some things I know, and some things I don't

Had a lazy friday, just watched some of the rockies game then an old dvdtron. Stephanie is training for a triathlon so I joined her on a 28 mile bike ride to lyons and back saturday morning. Later on I headed to j&d's hut and we walked over to the SoBo (south boulder) Fest, sponsored by the southern sun, so there was plenty of beer flowing, and hippie-type bands playing. Everyone else had the same idea, it was crazy crowded down there, and we saw almost everyone we knew from boulder. Crashed at stephanie's that night then headed back to j&d's to get my car and hang out the rest of the afternoon sunday. Caught the sopranos finale and here are my thoughts:

Was Tony killed at the end? Maybe so, maybe not. In the first episode of this mini season tony and bobby were in a boat shootin the shit and bobby asks tony what he thinks getting shot is like. And tony says, "It's like you are sitting there talking then everything goes black..." So when the ep just kind of went black, that could have been his death at the hands of any one of the seemingly familiar extras milling about the restaurant. For those of you paying attention (someone clued me into this, I am not this die-hard of a fan) the man in the Member's Only jacket was Phil Leotardo's nephew, the two gang banger kids were the ones who staged the first hit on Tony, and the truck driver was the brother of the DVD truck driver that got killed (he had to identify the body). Now all of those extras could have merely been a symbolic gesture that tony has to watch his step or whatever, or he could have been remembering those instances, and it was just life goes on and the viewer is left to, "don't stop believing". That would play nicely into the possibility of a future movie.

But perhaps more interesting was the new series with a dumb name that came up next, John from Cincinnati, loosely about a family of surfers and some random dude named john that seems to have a knack for imitation. And even though the cast read like a VH-1 episode of where are they now (rebecca de mornay, luke perry, ed o'neil, luiz guzman), it created enough curiosity for me to watch it again.
