Attention People Of New York City:
This is your man Dave Hill writing to let you know that on Wednesday, March 15 at 9:30pm, I will once again be bringing it like a motherf#%ker in the form of a little show I like to call The Dave Hill Explosion at a little place I like to call the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre (which, to be fair, is what others call it too). My guest for this show will be none other than showbiz legend Dick Cavett. If you happen to be a fan of ancient history, you no doubt noticed that my show will be taking place on the Ides of March, the very day Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 B.C. by a handful of people who were pretty much tired of his bullsh*t. According to the Roman writer Plutarch, Caesar had been given a heads up on the danger but chose to ignore it. Now he has a casino, a salad, and even a bad haircut named after him. What does this all mean to you, me, and the rest of our society at large? I am not exactly sure. But keep in mind that Caesar was one of the great leaders of the Roman Empire, a society of asskickers whose innovations in architecture, public administration, and even the modern calendar are still in use to this day. Not bad for a bunch of guys walking around in bedsheets. Think about that next time you are d*cking around at the office in one of your fancy little outfits. Anyway, I guess what I am trying to say is that you should totally come to my show. I am going to be talking, singing, reading, dancing, showing a couple new short films (here is one from the last show you might enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PxJ9ikp35I), interviewing showbiz legend Dick Cavett, and doing all that other stuff that has made me pretty much the wealthiest man in my apartment building (though the guy on three seems to be getting back on his feet). I seriously hope you can make it. In fact, if you are feeling really saucy, you can reserve tickets here.
Love,
Dave Hill

This past Saturday I touched lives again in my role as dancer for Jerzee’s own Satanicide. It was good times. Still not sure who the bald dude to the left is though.

As many of you are undoubtedly aware, I pretty much rule when it comes to fashion. And while I don’t have much use for ladies’ bags myself, I know a f*cking sweet bag when I see it. To that end, I would encourage you to check out Ryanbags, designed by my friend Ryan and manufactured by- at least to my understanding- gnomes in a factory somewhere in Hell’s Kitchen. Anyway, that’s Taea modelling one of Ryan’s bag above. See how it looks like she is totally just hanging out and having a great time talking on the phone and whatnot? Yeah- well that’s because she’s got that f*cking sweet bag sitting right next to her. Anyway, it’s not like Ryan needs the business or anything because she’s pretty much the queen of the bag industry at the moment, but you should go buy one of those f*ckers now anyway. Do it for yourself or someone you love. Manbags are coming soon and I am all over that sh*t.
Okay, that is my plug for the day. I meant to mention it sooner but I’ve just had so much other stuff to talk about, what with Don Knotts dying and it being Gavin McLeod’s birthday last week and all.

Yesterday I bought a box of Lucky Charms, one of the popular cereals of my youth. I treat myself to a box of the sugary and delicious breakfast snack every few months or so with the idea that I will have a bowl “every once in a while.” As soon as I get the box home, however, I tend to eat about three bowls a day until it’s entirely gone (this usually take about one and a half days). Anyway, I guess Lucky Charms are popular for a reason. And while I was initially weary of the advancements made with the various colored marshmallows that come in the cereal (they are multicolored now instead of each individual marshmallow just being one solid color- purple moons, green clovers, pink hearts, yellow stars, etc.), I am now totally into them. I can’t really identify any of the flavors I am tasting as something that might occur in nature, but I do know delicious when I taste it so I just keep on shovelling it in. I think I will balance things out by eating nothing but sugarless bran cereal all next week or something. Or maybe I’ll just get Cocoa Krispies. Tough call. I will keep you updated on these and other events.
In other news, last night I performed with my friend Walter Schreifels and Spanky Van Dyke at 323 West Broadway, a happening nightspot run by my friend and fellow Cleveland Height youth hockey player, Charlie. It was good times. I got the night started by coming on stage and reading one of my exciting poems and then showing a couple videos on a big screen, specifically the fashion week video mentioned in a previous entry and my world not-so-famous pug video. I’d never done my comedy type stuff at a music show before (though I realize it is quite the trendy thing to do these days), so I wasn’t sure what to expect in terms of the Me vs. The Crowd dynamic. People seemed to dig it though and I wasn’t pelted with anything, so I am putting it in the win column for now.
After I finished generally entertaining, Spanky Van Dyke rocked the people with a acoustic guitar and harmonica and people- myself included- were digging that shit. He’s got some solid-ass tunes.
The main event of the evening, of course, was Walter rocking the people in the solo acoustic format. By the time he went on, the place was jam-packed with all sorts of folks ready to have their asses rocked. Walter delivered too, playing in the neighborhood of twenty songs, including some new solo stuff and songs from his many bands- Walking Concert, Rival Schools, Quicksand, and Gorilla Biscuits. He played an awesome show and good times were had by all. I’m heading to Europe to tour with Walter for a couple weeks in March, so if you happen to live over there, prepare to get kicked in the nuts and/or other vulnerable region.
Okay, time for crunch class.
