Hot August Nights

So, is anyone else freaking the fuck out after last night's Six Feet Under? I'll say no more, but it was... unexpected.

So it's August, which is nice, if a little depressing. It's hot as hell, and the harvest (and summer's end) are fast approaching. The month, originally called Sextillus was renamed in honor of the Roman emperor Augustus Ceasar. Actually, the history is very interesting.

August is also...

National Immunization Awareness Month, National Parks Month, National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month, Cataract Awareness Month, Eye Injury Prevention Month, Medic Alert Month, Pain Awareness Month, Psoriasis Awareness Month, Spinal Muscular Atrophy Awareness Month, National Road Victim Month, National Catfish Month, National Golf Month, National Eye Exam Month, National Water Quality Month, Romance Awareness Month, Peach Month, Foot Health Month, Hispanic Heritage Month, National Hair Loss Awareness Month, Family Fun Month, International Air Travel Month, and National Child Support Enforcement Month (That means you, Sean "Puffy" Combs).

Also August appropriate...Neil Diamond is coming to Madison Square Garden. I wanna go. He still has a reputation for being a real demon live, despite his advanced age (he's 66).

**UPDATE** Watch Will Farrell as Neil Diamond and try not to pee your pants with joy. (Quicktime)

More on this later, but the massive Across the Pond music festival is coming to Keyspan Park in Coney Island on October 1-2.
