we go on walks at Grays Lake and I’ve wondered about the temp bridge they‘ve been building, but this is what’s going on, which they posted on the other side of the River

Ok, review of the My Chem show. It was quite fun. They did all of the Black Parade set in some mythic former Soviet republic, lots of theatrics, a dictator, a murderous clown, etc. After that they came back out as just a rock band and tore it up for another 45 minutes.

What if “The Black Parade” took place in a mythical Soviet republic?

All modern outdoor baseball stadiums also now have this specific condo building outside of them. Which seeeems cool as long as you love baseball?… maybe only baseball players live in it?

Baseball is best played in stadiums specifically made for baseball, but baseball stadiums are absolute crap for all other uses.

Today I was helping my daughter set up her new classroom at Smouse elementary and I got a private tour from the chief maintenance guy. It’s a really cool building with a cool history. Bonus: it’s haunted.

The Des Moines River is full of pollution that (I assume) was whipped into a frothy mess by the Saylorville spillway. Super gross.

“Love See No Colour” by The Farm, is one of my all time favorite albums. I’ve given it 2-3 listens a year since ‘93 or so. It’s bonkers good and the fact that it’s not on a lot of streaming services is a crime.

I loved how much work the Pet Shop Boys would put into their album packaging. “Very” and “Bilingual” especially were just great in every way; including being their best 2 albums (IMO)

The Bilingual CD had a frosted, see through case

The “Very” album came ina neon orange case with raised dots

Back in the early 90’s my mom ran “Tap Des Moines” where hundreds of tap dancers did a parade in downtown on a random summer day. The grand martial was my friend Bo who always looked dapper in his tux
