23. Just to add a personal point, Monday night we were at an Eagles tribute that was part of the Monday Night Concert Series we attend and the band announced it. The next day it was in the newspaper. And, while I am not going, I should point out that the current version of the Eagles is (or will be, I have no idea of the date) on tour and will be playing in Phoenix.

And a thanks to Big for noting Upsala. I knew some grads, and remember when it closed. A Lutheran school, FWIW.
