Took in the Kids/Gun March on Saturday at Hemming Park. And then picked up Reed at the airport coming back from Guam at which I didn't get a picture.

This is kinda cool. Thrilllist recently did an article on the oldest bars in every state.

Florida: The Palace Saloon on Amelia Island, 1903. Florida isn’t designed for longevity, but The Palace Saloon holds strong. It’s, well, palatial. It was built in 1903 with the help of Adolphus Busch (yes, that Busch), and made its name as the last American tavern to officially close during Prohibition. It proudly carries the title of “Florida’s oldest saloon in the same place, under the same name.” An honorable mention is the Green Parrot Bar in Key West, which opened as a grocery in 1890. The drinking in the back was originally only for locals, but it officially became a bar in the mid-1900s. Today it has a super sketchy live webcam pointed at the bar.

The Palace Saloon is where Crescendo Amelia did their latest promo video featuring Marah Lovequist and, of course, Reed, which gives me an excellent excuse to put up that video again.

OK so I had my operation today to try and help the neuropathy in my right hand and arm. Doc said my carpal tunnel wasn't too bad but my cubital tunnel (elbow) was real congested. Maybe 50 years of throwing curve balls can do some damage. We'll see if this helps as it heals.

Some more pics from Reed in Japan where it's obviously a little chilly.

Layla invited Reed to Tokyo for Spring Break. He sent back some pictures. Also a Wikipedia post so you know what you're looking at.

Tokyo Skytree (東京スカイツリー Tōkyō Sukaitsurī) is a broadcasting, restaurant, and observation tower in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan. It became the tallest structure in Japan in 2010 and reached its full height of 634.0 metres (2,080 ft) in March 2011, making it the tallest tower in the world, displacing the Canton Tower, and the second tallest structure in the world after the Burj Khalifa (829.8 m/2,722 ft).

The tower is the primary television and radio broadcast site for the Kantō region; the older Tokyo Tower no longer gives complete digital terrestrial television broadcasting coverage because it is surrounded by high-rise buildings. Skytree was completed on Leap Day, 29 February 2012, with the tower opening to the public on 22 May 2012. The tower is the centrepiece of a large commercial development funded by Tobu Railway and a group of six terrestrial broadcasters headed by NHK. Trains stop at the adjacent Tokyo Skytree Station and nearby Oshiage Station. The complex is 7 km (4.3 mi) north-east of Tokyo Station.

So surgery is scheduled for Mar 21 after which I turn left handed for awhile.

And Reed is now in charge of the Instagram acct for the band.

And I just learned how to put paragraphs into this blog.
