I remember first seeing Dave Chapelle's Block Party at the Hollywood Theater in Tyler with my best friend Marc. And I remember my life being better for it.

It's now been 10 years since that block party happened. Grantland's Rembert Browne takes a look at the weird decade that followed for everyone involved.

Interesting thoughts about the acceptance of fighting in Hockey. Would it still be ok if the players were African-American?

Hear: Daydream by Tycho

I like to get my Saturday morning run over with early, so I'm generally at the park by 7:00 am. And this is always the first song I listen to. There's just something about the way it mixes with the cool air and new sun that makes me smile. And tingle inside a little.

Want: Sid Mashburn Captive-Top Flask

Sid Mashburn $95

A friend of mine was recently at a Trampled by Turtles show when he got stuck standing behind a group of gents that were constantly sending one sloppy goose to get beers for the whole drunken gander. The bar was at the back of the room, which meant that the guy's return involved elbowing his way back through the crowd, sloshing four Coors Lights all over everyone's shoulders and shoes. This, understandably, annoyed my friend. "If you intend to drink that much, and get that drunk" he later ranted to me, "why not just bring a flask?"

Yes! Why not bring a flask?! Compact and convenient, a flask not only makes you a better concert neighbor, but also allows you the opportunity to drink something a little more refined than $9 horse piss. And if you're going to use a flask, it might as well be made of stainless steel and wrapped in leather. This beauty from Sid Mashburn is even curved to fit the pocket of your jacket. Check your local open-container laws before going crazy. Or just be sneaky.  But whatever you do, be responsible.
