Twelve hours from now, just like I did last year, I’ll be run/trotting up 80 floors for the kids. It’s a great cause to support Children’s Memorial Hospital and I really enjoyed being a part of our team of family and friends and a few furry friends as you can see above. And [...]

Ah, memories. It’s one of the reasons why we love going to concerts. And during our recent Weezer concert adventures I recorded the video above, and ever since that night I’ve been wondering about and exploring how our brains and concert fan emotions have been processing that unforgettable moment.

Continuing our exploration of the primal connection between one of my favorite TV shows and live music, I’d like to share a moment that happened during tonight’s season six episode of Dexter.
