Hmmmm … wonder why there doesn't seem to be much city news this morning? That's not to say there's nothing going on. The Hustle has your board and commission rundown below the fold.

With every photographer and reporter in town wondering where they'll be when Pres. Barack Obama visits town on Monday, it's easy to forget that there's still a week of news to digest.

I got excited about catcher Jason Castro … then he got promoted to Houston. I got giddy about first basemen Brett Wallace … then Berkman got traded and Wallace got promoted. Does this mean I'll refrain from acting like a school girl now that pitcher Jordan Lyles was promoted to Round Rock? Nope, this guy's here to stay for a bit, so let's start the hype machine!

As a 37-year-old mother of two, I was sort of shocked to realize I was among the younger attendees at last night's Crowded House show at Stubb's.

I stopped blogging about Work of Art because it was starting to irritate me, but now that the show is down to the final three, I’m intrigued again. Left are Abdi, Miles, and Peregrine—two hipsters in desperate need of a brush and Abdi, dear Abdi; bright, funny, and genuine, Abdi.
