steven backer: Allman Brothers '09 Beacon Run
http://oscills.blogspot.com/2009/03/allman-brothers-09-beacon-run.html
Sunday, March 1, 2009. Allman Brothers '09 Beacon Run. Anyone in the NY area should definitely not miss this - annual ABB. 160;at the newly remodeled Beacon. I saw them at the Beacon (before the facelift! There on April 7th, 2007. Was in the area for work, and ran solo to the show, which was absolutely amazing. Everyone freaked about Bernie Williams on guitar, but I was blown away (as usual) by Derek Trucks. Go see these shows if you can! TEN NIGHTS IN MARCH TO CELEBRATE FOUR DECADES OF LIVE MAGIC. SFGat...

steven backer: The French Connection
http://oscills.blogspot.com/2009/05/french-connection.html
Thursday, May 28, 2009. Our trip fell over Whit Monday. So naturally we had the day off of work. We managed to get in our longest stretch of vacation away from work yet - 6 days, Friday to Wednesday - which is almost laughable by European standards. What an amazing 6 days. While traveling from Bordeaux, our flight destination, to Dordogne, our.destination,we stopped off in the famous wine region and commune o. More pictures from Badefols-Sur-Dordogne here. Was just another "duck leg in the confit", if I ...

http://oscills.blogspot.com/2009/03/southbound.html
Sunday, March 22, 2009. During my recent East Coast reunion. 160;tour, I was fortunate enough to be able to swing by my old stomping grounds for a few days - North Carolina. 160;It was wonderful to be able to see a few family members and friends, as well as to introduce Jen to a little bit of NC. A few pictures can be found here. Including one of Prissy Polly's BBQ. 160;in rural Kernersville. Which makes one of the best Eastern style. BBQ pork sandwiches I've ever had!

http://oscills.blogspot.com/2009/03/hampton.html
Saturday, March 14, 2009. Yes, we went. From Germany. All it took was three flights, a rental car, and a little luck in the lottery. And it was absolutely worth it. We hung with friends - those near and dear, nepharious, and new. We basked in the amazing energy of the weekend. We lived the life again. We ate Virginia BBQ*. My last shows were Vegas '04. 160;(my few pics. 160;Perhaps not quite as "disappointing" as Conventry. And I remember Mike. 160;saying "NO", whatever his (or other's? 160;(pay fo...

Sunday, April 26, 2009. Hiking in the Ith. A very nice hike in the nearby Ith "mountains" of Northern Germany. Some pics here.

steven backer: DB, take two
http://oscills.blogspot.com/2009/04/db-take-two.html
Monday, March 23, 2009. DB, take two. Hot off the heels of Hampton. We found ourselves attending another show, back home in Hannover. At the Aegi Theater. Would be our first musical experience in our still-quite-new German hometown - not counting the manhole cover that sings. Or anything related to work. The theater was quite nice, not too far from the Maschsee. I had previously seen Byrne play. The show was similar to the one I had seen in SF, characterized by a performance of most of the new material f...

steven backer: Being, Below Buda's Belly
http://oscills.blogspot.com/2009/05/being-below-budas-belly.html
Sunday, May 24, 2009. Being, Below Buda's Belly. We took a trip to Budapest. In May. Hungary was the furthest east I had ever traveled in the world. It certainly differed from our home base of Northern Germany, but was still distinctly Western from a global perspective. Before our trip, I ran across this interesting article. Which sheds a little light on the state of modern Budapest. Our trip began with a rainy but pleasant departure from Berlin. More scenes from underground can be seen here.

http://oscills.blogspot.com/2009/02/den-haag-blaag.html
Sunday, February 22, 2009. We took a long weekend trip to Den Haag. A modern city not nearly as overrun with tourists as others nearby (.). It was a lovely and relaxing weekend. Finally, some decent sushi in Europe at: NOH. Absolutely wonderful Sicilian meal on V-Day at: Vino e Cucina. 160;(thanks for taking such good care of us! Cannolo and Muscato - molto buono). A nice walk from the city center. To the beach " Scheveningen. And of course, nice shopping (Dutch candy is so sweet and scrumptous).
