I have rounded up the FFBs I'm aware of so far this Friday at my blog, for your link-stroking pleasure. Tomorrow, with luck, I hit the overpriced but nonetheless enticing (and Abbott-studded) NoirCon. And will even be able to see while doing so.

I played Bill Conti's theme music (badly) too often while in Andy Soucy's Londonderry (NH) Jr/Sr High School Band (stalwarts of the Rose Parade years after my family decamped to Hawaii...my mother was a co-founder of the Friends of the Band, which helped keep the band provisioned in those late '70s New Hampshire public sector years...Obama was toking with the Choom Gang and playing decent/nothing-special basketball at the next mother of my secondary-school soul while I was blatting on trombone...and I would again in junion year at Punahou) to ever take the sequence quite the way it was intended.

I love walking (or running) around that area when in Philly.

Would also love to see the Barnes one more time outside the city before it takes its place nearby.
