Hollywood Holiday [Show Recap]

Hey Soul Mates,
yes, it was a fantastic show. We played our hearts out and wowed the crowd with two new songs. That we only rehearsed in full last night. The band looked really sharp, too. I had on my layers of berry and my vintage vest from the Netherlands. Doug rocked the purple and black. Bryan sporting shades had on his trademark Cavern black, including skinny tie. We're very excited because not only will you get to see the whole concert on the Gig's website, but we had the show shot by a pro videographer in HD (Christo, you're going to love it). Action!



Here's the set from tonight's show:
U Had The $
Everyone's Ingenue
Sucka
I Can't Cry For You
Everything My Heart Desires
Down By Love
Roosevelt's Revue (debut)
Fall Out
Raspberry Beret (cover)

A Talent For Loving

That being said. It was also a dismal failure tonight. We would like to thank everyone who came out to our show...

Jen T.
Kristee L.
Patty T.
Gabe G.
Blake Mc.
Garner K.

Oh, and
Mari B.
Jana M.
who arrived in time for our finale.

Yep. That's it. That's everyone who came to see us tonight. Oh, but it gets worse. There was one other person there to see us. The Vice President of a real record label. I'm sure we impressed with our turnout. Ha ha. We certainly hope that our performance was impressive. In fact, I'm pretty sure that was our swansong at the Gig. Many thanks to the owners and management of the Gig for supporting us and our Quixotic quest for the last couple of years.

We know that there are hundreds of fans who want to see us in the U.K. We hope that we'll get back to entertain them again next year. But at this rate, it's slow going. The band's expenditures for this show topped $400 (Doug of course is doing the 8 hour drive back home as I write). We certainly did not get paid to appear at the Gig. But before we do any sign-off sermonettes, we've got one more chance to show and prove at the
Good Hurt on Jan. 12, 2007. Be there. Please. In the meantime, power up your browser and head to the Gig and be amazed!

By the way, Doug and Bryan agree and sanctioned the tone and content of this e-mail.
Love, Power, Peace

That was the sweetest and yet saddest blog I've ever read.

I hope you truly realize the love you guys have given me by creating and playing such great music.

I will always and continue to be your biggest supporter in whatever you do!!

Murderous Haircut of the Mayor of Bel Air - Book Review

“The Murderous Haircut of the Mayor of Bel Air” is a trippy new mystery novel from Phillip Mottaz. It captures the grit and gilt of the City of Angels with the flair of a contemporary Raymond Chandler. The brisk pace and wit are reminiscent of Douglas Adams’s entries in the detective game. Flourishes of  Fletch  and “Medium” also spring to mind. However, Mottaz has added a psychic/mutant/superhuman touch and his own comedic voice, structure and internal monologues to the proceedings that help the author announce his own style and the arrival of a literary heroine for a new generation. Hairstylist and budding private investigator, Danica Luman is the perfect character to convey the irony, angst and sarcasm needed to tell a 21st century L.A. crime story. Danica also represents anyone who thought it would be neat to get tangled up in a mystery and the darkly comic cautionary tale that follows. The genre is recognizable, but Mottaz offers a fresh take on the not-ready-for-prime-time-hard-b

Jim Brown: G.O.A.T.

Yesterday, I met the Greatest of All-Time in his profession. It's not everyday that you see one, let alone get to interact. Of course, the encounter is nerve-wracking for the fan and probably tedious for the G.O.A.T. Thanks to my friend Steve, we got to visit the field prior my hometown Cleveland Browns ' matchup against the Chargers in San Diego. I had hope to see some of the old new Browns and get some pictures. I also had a small bag with a couple of mini helmets inside it and figured, these guys wouldn't mind that someone actually cared for their autographs. As we walked around the sideline, I sized up my options. Not a lot of players on the field yet. And it was hot. Probably around 95 and I had on a jacket to cover up my vintage Brian Sipe jersey. Lo and behold, who do I see holding court at the far end but the Greatest football player... Ever: Jim Brown . A true legend. The man whole holds a record book full of milestones. Star of the silverscreen. Community activist

Hello, Dali! (Now with 50% More Photos)

Hola , Soul Mates, I'm feeling very jet lagged. Just got back from Espana . Catalunya and Andalucia to be more precise. I even learned Catalan ( jo parlo catala , amics ) and spoke it in broken fashion to amused natives. But wait, here's proof... It's me at the Dali Teatro - Museu in Figueres on Salvador's birthday. The place is more funhouse than museum. This objet d'art was hidden in a stairwell. I call it "The Crowned Peacock Dreams of Genie." Dali lived here. He's buried here. I'm being idiotic here. Genuflecting or posing? Felicitats , Salvador! It was his birthday and I was the only one celebrating. And yes, I did sing "Happy Birthday" to him. Another installation that defies explanation. But it's got a real crocodile and a real light bulb and artificial limbs involved. What's not to like? Seems like every town in Catalonia has some sort of memorial to John Lennon. This sign had fallen off (no, I did not keep it), s
