“Florentino Ariza never had another opportunity to see or talk to Fermia Daza alone in the many chance encounters of their very long lives until fifty-one years and nine months and four days later, when he repeated his vow of eternal fidelity and evrlasting love on her first night as a widow.”
Oh! Pears…
I’ll be playing my upright with a new band, the Oh! Pears this Saturday at Johnny Brenda’s up in the Fishtown neighborhood. The band, started by Corey Duncan (former guitarist of Pattern is Movement), consists of 20 or so musicians making up a small orchestra. Small is relative since all these musicians won’t fit on JB’s tiny stage. In that small space you can expect the band to take up almost as much space as the fans! You should definitly try to come out. The music will be like nothing you’ve ever heard!
You can read more about the show in this week’s City Paper…

Oh and the IPA is ready:
In Beer News…
With my head still in Thailand and my hand in my latest brewing experiment (I’m calling it “Spacewine IPA”), I was just now able to catch up on beer news. I’m most excited about two tidbits of info from my favorite brewery, Dogfish Head:
Apparently, there is now a restaurant of theirs near my parent’s house in Virginia. This means (for the better or worse) it will be a lot more fun to visit my parents. And best of all? They have an iPhone app that keeps me up to date with what’s on tap! (Via. Thanks!)
Second bit of info isn’t particularly new, just awesome. Dogfish Head and west coast brewery, Sierra Nevada has joined together on a pair of collaberative beers:
The result, released in November, is Life & Limb, a 10 percent ABV ale brewed with maple syrup from Calagione’s family farm in Massachusetts and hops from the Sierra Nevada estate in Chico, California; just for fun, the pair used the mash a second time to brew Limb & Life, a 5 percent ABV “small” beer (so-called because second-run brews have many of the characteristics of the first run, but much less alcohol and character).
I have yet to see any around… anyone else?
In the meantime, who’s up for a roa dtrip to Virginia?
