Smart went Crazy

Dirk....WTF!?

A story broke last week that a woman, said to be Dirk Nowitzki's fiancee Cristal Taylor, was arrested at Nowitzki's home for having outstanding warrants for her arrest. Turned out she was a 37 year old con-artist wanted for theft. As disappointing as that is for Dirk, nothing was more disappointing than Cristal Taylor's mug shots....
UGH! What the fuck!? That's Dirk's girlfriend? That's the woman that could potentially be carrying his baby? Can somebody please tell Dirk that he's famous and can pretty much get any good looking girl in her mid to late 20's? Reggie Miller called and he wants his face back. Did Dirk meet this woman at the Zoo? I'm not saying she looks like a primate, but when I google imaged her, the first result back was a Planet of the Apes poster. She must have really drove him bananas. The best part too was another story broke and former NFL QB Tony Banks admitted to dating this woman back in 1997. Why would you ever admit to dating this woman!? He even used the word "gorgeous" to describe her. I guess Tony Banks' vision hasn't gotten any better since the NFL. I'm just so disappointed in Dirk. I really am.



Love Your Life
by Conor Levis

Love your life, especially if you were at the House of Blues in Boston on Wednesday night to see Atmosphere perform. There were a lot of things to love about the show. First, for anyone who hasn't been to the House of Blues in Boston yet, I highly recommend it as a venue. I love the way it's built. It's wide open in the middle in front of the stage for everyone to stand. On each side are two levels of standing room balconies right above the stage for people who don't want to be on the floor level. And to top it all off, there are bars in every corner of the venue. The only flaw is the price of beer. I spent $6 on a regular 12 oz. can of Miller Lite! With the tip, I could have bought a 6-pack at the store for less money. I was livid at first but it became less of an issue after I got a few in me.

As for the show, the opening act Attracted to Gods had the crowd warmed up with a little Bluesy Rock, including a nice cover of "House of the Rising Sun". I enjoyed their set as it was refreshing to hear some good live Blues music for a change. Brother Ali continued where they left off and brought a lot of energy to the building with his set. Ant came out early to spin for Brother Ali and it got the crowd going a bit. Ali didn't get too political on us either which was a good thing. By the way, Ant is the biggest chain smoker of all-time. The guy constantly had a cigarette in his mouth through Brother Ali's set and Slug's set. As soon as he finished one, immediately another one went in. It was quite a sight to see. Then Slug came on and killed it with his set and everybody went crazy.

The best part of the night though was the actual atmosphere, not to be confused with the group. It was like a giant party in there, everyone was dancing...just having a good time. Even Slug commented on it a few times how this was the best crowd he's seen since LA or back home in Minnesota. I really believe him too because it was one of the best crowds I have been a part of. It was crazy, that's the only way to describe it. You could tell Atmosphere performed more songs than they intended on because of this. Overall, I give the experience an A+. It was a great show all around. Next up is Third Eye Blind at Hampton Beach tonight. You better believe we'll be partying like it's 1997.
