This Week:

  • I finished reading “The Urban Bizarre”, edited by Nick Mamatas. It’s an eclectic and electric collection of weird urban fiction, with plenty of violence, sex, and tall buildings.
  • This week in MUST251, we taught brass objects in the fur trade, Thayendanegea/Joseph Brant, and the image of the tomahawk in the United States.

With my kid, I watched Ghidorah: The Three-Headed Monster. It’s the perfect combination of exciting, scary and silly for an 8 year old. We loved it, though it certainly takes its time getting to the monster fighting.

  • On Friday, I went with my friend Thor to see Clutch at the Empire in Albany. I’ve been a fan of Clutch since I first saw them in 1999 at the Middle East Club in Cambridge, and I’ve tried to see them live every chance I get. Despite being 30 years (!) into their career, the band is still an astonishing and delightful live act. I was also particularly impressed with one of their opening acts, King Buffalo, who blew me away.
