Yes, spellcheck, I know that pier follows the 'i before e' rule (which I hear is no longer being taught as an official rule in the UK), but Aaron and I joined a friend and her daughter on the Santa Monica pier last night for an open air concert and Aaron spotted that the stage signage had it spelled incorrectly. I cringed for whoever was responsible for that - I'm sure they've noticed it by now and feel like idiots. Rule #1 of marketing/advertising: SPELL CHECK! That aside, we had a really nice time. Having been born in the wrong decade we were not exactly the target audience. Aaron only recognized one song (it had been covered by someone else recently - maybe Nirvana?) and I didn't recognize a single one. But we enjoyed the atmosphere, the tunes, and watching the older woman to our right rocking out and singing along with all of the songs.
