Recently the Dodge Music Center (Formerly the Meadows) lost their permit to sell beer and other alcoholic drinks because they were caught selling to minors. They got a 3 day suspension.
From News Channel 8:
[The parking attendant tells News Channel 8 she foresees many tailgating parties before the show.
"Everybody is going to have to get that much more drunk before the show. When you know you are not going to get a drink when you get inside you are going to have to have 3-4-5 more before you go in," says Russo.]
These are people who are old enough to buy alcohol and get drunk at their own house - they have to buy a concert ticket on top of it?
Maybe they should try and stay sober, maybe they will realize they quality of music they are listening to (I don't know enough about Nine Inch Nails so this is not a comment at them) and maybe the music that is out there will improve..... Nahhhh.

Myths and Truths
Three things I learned today to counter "common knowledge"
1. Conneticut is not losing population:
Location, location, location: Latest census estimates indicate population in
Connecticut on the rise
So if Connecticut has such a high cost of living, why are people coming here? That is a much different question.
2. Custom gas formulas do not result in increase prices:
'Boutique' Gasoline Blends Not Boosting Prices, Study Finds
So another explanation for high gas prices is out the window.
3. There are atheists in fox holes:
http://www.maaf.info/expaif.html
Also certain religions such as Buddhism are considered atheistic because they do not believe in "a god". I think that is starting to blur the line, but the questions still is, "When faced with his mortality, and stripped of reason, does man recognize a supreme being?"

Pray for those who will not listen
"A Seymour man and an Oxford man were killed after the car they were driving in hit a guardrail early Tuesday and slid about 200 feet along the northbound side of Route 8 before ending up on its roof....
State police said the driver of the car -- whom they have yet to identify -- lost control of a 2003 Nissan 350Z between exits 18 and 19 around 1:08 a.m. Tuesday and collided with the wire rope guardrail on the right shoulder of the road. The car then rolled over and slid several hundred feet. Both Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx, who were not wearing seat belts, were ejected from the car."
I try to understand but can't - buckle up.
