Awesome weekend for food, music, and hockey!

What a terrific weekend! First, and probably most important, U of M swept Michigan State to advance to the CCHA finals this weekend. Go Blue! Go Louie Caporusso and Steve Kampfer and Carl Hagelin and Matt Rust and Luke Glendening and David Wohlberg and Shawn Hunwick and the rest of the Michigan Wolverines!

Second, what an awesome show at The Ark. Band of Heathens, out of Austin, TX., delivered an outstanding concert. Part jam band, part alt country poster child, this band transported me to Nashville, one of my favorite cities, where I could picture myself with a cowboy hat and a beer just having a great time. Well done, Heathens. Visit the Heathens at http://www.bandofheathens.com. For dinner before the show, we visited the Jolly Pumpkin and sat upstairs for the first time. Great food. I had the chick pea panini and a Bam Biere, my perennial dining companion had the Asian Salad. Great service and excellent food. The Bam Biere is not to be missed. http://www.jollypumpkin.com/.

Sunday brought our first visit to Bill's. Amazing coney dogs and root beer. Summer is coming. It is! Yummy!
