Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda: The Jelena Dokic Story

Office At Popscene, SFThis is the poster of the Office concert that I wanted to go to, but didn’t for a few reasons. One, it was all the way in San Francisco, and I didn’t feel like driving all the way over there. Well, okay, it’s only one reason.

Not many bands come to Sacramento, so I should be more proactive in going to concerts when bands I know do come. I missed The Forms when they showed up. I missed VHS or Beta and Moving Units. I also missed Film School, which actually would have been a good concert.

Quote about Bo Jackson:

“Third time up, Yankees manager Stump Merrill walked out to the mount to ask pitcher Andy Hawkins how he intended to get Bo out this time.

‘I’ll pitch it outside,’ Hawkins said.

‘It better be way outside,’ Merrill replied.

Hawkins threw it way outside. Jackson poked the ball over the right field fence for his third homer. The New York crowd went bananas.” – “The Lenged of Bo Jackson” by Joe Posnanski in the Sept. 2007 issue of Baseball Digest.
