Oingo Boingo remains one of the coolest bands ever. Their horn-infused ska sound found a new life 15-20 years later with bands like No Doubt (who I will be seeing in four days). Boingo was ska before ska was cool!!!
We're putting an offer in on the new construction in Bear Valley Springs tomorrow. I probably ought to look at our offer sans the majority of a 1999 Fetzer Cabernet Sauvignon to make sure we aren't doing anything stupid...
Speaking of which, the Wine Spectator that came in the mail a week ago or so said that 1999 was a hallmark year for Cabernet Sauvignons. Said you basically couldn't go wrong. I've had two 1999's so far (Fetzer and Beringer, IIRC) and both have been quite good. The bonus with the Fetzer is that I got the bottle for like $7+CRV. (Best 30 minutes I've ever spent... ;-)
Finally, to come back full circle, here's what I'm listening to:
Only a Lad, Oingo Boingo
Contact, The Benjamin Gate (great Christian "alternative" group)
"Nothingman", Pearl Jam (hi bcp!)
