Go Ahead! Make Your Bed.
Estelle Getty is the second YOUNGEST Golden Girl. I did not know that.

I really wish I could think of a better nickname for Karen. I've used Hitchy in the past, but it's not that original. Unlike Buffalo Bill. It's pretty original. I got it from the NFL's Buffalo Bills.
These are the reasons why my new career selling christmas trees will be good for the band:
Here's an excerpt from an email my mom just sent me.
Friday: Cambodiana: good, Us: unpleasant, Memory: One I'd rather not have
I'm pretty excited because it's the one show we play where it really doesn't matter. I mean, sure most shows are rough and people are too drunk to notice, but this show...wow. Last time we played Sci Formal ('03) we had a very finite list of songs that we knew how to play and had practiced with our drummer. We played maybe 6 of those songs. Everyone attending Sci Formal just got bonkers. We played Barnone 5 times. We covered AC/DC and the Counting Crows, two songs I never before knew on guitar (or particularly enjoyed)... and I still don't know how to play them. Drunken buffoons were continuously running on stage to sing songs we had never before tried. It was pretty awesome, until I got sacked about 3 times. Even then, it was pretty rad. So for this weekend, instead of practicing for days we're just gonna hope for the best. And I'll be honest- We won't need half of our best for this to be the easiest show in the history of time.
AAAAAAND then there's tonight at Clark. Hi-Fives are opening, and I'm pretty excited since I've never seen them before and they are top notch dudes. Following them is the main event, Sharp Hint of New Tears, the Queen's super-group playing songs by an adult who wrote sad teenager anthems. It's going to be wicked. Closing out the night will be a band called "Croccodile Mile", until I can find a better name for us doing songs so we remember how to play them the next night.
In the words of Dave Messer "If you're going to Sci Formal, come see us tonight so you can see how great we are, because lord knows you'll be too drunk to remember us tomorrow" Also, good luck with your hours, sucker. Remember-going to Sci Formal is fun, as long as you don't dissapoint your date and spend most of the time fighting in the stairwell.
Cambodiana tonight!
Last night I had a dream about Dave's wedding. The highlight was a speech from Dave's best man, who looked like a cross between Mikhail Baryshnikov and Ian Holm. I think it was Dave's mentor or something, and he gave a pretty moving speech. I remember thinking "Wow, that's deep. I now understand my purpose" I really wish I could remember what he said. Also, the hors d'oeuvres at the reception were top notch. Most of them had a spicy flair, if I recall correctly. Actually, I think they were just things I've seen on Triscuit boxes over the years. Anyhow, it was a super fun night, and Dave and Kim put on this amazing dance routine. I'm talking something out of Bollywood. Then I woke up I think. The moral of the story is that I can't wait for Dave to get married.
In other news, I'm pretty excited to get back to Cambodiana this weekend. Although, I'll be honest I'm a little stressed out. Not so much about the fact that we're playing a show with a drummer who we've never played or practiced with before, but more about what we're going to wear. Sci Formal really demands a certain level of class, but on the flipside we're cheap. Two years ago we wore pink shirts, white pants and teal cumber buns... however I'm told it's a fairly large 'faux-pas' to recycle outfits at formal events, EVEN if they are gorgeous. Maybe we should all get fake moustaches. I know moustache are a bit cliche, but it's tough being me sometimes. You see, I can only grow the infamous Anti-Hitler, where you grow nothing under the nose, but simply on the outskirts. And I'll be honest, sometimes a guy just needs a moustache. I don't even know how to get fake moustaches. Do they itch? Probably.
