A lot of bad things happened to a lot of good people.
Still, we dug around and managed to come up with a few highlights:
JANUARY:
Daniel Lanois at Massey Hall.
The man puts on a quality rock 'n' roll show.
FEBRUARY:
Lux Interior of the Cramps dropped dead.
Okay, I guess that's more of a bad thing, really, but it gives me an excuse to post a Cramps link.
MARCH:
44 New styles of Gotham from Hoefler and Frere-Jones.
Love that "Condensed."
APRIL:
Pizza and wings with the family at Sammy's Pizzeria in, N.F., N.Y.
MAY:
Thoughtful and creative logo design appears to be back in style.
Check out these beauties on Francesco Mugnai's blog.
JUNE:
A particularly transcendent roast beef sandwich. Horseradish, mayo, swiss cheese, and romaine on wood-oven-baked sourdough bread.
Never underestimate the power of a good sandwich.
JULY:
Midnight rides on the mighty GS850.JULY:
AUGUST:
Finally, definitive proof that we don't have the world's most screwed up government: Jesse Jackson is crowned Prince of the Ivory Coast, succeeding the previous monarch, Michael Jackson.
I'm not making this up.
SEPTEMBER:
As we approached the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Wall coming down, newly released documents revealed a fascinating back story to the drama.
Thatcher, Mitterand, the Vatican, even beloved freedom fighter Lech Walessa, were all opposed to the wall coming down, and fought hard to stop it. At the same time, the Russians knew it was inevitable and were even considering tearing it down themselves.
OCTOBER:
I was a runner-up in the "Take a Picture" Veer contest.
NOVEMBER:
Watched Stephen King and David Cronenburg swap stories at the Canon Theatre. Some serious brain power on display that night.
Even managed to snag a signed book.
DECEMBER:
DECEMBER:
Grilled steaks in the fireplace, hillbilly style.
So there you have it.
Some good did come out of 09, but all in all, I can't say I'm sad to see the bastard go.So there you have it.
However, 2010's going to be a good one. I can smell it.
