Dead Goat Saloon

Turn it up! The studio chatter is the best.

The Dead Goat Saloon was a great place to meet some cool cats. It was Utah’s Whiskey a Go Go. The ambiance of this place was huge and steeped in history. They had a Gazillion pics of famous patrons on the walls. I learned a great deal about Utah and the Mormon state below, around, and beyond the Jesus Disneyland just 1 block away. LDS is very cultish.

I was saddened to learn that shortly after I left, this old joint had been briefly turned into a strip club before being closed for good. At least the light went out with a flash. A Roadhouse so close was bad enough, but naked women and beer must have really steamed the Elders.

Every once in awhile I cruise the Shures Network looking for any errors or problems. I did some edits tonight and ran across recordings I made in Salt Lake City. I had forgoton about these and also how much it means to me to have them.

In this one, my recorder was left rolling during a call I took. The guys improvised during it. The studio chatter brings back a lot of memories. If you turn it up and listen closely, you will hear it all. I used a digital multi-tracker.

You can also download and listen to the rest of the Utah stuff here.

Brookfield Zoo

After all the rain here the day before, it was a sweltering day at the Brookfield Zoo. We didn’t stay long but still managed to have some fun. Pictures in the Shures Photo Gallery.

2008 Zoppe Family Circus

I took my daughter to her 2nd season of the Zoppe Family Circus in Glen Ellyn, IL. The show was almost in our backyard. There is such a trey cool story behind this wonderful family and their production. I think they should be on TV with a reality show. “Run away with Zoppe” an orginal old time traveling circus. Visit their website or Youtube videos.

Rock on Giovanni, Tosca and Carla!

Daughter at AMC

Daddy and daughter went to see “Night at the Museum” today at the AMC Cantera 30 in Warrenville. After that, we went to the pet store and bought new goldfish as pets. For lunch, my daughter had one of her favorites; A Taco Bell crunchy wrap.
