...So yeah, Maynard came to the Whole Foods next door to my house to
sign bottles with his business partner. I took one look at the line and
headed home. Rumor has it, and I have no idea if this is true or not,
that he was getting a bit testy with anyone who mentioned Tool or tried
to get him to sign anything besides a bottle. Now, I understand his
reasoning but seriously, the guy doesn't think people are really coming
out because of his wine? He's never struck me as delusional before.

Shame about his attitude, but the wine's tasty. I cracked open a bottle
of his 2005 Primer Paso last week (at about 10pm EST on 4/4, you
know why, Blair), and it was really enjoyable.

On one hand I can understand him wanting the focus to be on the
reason he's doing the signing - the wine. On the other hand...well,
lighten up MJK - fame does have it's cost. Getting annoyed about
it isn't going to change it.

plus, who the fuck does a bottle signing other than a rock star!!!???

I cant imagine anyone other winemakers doing this, and if they did I
cant imagine anyone else wanting their bottle signed!!

The only reason it works is because MJK is from Tool, so he shouldn't be
surprised when people ask him about tool.

My husband was saying it would have been fun to go (if it wasn't on the
other side of Phoenix from us... and we knew it would be a mob) but to
go up to the table and tell Maynard, "no, we don't want your signature.
You're too new at this. We want a real wine maker's signature." And
then get his partner's signature.

That would have been funny. I think even Nardo would have chuckled
a little at that.

I was tempted to say "Hey wait... don't I know you from Mr. Show?
Weren't you Ronnie Dobbs's buddy? You make wine too? Cool!"

Hell yeah. Should be up 2-0, but the consolation is that we've dominated 5 of 6
periods. Unless something changes drastically, this will be a 5 game series!

Just like my prediction in the Flyers group said :) Then again, if there
is any team I shouldn't be counting my chickens with, its these guys.

I gotta say, I really like Ovechkin... but I hope to see him lose and
lose badly. Flyers in 5.

I like Ovechkin too - best player in the league. He's the total
package, everything I like in a hockey player.

That said, knock on wood, I agree with Blair...Flyers in Five.

After what happened Monday night, it's over - the team looked exhausted in the 2nd period,
I can't imagine they're going to be able to play at a competitive level in game 7 tonight.

It's better than last year, but not acceptable.

I really think they'll win tonight. I'm not sure why... but it won't
matter. It won't make me any less nauseous and upset and it sure as hell
won't get them into the 3rd round.

As nausea-inducing as it was, I liked the outcome.

Knock knock! ;P Sorry Ryan... the Caps played a hell of a series and it
just came down to luck in the end. They have a seriously bright future
with Ovechkin, Green, and all.

Great game... and series. I'm a lukewarm hockey fan, but I was
honestly glued to my TV for these games. Wish Alex had taken that
last shot instead of passing... ah, well. Both the NHL and NBA
playoffs have been awesome thus far.
