Ok, I’ve been pushing my love of two new bands, Broken based April Smith and the Great Picture Show and LA rockers Fitz and the Tantrums, forever now. However, they both played 20th Century Theatre last night together and were amazing. Please, look at these photos and then give them a listen. You will not not be un-sorry.

The Art of Food is a new exhibit at The Carnegie that had it’s kickoff event last weekend. It features art about food and sometimes made from food - so those of you who don’t feel they’ve lived until they’ve seen van Gogh’s The Potato Eaters made out of potato chips or Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte made from thousands of Fruit Loops, well, start living my friends.

My friend Scott had an idea, as he does, and this one was hard to argue with. We would drive two hours to Carmel, Indiana (right outside of Indianapolis) to eat The Big Ugly Burger at Bub’s Burgers and Ice Cream, a meal of monstrous proportions. Adam Richman, of Man vs. Food fame, tried to eat four and get a lifesize cutout. He only go through 2 and a quarter. We just wanted to do one and get our picture on the wall.

And you bet your ass we did just that.
