We’re opening for someone, but I haven’t really seen any details, and I’m really adverse to lying

Monday, July 9, 9pm @ Tiger Bar
317 NW [...]
It’s like pulling teeth getting this asshole to sing. Apparently, all you have to do is slap a wig on him and he’s ready to ROCK THE MIC:

Just got back from California, and I’m glad to see the band has really taken this “Group Blog” concept to heart. Thanks for having my back, asses.
Since I’m tired, here’s a brief rundown:
OaklandIt exists. What else? Oh, yeah: it provides a good excuse for totally pointless name dropping. I had the [...]
Work has commenced on the 36-page Roboctopus Coloring & Activity Book. It’s going to be awesome, mainly because I’m not going to be drawing most of it.
Right now, the plan is to print 50 of them, and sell them with the cd as a… what? Special Edition? Limited Edition? Collector’s Edition? [...]

Back in 2002 and 2003, maybe even back as far as 2001 when I started hearing friends say things “Well, all else being equal, I sure am glad Bush is President instead of Gore!” as though Gore’s response to 9/11 would have been to urge [...]
Bubba hijacked my iPod a couple of weekends ago and got his hands on some old Jimmy Kaufmann/DYM outtakes and rarities (I hope you’re enjoying those terrible harmony guides I did for Roboctoresignation and Deeper Than Deep, asshole!). Anyway, today he wrote and reminded me about the version of Summer Girl Fun Town I recorded [...]
