1. the Truckers remain the best goddamned rock show I've seen this year.
   
   
2. The Dexateens, who didn't blow me away with their studio stuff, are completely fantastic live -- interesting sonically and visually, tight harmonies, great guitar work. Plus they're all adorable handsy twenty-somethings with guitars. You know I love those.
   
   
3. Shonna Tucker is all of the following things: hot as hell; fantastically talented; bad ass; adored by all five of the little boys in the Dexateens, plus also both her lead guitarists. I'm gonna write Shonna/Spencer Smith and it's gonna be amazing, because Shonna very obviously enjoys the affection of younger men. \o/
   
   
4. Mike Cooley is one of the most exceptional guitar players I've ever watched. He also has a collection of ugly flowered shirts to rival Ryan Ross's.
   
   
5. At one point during "You and Your Crystal Meth", Patterson was flailing around screaming like Patterson does, and every eye in the place was on him, except for mine, because I couldn't stop staring at Cooley's hands on the fretboard of his guitar. And then Mike Cooley, goddamn motherfucking Mike Cooley, looked down and caught me staring at him with my mouth half open. Because I'm kind of a total doof like that.
   
   
6. I got to spend the evening with good folks, talking music and travel and photography. (quicknow, I rocked it with Maluca from Flickr & her crew, plus S. & A. & the kid, all night. Quality people.)
   
   
7. Patterson sang the second verse of "the Company I Keep" first, and then cracked up on stage.
   
   
8. Definitely at least two tapers' rigs halfway back in the audience.
   
   
9. mike cooley mike cooley mike cooley mike cooley patterson hood shonna tucker mike cooley brad morgan mike cooley.

PBWiki, the wiki editor tool for groups and communities, has crossed a major milestone in the growth of their userbase this week.  As they celebrate their 3rd anniversary, they’re marking it by making sure that the users closest to the 500k mark will be lifetime users.

PBWiki VP of Marketing Chris Yeh dropped me a line to let us know that they’ll soon be crossing the threshhold of 500,000 wikis being powered by their system, and the 499,999th, 500,000th and 500,001st users who sign up for wiki hosting will be upgraded to premium level access for free for the life of the wiki.

Premium level access gives wiki owners the ability to turn on features including IP white-listing and the recently announced automated design customizer.

The official birthdate is May 31st, which was when in 2005 current CEO David Weekly launched the company.  Since then, PBWiki has been growing steadily and playing host to a myriad of client types, ranging from public to private sector, including many profit and non-profit organizations.

“Support from our customers has always been a key strength for PBwiki,” said Weekly, “We’re delighted to have them share in the celebration of PBwiki’s incredible growth.”

Back in February, Chris Yeh of PBWiki sat down to give us an interesting overview of the hosted wiki space in general as well as a brief history of PBWiki in specific. The embed is available below, or you can download the MP3 file directly here.
