Ladies and Gentlemen...The Blues

The first time I watched the Twilight movie, at midnight, opening day (not my choice) I had the knee jerk reaction of hating it. I mean, I'm a dude and I'm too hardcore for non-human-eating vampires, right? So I watched it last night, totally open-minded and objectively...and I've come to a conclusion. It's not a very good movie...at all. When Edward Roadrunner's Bella to the top of the mountain to show her his sparkliness...frankly, it makes me want to puke. The only bright spots are the bubbly/empty headed friend Jessica, the mysteriously cute Alice and Mike Dexter (aka Peter Facinelli) as Carlisle. Otherwise, the rest of the cast fails miserably...and the Director Catherine Hardwicke missed the mark by a mile. What's with the glitter?

Sammy's is the best burger place in Provo...hands down. This little hole in the wall, just off 100 W and Center has fresh food, great service and an awesome vibe. It's a little pricey for a burger joint ($6 for most specialty burgers) but it's worth every penny. I went with the Sammy's Masterpiece, a brilliant quarter pound concoction with bacon, grilled onions, sauteed mushrooms, provolone, sweet bbq sauce and guacamole!!! It is a mess, but it is fantastic. Sammy's gets the rating of UV's Finest.

Twilight returns tonight with the Black Keys (featured with the Song Du Jour). This amazing two piece blues band is worth the drive to Salt Lake tonight. The festivities and booths will open at 5:00 PM at the Gallivan, and the opening act Human Highway, will hit the stage around 7.

About the Song Du Jour: "Thickfreakness" The Black Keys

Gritty, gritty, gritty...that's the only way I can possibly explain this jam from the Ohio based blues duo. They are the real deal and every time I hear, them I become more hooked. Come hear this and many more songs from this sick group tonight, for free, at the Gallivan Center (239 S Main) in Salt Lake.

Okey dokey y'all. I'm out for the day...have a good one and I'll see you tomorrow.
