A big tip of the New Era 2007 Polyester Cap to Gabe, who correctly ID’d San Antonio Spurs F Matt Bonner as being amongst those in attendance for Shearwater’s impressive set at the Mohawk yesterday. This might be the most impressive collision of local art & athleticism since the local paper erroneously implied Britt Daniel and Cedric Benson were hanging out together.
Still, Gabe’s more observant than I. Aside from seeing Jim White on 11th Street (which to be fair, wasn’t all too different from seeing Jim White on the streets of other major cities around the world) my personal highlight was witnessing a starstruck young person ask Matt Valentine if he was Chris Robinson. Bummer road, indeed!
I’m surprised Bonner was there. I didn’t know he was that cool 😛
I remember seeing Bonner on Canadian TV talking about how much he likes going to see bands.
I forget which bands he talked about, except this band whose name I can’t remember.
They’re called something like “LCD Soundsystem” (but not that band), some long name with “sound” in it. They are this Canadian reggae type band from Raptor City that is no good.
Maybe he said he liked Metallica, too.
I will check my Bonner archives and get back to you.
Sincerely,
Matt Bonner’s Girlfriend (Or stalker, whatever you call it)
