLB advertiser.
