Honestly, though, I need to keep this short and sweet because Katie Couric is waiting for me in bed, and you know how KC gets when she's kept waiting. I really just wanted to do a little hardcore self-promotion. I'm in the thick of my summer of gigs. Two of the bigger gigs are fast approaching and I need all the support I can get. So please, oogle the posters of said gigs, be delighted and inspired by them and then go buy alot of tickets. Give the tickets away as gifts. Then buy more tickets for yourself. Both of the shows are listed
as Critics Picks in this weeks TimeOutNY, and those dudes are smart and can see into the future, so you know the shows are gonna be tight.
I just got back from an imaginary trip to England. It was fun, but the imaginary food sucked.
JOE: How've you been dude?!
OTHER JOE: Good, man. What are you up to?
JOE: Doing alot of gigs, working on The Black Suits...
OTHER JOE: The Black Suits? That's not that garage band show is it?
JOE: Yeah.
OTHER JOE: Uh- Joe?
JOE: Yeah.
OTHER JOE: You've been writing that for five years.
JOE: Four.
OTHER JOE: You should stop.
JOE: I agree.
Oh, also, something momentous occurred in my life since my last blog posting. I started a band with Lance, Hinkley, and SweetTooth. We are called the Big Galoots and we look like this:
Here are some more pics from our first-ever gig @ Mo Pitkins.
The show was tremendously fun. Being in a band is kind of awesome, I gotta say. We will be gigging again in early August and the world will explode when we do. You should come watch us make the world explode with our music.
I want a dog.
Earlier in this blog post, while searching for images to hyperlink to, I discovered that it is a Really bad idea to do a google image search of the word "tight" while using the free wi-fi at Dunkin Donuts. It makes your neighboring Dunkin Donuts patrons really uncomfortable.
As I was walking home just now, this guy approached me, raised his right arm and bore his opened palm. Naturally, I thought he wanted to give me a high-five. While this stranger clearly had no reason to high five me, I naturally started to high-five him back. And, naturally, he was just waving to his friend who was walking behind me and perceived my attempt to high-five him as an attempt to strike him. He flinched and looked shocked/confused/terrified. I laughed and kept walking. Life rocks.
How old is that hot little girl in the Harry Potter movies? I mean, "that little girl in the Harry Potter movies."
