The Monday before the final review my good friend George from Canadia had a spare ticket to see the Sam Roberts Band (also from Canadia) at the Bowery Ballroom.

It was a great concert; it was especially fun watching George get as excited as a 16-year-old girl at an Elvis concert.

Following the show we met up with long-time U of M friends at the "posh" Hudson Hotel designed by Philippe Starck. Posted by Picasa

Dear Randall, It's good to see new material on your blog. The most recent picture reminds me of the ones I took at the Beaux Art Ball at the U of M, eh? I'm unsure as to how many 16 year old girls are Elvis fans. We are looking forward to seeing you soon. Your Mom and I brought home a Christmas tree today. Where is the Bowery Ballrom? Is it big/old? Love, Dad

Hi Dad, yeah I thought of those photos of the Ball at the U of M. There were a few more Canadians here though.

I don't think any 16 year-old girls are Elvis fans now, but I think I've seen footage of girls fainting at the sight of him back in the day.

The Bowery is pretty old. I don't know much about it. It's rather small but has a mezzanine, 3 floors total each with a bar. On the mezzanine the bar is in a big, arched window like you'd find in a Louis Sullivan building.

I'm looking forward to coming home too. I'll help decorate the tree when I'm there if there's still the opportunity. You can put the ornament I sent you on there.

Love,
