313th New Thing - Listened to DMB Live at Wrigley Field

Denver Public Library has audio CDs that you can borrow. Last time I was there at the Virginia Village branch, they had some Dave Matthews Band CDs. I was a big fan back in college but don't have all the CDs. I think I saw them live in concert about 4 times on the east coast. I borrowed DMB's Live at Wrigley Field 2 disc set. DMB is an American rock band that was formed in Charlottesville VA in 1991. Lyrical themes focus on topics ranging from love, sex, the enjoyment and appreciation of life, to ending racism, and political and anti-war statements. The founding members were singer-songwriter and South African guitarist Dave Matthews, bassist Stefan Lessard, drummer/backing vocalist Carter Beauford, and saxophonist LeRoi Moore (died August 2008). Boyd Tinsley was added to the band as a violinist soon after the band was formed. The band has won 1 Grammy Award and was awarded the NAACP Chairman's Award. Live at Wrigley Field occurred September 17th and 18th 2010 as DMB closed out its summer tour at the historic Chicago ball park. One of my favorite live concert songs is Two Step which they played at Wrigley. I'm sure it was an amazing show. I would love to see DMB again, especially at Red Rocks in CO.

271st New Thing - Visited the Space Needle

I was on vacation so I didn't have time to post the last few nights, therefore I'm posting this late as this occurred 1 day ago   (Tues 7/17/12).   We were in the northwest in the Washington State area for a few days so Matt and my 2 Chicago friends were in Seattle and up the Space Needle yesterday. The Space Needle is a tower in Seattle, Washington and is a major landmark of the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It was built for the 1962 World's Fair, during which time nearly 20,000 people a day used the elevators, with over 2.3 million visitors in all for the World Fair. The Space Needle is 605 feet high at its highest point and 138 feet wide at its widest point and weighs 9,550 tons. It is built to withstand winds of up to 200 mph and earthquakes of up to 9.1 magnitude. The tower also has 25 lightning rods on its roof to prevent lightning damage. The Space Needle features an observation deck at 520 feet, and a gift shop with the rotating SkyCity resta...

39th New Thing – Donated $1 to Books For Africa

I read an Oprah.com article, 16 Ways to Make an Incredible Impact With Less Than $15 , recently about 16 different organizations you can donate to for as low as a $1 donation or up to a $15. Since it is the holiday season of giving, I decided to donate $1 to Books For Africa . Supposedly $1 will provide 2 books shipped to a classroom in Africa. Access to an education is one of the only opportunities young people have to end the cycle of poverty and attain a better quality of life than previous generations. Books For Africa works to help children who otherwise would not attend school by supplying educational materials to reduce or eliminate education costs. In the wake of Wyclef's accusations (1/3 of $16 million raised went to the charity), I was a little leery of donating but if Oprah says it is a reliable organization, it must be! What did you do today?
