Hump Day- Am I right? Anyway, the Valley Lodge rock show at Union Hall last night was a lot of fun. That is a photo of us above totally rocking. It was our first show ever with Phil switching over to guitar from bass and Eddie Eyeball stepping in on thunder broom (which is to say bass). I am excited for the next one. I had some tuning issues (as usual) and was made a bit dizzy by the lights (might have been the pills), but other than that I am putting it in the win column. I do kind of regret talking about “fingering” and “fingerbanging” on stage because- even though I meant it in the most romantic of ways- it never fails to creep people out (which is why I tend to bring it up in the first place).
After the show, I had a nice chat with pickle magnate Jon Orren of Wheelhouse Pickles, an excellent place to get pickles and pickle-related products. We spoke a bit about the pickle game in the current economy and how it can spell tough times for a pickle man. It pains me to think that people don’t buy pickles as much when the economy is down. Sometimes I just don’t want to live in this world. Treat yourself to some delicious Wheelhouse Pickles today and show the world you are a survivor, dammit.
In other news today, I am still trying to make sense of the whole Travis the Chimp incident (that is him above in a rare moment of not doing detective work, rollerskating, or maiming people). Chimps seem like good times all the time, but man when they decide the party is over they can be total dicks about it. And what’s with the hand eating? Evolve already! A thigh? An arm? Sure- I get it. But a hand? Sorry, that’s just gross. Anyway, I bet Travis’ owner is going to have a tough time showing his face at the grocery store and stuff over the next few weeks. When I was in grade school, my dog Blazer bit a girl in the ass and I never heard the end of it. Not long after, Blazer bit me in the face and guess what- people wouldn’t shut up about that either.
In other wacky animal-related news, my friend Jeff from Used Wigs sent me this video of a Dalmatian in Japan that can ride a bike. One more example of how the Japanese- even Japanese dogs- are at least twenty years ahead of us. When was the last time you saw an American dog ride a bike? Exactly.
Speaking of fun Internet videos, yesterday my friend Nancy hipped me to this video of a Chinese woman missing her plane flight and not taking it very well. Not sure how I missed this one. I don’t like missing flights too much either, but usually I just head over to Cinn-a-bon and just, you know, sort of deal with it until I can get on another plane. Sheesh.
Finally, check out this cool website/blog. Fun products from the future. I love that shit.
