Boffo Bovine Bastille Day (ROCK) Blowout

My band Bald Cow will perform at Jimmy’s, in beautiful Hyde Park (near the University of Chicago) this Saturday, July 14, 2007, at 7:00 p.m. This is only our second show since 1990. Our 2004 show was “reviewed” here. We have practiced a few times and I think I can hit most of the notes. (Our MySpace page has some songs recorded back in 1990, and two videos from the 2004 show.) The musical style is traditional 1970s punk rock, with some pretensions to grandiosity.

Checking in

A view from one of my son-in-law’s window, where he has now been joined by my middle daughter. My other son-in-law is spending his time looking at his wife, my older daughter who is entering the last weeks of pregnancy.

The Chicagoboyz Bug of the Week!

isn't he cute!


Answers to anticipated questions:

-About 3″.

-I haven’t identified the species. (Some kind of Sphinx Moth larva? Does anyone know?)

-The head is on the Left.

-I don’t know what the green thing is. It looks like an egg.

There is a ton of info on the Web about caterpillars (e.g., here and here). However, there are so many distinct varieties that identification is difficult if you don’t already know where to look.
