The house lights go down, and the title card appears over the scene: Young Frankenstein! Overall: an _excellent_ show, and we got to see it _first_ (nyeah-nyeah)! <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2007\/08\/08\/mel-brooks-young-frankenstein\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>2006<\/strong><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2006\/08\/08\/vegas-thursday\/\">Vegas: Thursday<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">Okay.

While we were there, we heard a very nice track that caught our ear, with a slow, driving tempo, pulsing drums, and using William Blake's The Tyger as its lyrics. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2005\/08\/08\/tyger-tyger-burning-bright\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2005\/08\/08\/the-worst-one-of-all\/\">The Worst One of All<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">Scoble's looking for websites that install nasty crap onto your computer to see how Vista responds.

Pretty amazing. <a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2005\/08\/08\/pre-release-bloopers\/\">&#x27A1;<\/a><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>2004<\/strong><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/2004\/08\/08\/national-preparedness-month-september-2004\/\">National Preparedness Month: September 2004<\/a> <span class=\"today_excerpt\">Coming this September, on the three-year anniversary of the 9\/11 attacks: National Preparedness Month.
