Aww. I read about a coolest beers list (via slashfood) and I think of Leon. Dude, I miss you. Please come home already! This list had a bunch of wheat beers and belgian style ales.

Phew, I made it.
Baby, it was in the stars for me last night. Last minute-style, I came across an extra ticket yesterday and I was able to find a co-worker who really, really wanted to go to the show last night. So off we were. We arrived just before Dungen (dune-yen!) set up. They were great. Only 4 guys, but fully capable of reproducing the hefty psych of their newer CD. My only complaint is that they played their "hit" second and ended in a boring psych-freak out.
Go! Team was next. Dungen wore me out, or maybe it was just the contact high I got. So I started getting pretty tired. I even fell asleep on my feet a couple of times, just like a cow. About mid-set, we went to check out the upstairs and look for seats. I really like Great American Music hall as a venue. Luckily the balcony behind the sound guy was pretty vacant, so we cozied up to a table and couple of chairs. Go! Team was so great. I was expecting 16 people on stage, but they only had 6, which included 2 drummers who played simultaneous beats. The singer was amazing. She rapped old-school style, she cheered, she sang. She also danced up a storm in her little yellow cheerleader skirt. During the encore, she busted out all these crazy dance moves: high kicks, some riverdance shit and then she did the running man! I was completely floored.
I was dead tired when I got home. Thank goodness my co-worker was there to help keep me awake the whole drive back.

Leon's Berlin report
So last night for dinner I had pizza spinaci, which was pizza with
Gorgonzola and spinach. It was OK, and instead of slices, it was cut
into squares and eaten with a fork.
People like to drink beer outdoors here in Berlin, and bier is cheap,
but all the German bier I've had so far has been pretty boring, but
it's pretty much all lager, so you might like some of it. I mainly
like it because it's always served in a super huge glass (1 liter).
There are a lot of bad 80's American sit coms on TV (Alf, Erkel,
etc...) Alf's voice in Germany sounds more like an old Russian
dude...pretty funny I watched an episode of mythbusters dubbed in
German. They are into horrible pop music from the US and Germany
(judging by the top ten video count down I watched). American Idol is
called "Deutschland Superstar", but I havent seen it.
Okay, I'll let him tell his own story when he gets back. I'm just too busy to post anything else today. That and I didn't do much yesterday except walk the dog, fend off a dude trying to get me to "hollaback" and waking up at 3am terrified of the noises the ice maker was making.
