Familiar Faces? A Look Back at The Hold Steady in Omaha
So last night I continued my futile search for a poster commemorating when The Hold Steady played at the Sokol Underground in Omaha, back on May 20, 2007.
Great "I'm totally into this song right now" rock concert face.
Still have found nothing. Damn.
However, I did find an interesting "roll" of film on this site, taken by Chip Duden. Tell me if you notice anyone familiar on the far right:
Great "I'm totally into this song right now" rock concert face.
And then there's this one...while you cannot see his face, as anyone that was there would know, the MIB was threateningly pointing at the keyboard player all night. I'm pretty sure we've got a confirmed sighting in this photo:
Anyway, I thought those were kind of cool. More importantly, it reminded me of that day/night, easily one of the most fun days ever. Ahh, memories.
In the meantime...1% Productions, get these guys back in Omaha!!!!!

HeavySoul March Madness--The Pool
While I was watching the Selection Show today, in between wanting to stab Billy Packer and continuing my three year quest to figure out just who the hell Seth Davis is and where he came from (my current theory: he is the love-child of Dr. Tom Davis and Geena Davis, and a University of Maryland-Baltimore County alum), it dawned on me that I do not as of now have even one pool to participate in. This saddens me.
Therefore, I decided to start my own. Below are the details to The Official Heavy Soul March Madness NCAA Tournament Pool, brought to you by Grain Belt, Barrett's Barleycorn, and Roger's Fine Foods of North Platte, NE.
Who: anyone reader or poster who wants to participate
What: The Offical Heavy Soul March Madness NCAA Tournament Pool, brought to you by Grain Belt, Barrett's Barleycorn, and Roger's Fine Foods of North Platte, NE.
How: We are going to CBS Sportsline, GA and a few others, I emailed you the link. I'm horrible with email addresses so leave one in the comments and I will make damn sure we will get you the link sent out. GA, I know you have most of these as well, so we will make sure we get you an invite by Monday night at the latest. The site is set up, I just need to get the invites out. That's where the email addresses come in.
Cost: $5 or $10 entry fee? Vote in the comments and most votes will win. Prize pool will be announced on the blog at a later date based on number of participants. I will collect whenever, but have your money to me by Opening Day of Baseball at Barrett's at the latest. That will actually be a great time to collect.
When: You can turn brackets in anytime before Thursday at 11AM CST, but keep in mind you will be missing the play in game on Tuesday night so there is a bonus for early entries.
Any questions, let me know. Again, I will be sending invites tomorrow.
