soapbox

I dunno how many of you have been keeping up with the NBA’s recent dress-code fiasco, but here’s a great suggestion for player reaction.

[Quick recap: Commish David Stern/some owners/marketpeople didn't like the the "thug" look that some players were going for, so over-reacted and instituted a relatively harsh dress code. Some kind of dress code might not be a bad idea, but both the policy and the way it was implemented could use a lot of improvement.]

(1) Willie Nelson is playing down at UNH, 8pm. Whittemore Center Arena, tix ~$30-40.

(2) For those not going, the 4th annual Bonfire-Party-at-Kara-and-Dave’s. Directions here, but you basically go North on Rt-10 for ~15 miles, turn Right and go to the end of Sawyer Brook Rd, and there will probably be some carpools. Grilling of food, drinking of beer, and generally hanging out.
