Shapefile Connection and Man Man/Yeasayer concert review

The Shapefile Connection is a website that has mapped out points of agency's that provide GIS data. The points have a link to the websites where the data may be downloaded. It is a great idea to map these out. I've always envisioned something like this within GIS organizations I've worked for. Wouldn't it be great to have a map that shows where you have data for that is stored on your servers and have a link or path to the data?

This Friday I went to the Man Man/Yeasayer concert at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple. It was great to see Yeasayer after listening to their record and hearing about their great shows. Man Man was entertaining but I'm not sure I will go out and buy their record. That said I would go see them live again. All in all the music was great and was worth the ticket price. Unfortunately, the concert was sponsored by Boost Mobile and would have preferred to have payed more money for tickets rather than seeing ads projected behind the band and being bombarded with ads in the mezzanine and bathrooms. The Brooklyn Masonic Temple could turn out to be a great venue once they get the sound/lighting nailed down.
