I curse all of you who knew about these awesome Prince performances from the Super Bowl and never told me about them.  I should’ve watched this ages ago, but instead I had to find out about it tonight. Thankfully someone rad out there has my back and told me to watch it, because my life [...]

Arrived

On Saturday I’ll be high in the air San Francisco bound. As a birthday gift to myself, I bought a ticket to see some of nearest and dearest before I head to Denmark. So consider yourself warned, SFO.
