Right now, I should be reading up on Vygotsky and his theories involving the Zone of Proximal Development. I should be writing about how this ZPD relates to how children learn and different ways that we can implement these theories into our schools so that we can achieve greater success and become a stronger and better city/state/nation/world/species.

But you know what?
I've been listening to this new Rip Van Hippy album for 2 weeks straight and it is time for me to talk about it.

This was a really interesting show. Jackpot tends to put on amazing performances and this was no different. I had never listened to The Black Lips; this was more something to do on a Tuesday night. An all acoustic performance, I felt like sitting around a campfire tapping my feet to whoever was singing on stage.
Rather short, this was a good way to break up the week and it was free too. I enjoyed seeing the packed house for a somewhat popular grunge band. I had heard before that they were notorious for crazy live performances, but apparently, an in-store does not call for that.
