While "chubby funster" Ricky Gervais (nickname supplied by British tabloids), also had New York City on his brief tour itinerary, Danish rock duo The Raveonettes picked the Make Music Festival in Pasadena June 21st as their only North American appearance of the summer. For the uninitiated, the Raveonettes combine close two part harmonies with fuzzy distortion guitars, with catchy and sexy results. If you don't believe me, check out their latest album, the aptly titled LUST LUST LUST. Adding interest to this performance was the fact that the Raveonettes usual singer Sharin Foo was pregnant and was replaced by her sister! They sounded great, and I was glad I made the trek, even though the show was at 5:00 in the afternoon and if it was easily a 100 degrees in Old Town Pasadena that day. For the record, I also travelled to this event via the Metro Red and Gold Line trains.

The Finer Points of mid-Missouri: Part Two.
Jefferson City Missouri has an airport. It has no commercial airline service. Nonetheless, the terminal has a hertz rental car counter inside (not recommended) and a restaurant (highly recommended). Best pan-fried chicken in town, hands down, and the country ham is good too. $7.99 gets all you can eat family style chicken.
Jefferson is making a note to eat pan-fried chicken in Jefferson City soon.
