    Originally my choice was between him, or the VH1 show as that Saturday night would be my only free night to see him with his schedule here.

    But now I'm missing both. :(

    However have fun, dude 3 times! That's pretty awesome.

    Seriously? Have you seen The Office? The original one, I mean?

    Or extras? That one was pretty popular here in the US, moreso than the original office I believe.

    Orig, we were seeing him Saturday, but then Supergrass came up, so I got us tix for Friday. Then the VH1 gig was announced, so Supergrass was 86'd.

    Supergrass? Really?

    Man I just never could get into them. I've sat through a bunch of their sets too back in the day when I would go see Paloalto all the time and Supergrass would headline their shows. They just never did it for me.

    I think you made the right choice on x'ing them out of the picture though. :)

    If you saw the anniversary concert of Diana's death at Wembley, you would've seen him making a total idiot of himself.

    Supergrass was more for the girlfriend. I have seen them, and it does get boring. I loved PaloAlto...I am surprised they never made it big

    Yeah same here. I really thought they'd be going somewhere. The local fans at all the shows were a great bunch too and the band was always great about talking to everyone.

    I know James still plays shows locally, I see him pop up at the Viper Room every now and again, he's still great, but not the same without the band behind him.

    Hmm...he was Dr. McPhee I believe in Night at the Museum. That's probably the last...best attempt I've got. :p

    He was also in Stardust.

    This reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Bart/Lisa are playing a "christian" board game with Flanders and his sons. Ned asks Bart a biblical trivia question, and he has to shout a bunch of clues at Bart. Bart still doesn't know the answer, so he just guesses "Jesus".

    It is sad that I can reference a Simpson's episode to most real-life occurances!

    To further clear it up:
