Getting Wet and watching Diners, Drive Ins, Dives.

Today it rained all day. We didn't have any food for dinner. I went out with the help of the Hembrows' discarded NYC street vendor bought umbrella. It kept the rain off my head, but the lack of any discernible drainage on any sidewalk meant wading through puddles all the way there and back. I was, though, looking forward to an announcement from our favorite local gig promoter. Knowing that nearby locals Guided By Voices have a new album out in January and are playing some dates in Europe in May, it seemed not too much of a leap to think that they might stop here in Columbus sometime soon. Apparently Los Campasinos were the band... I don't hate them (I'll leave that to Kristen), but they certainly weren't what I was hoping for.

After our semi-regular dose of Seinfeld re-runs, it's a Monday night marathon of Diners, Drive-In's and Dives. Your larger than life host Guy Fieri gets around the US and even a bit of Canada trying to find surprisingly good/crazy food in not necessarily great surroundings. One particularly crazy place tonight in St Paul MN, featured STUFFED (with blue cheese) burgers called Juicy Blucys. Or, if that sounds a bit much, how about some Spam Bites... Featuring: spam, cream cheese and pickle breaded and deep fried.

Sadly, there haven't been any featured in Columbus so far, but I've already got a couple marked for our first trip to Cleveland in the new year. Check here for a video of the first DDD place we got to in Washington DC.
