Morrissey to play Fillmore residency:

Morrissey is the latest act to announce a residency at the Fillmore. The former Smiths front man is scheduled to play the club on Sept. 23, 24, 26 and 27 before continuing on a tour that also includes a 10-day stand at the Hollywood Palladium and five at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom.

I wanna go.

I’ve posted a new Restaurant Review: First Crush, in San Francisco. This was our pre-show dinner before seeing Avenue Q at the Orpheum.

2007: We’re banking as much of this year’s vacation time as possible to save up for next year.
2008: 15-night Disney Cruise, aboard the Magic, repositioning from Florida to Los Angeles via the Panama Canal.
2009: Very likely a group WDW trip with friends who have been waiting for their youngest to be old enough to enjoy it.
2010: Vancouver for the Winter Olympics.

For 2011, we’re considering either Japan or Europe. We had to get our passports for the Disney Cruise next year (and I’m still waiting for mine, 15 weeks into the 10-12 week estimated return) so we’ll have them if we do want to go international.

Man Smuggles Monkey Into NYC Airport:

A man smuggled a monkey onto an airplane Tuesday, stashing the furry fist-size primate under his hat until passengers spotted it perched on his ponytail, an airline official said.

The monkey escapade began in Lima, Peru, late Monday, when the man boarded a flight to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., said Spirit Airlines spokeswoman Alison Russell. After landing Tuesday morning, the man waited several hours before catching a connecting flight to LaGuardia Airport.

During the flight, people around the man noticed that the marmoset, which normally lives in forests and eats fruit and insects, had emerged from underneath his hat, Russell said.

‘Other passengers asked the man if he knew he had a monkey on him,’ she said.

I’m just wondering how that conversation went. Pardon me, sir, but are you aware…
