david is right - we go every year, and they'll fill any prior year's mug. i was there thursday and can confirm it to be no different this year.

in fact, there were several folks with full liter steins that they'd fill, too - though they doubled the purchase price on those (the addison mugs hold a little over half a liter).

a tip for consumers: don't confuse "natural and organic" as "green." they waste a lot of packaging and plastic bags, if you ask me.

otherwise, it was a reasonably pleasant shopping experience. i kind of like fiesta for produce, though.

those playground pieces are a source of many fond memories for me, and i consider myself quite lucky to have had the opportunity to play with my 2 year old daughter on the same.

we'll miss them when they disappear.

FYI: i've only chatted cursorily with them (so don't claim to know definitively), but everything I've seen thus far refers to them as "Lifters", not "The Lifters".

they play a great show, too.

according to an internet inflation calculator, $27M in 1980 equates to around $76M in 2007 dollars.

i'm just sayin'.

"Reunion Arena only cost around $10M."

what? i'd LOVE to see evidence of that. references i've seen were closer to $27M in 1980 dollars.

they're fixing sidewalks in our neighborhood, but i'm sometimes at a loss to understand the logic behind their choices. in front of our house, they removed at least one "square" from our sidwalk that was in perfectly good shape - with no level disparities at either side - while leaving, just a few feet away, a square that is cracked all the way across.

i am very glad to see they're replacing all the corners with ramps, though. that's something that we parents of young children (and the wagons/bikes associated with them) really like to see.

i believe the breakdown was: auteur = 1-2 team members, guerrilla = 3-5 team members, and hollywood = 6+ team members.

note that actors don't count as team members unless they also serve as crew (holding mics, cameras, writing, etc).
