The House of Blues was jam-packed Thursday night with all different kinds of people, from hipsters to members of the corporate world.

The night started off with singer, acoustic guitarist and keyboardist Eric Hutchinson, who produced a surprisingly full sound considering he was only backed by an electric bassist and a drummer. The audience was very receptive to Hutchinson, but by 10 p.m. everyone was ready for G. Love & Special Sauce.

Jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker once said, "Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your own wisdom." Parker's music recreates his experiences, thoughts and wisdom for the listener.

The same is not true for jangly dream-pop band Elkhart, whose contemporaries like Mazzy Star and Low with their minimalistic songs straddle the line between ambience and boring the audience.

I was the kid in first grade who replied "Baseball," when asked what my favorite season was.

God didn't give me the talent to play in college or at the professional level. But I do feel He gave me an incredible mind for the sport, which isn't really helpful unless I want to bug everyone I am watching a game with or I'm going to be a sports writer.

At least I'm not wasting what I do have.

When the men's basketball team takes the court Saturday night at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum, it will be the last time in front of the home crowd for two seniors.
