How was the show?

How was the show?

Pretty decent although a more experimental production than I usually like. Craig was fun to watch, was in second row and he usually stood right at the edge of the stage. Ruth Negga was great, didn’t know she was Irish and she used her normal accent.

I saw Branagh as Macbeth in NYC years ago and he did it fairly traditionally. Much better show. Still, always fun to watch an A-list actor like Craig chew up the scenery.

How was your concert?

How was your concert?

Overall very good. Weather was glorious. Warm but not hot. Nice breeze off the harbor.

I love both artists. Lucinda had a stroke last year, and unfortunately, she’s not quite “back” yet. She can’t play guitar, and her vocals were showing the strain of age/stroke. All that considered, she was decent (I’ve seen her before and last night was a little sad, but I’m glad she’s performing.

Bonnie ROCKED the house. She played serval different genres, blues, rock, ballads even covered Talking Heads Burning Down The House. She was amazing.

Barns and Noble next to me is always so late getting these... they just received last month edition. Where do you buy yours?

Midnight Oil came through town on their final tour and gave us 2.5 hours of Aussie rock n roll.

I subscribed a while back. Much easier. Their writing has gotten much better over time. Much of it is still geared toward whatever products they are flogging but they are fairly upfront about it.

What was the venue?

What was the venue?

It was at the MGM Grand. Having been there twice now, I'd say it's pretty good venue. The sound is pretty good and it seems reasonably well organized.

Nice. Always looking for well reviewed music venues. I like Wolf Trap, and Merriweather (closer to me.....), The Anthem, and 930 club.... sound quality and ease of access (getting to/from, parking) are all important factors.... The Anthem fails at the ease part (for me) but every show I have seen there sounded great.

I put in my subscription but I had to cancel. Did not receive my mag and then after calculation it was $16 per magazine versus $12 at BN

Makes no sense as you would think you save on subscription

[dc_slicker]

Nice. Good luck!

Got a reply from them (see below)...

This one is available in 44R

Drago - Light Gray Check - Peak Lapel - English Cut | Suits | SPIER & MACKAY

Spier & Mackay

www.spierandmackay.com

but not sure if I want gray suit. then again, peak lapel is more of a fun suit so gray might work.

what do you think gents? Can I pull this suit to a formal dinner party event?

-----------------
Thank you for your email and interest in our suits. Unfortunately size 44 only comes available in our Contemporary cut. We will be receiving more peak lapel suits for this upcoming fall/winter season.

You can also request a different size trouser when placing your order. Simply leave a comment with your desired size and as long as it's in stock, we'll happily accommodate you. Please note that if you're going to be placing the order online and this is your first order, we don't recommend choosing the hemming option in case you need to make an exchange or return. Once the trousers are hemmed, the suit becomes final sale.

Hope this helps, please let us know if you have any other questions.
