If you're in the greater Cincinnati-land area tomorrow before the game, you can check out the Screaming Mimes concert:

CAN SCREAMING MIMES SAVE THE PLANET??

Find out THIS SATURDAY, April 21st at P&G Pavillion in Sawyer Point, down by the river in Cincinnati! EARTH DAY 2007 is back and they've finally recovered enough from our first appearance to invite us again! This year we will be rockin' the stage with another incredible collection of bands, with the day topping off with The Smithereens! We take the stage at 4:00 so pack up your good vibes, a little sunscreen and a fuzzy blanket and hear us crash boom bang through some songs from our upcoming CD! And it's all free!

Here's the main stage band schedule:
2:00 Ellery
4:00 Screaming Mimes (yay!)
5:30 Peppertown
6:45 The Smithereens

Besides the main music stage there's lots of really cool vendors and great food and you can learn a lot about mulch. I know I'm bringing my camera for the Recycled Fashion Show. Shout song titles at The Smithereens (I'm screaming for “Too Much Passion”). Then you can walk a block and take in a Reds game if you like! Who says nothing happens downtown?

Tell Dave I said hi.

The Reds try to bounce back tonight against the Phillies. Say what you will about Jerry Narron, but he's not talking about putting his number one starter in the bullpen. I mean, how much would it suck to see Aaron Harang pitching in the seventh inning?

…um…yeah.
