The colors of the sky, hills, and plants in the Bay Area in October is positively unreal and every year I lament that I can’t take the whole month off to wander SF and hike in Big Sur.

Modest Mouse was a different show same venue this summer. The Greek really stacked the nostalgia acts this summer, but we’re going to see Big Thief in a couple of weeks there.

We just saw the Pixies at the Greek a couple of weeks ago so definitely not judging.

It was before Wes died, I’m thinking 1998 or so and I think the Curtain Club.

Wow. They are still playing? Everyone I knew in high school had a Tim story. I think I was at the last Tripping Daisy show ( it was at least very near the end)

I hear that. I hired some great folks in Berlin and it’s the main reason I’m not just dead by now.

If the redistricting mess isn’t the best argument for the popular vote, I don’t know what is.

In addition to being a GenX fest, the gender ratio at this show is somewhere between tech conference and Rush concert.

Let’s start taking bets on what bands will do the casino circuit. Also, why are there people under 40 at this Pixies show?

Jim Sanborn has a secret The sculptor of the CIA’s β€˜Kryptos’ has spent decades guarding its last secret code. What happens when he’s gone?

My poor husband sent me a lovely FT article on James Sanborn on.ft.com/45Eu37h and is now unwittingly roped into watching Elonka Dunin’s Defcon12 talk on it (I was at this one and was fascinated) before breakfast.

Go to great lengths to be a solid partner with legal, audit/compliance, and red team. Not always easy, but very much worth it to be on their good side.

A good rule of thumb is to never have too many direct reports that you can’t have a cookie for each performance review you finish.
