Renowned tattoo artist Don Ed Hardy is speaking at Mills College (5000 MacArthur Blvd.) in Oakland tonight at 7 pm in the Concert Hall.

We’ve been on tour of sorts this week, but since it’s for our day job we regret to inform you that there’s nothing very rock about it. We are happy to say that we’re meeting some fellow –ists along the way though. Last night we met and chatted with Kyle and Nicole from DCist. We commiserated with Kyle about the burden of keeping up too many blogs (check out his excellent music blog Information Leafblower) and listened with envy about his plans to cover the Pitchfork Music Festival this weekend. Tonight we’ll be meeting some Chicagoists, which makes us think we should create some sort of dorky visualization out of which –ists we’ve met/haven’t yet met, something like those cardboard maps for collecting state quarters.

We keep missing the rock-n-roll celebrity sightings around this city. Last week Kirk Hammett (Metallica) and Robert Trujillo (Suicidal Tendencies) were at Rock It Room on the night of the Madame Legal show we told you about. And then after playing two nights at the spacious and refined Palace of Fine Arts, Ryan Adams stole over to the tiny 12 Galaxies on Thursday night to jam with Phil Lesh. Friends who've known him or met him tell us he's obnoxious/crazy/The Devil, but we still love Ryan's music and wish we could have seen him at this show. Reader Leanne sent us the scoop:
