This ain’t no mp3 blog, but if you have a moment, you should download and listen to this phone message we got on our machine a few months ago (October 26, to be exact). Q ripped it into mp3 and it’s quite possibly the funniest phone message I’ve ever recieved, far improving upon the calls [...]
If you’re part of the S27 DC class (cf. this post), you should’ve gotten an e-mail this past weekend confirming that you’re part of the class and that your contact information is right. If you didn’t, e-mail the PCJ quick! Thanks.
Although I most certainly do not have time for it,I started reading another book that I probably won’t finish in its entirety: Guy Debord, by Andy Merrifield. Debord is one of those I take in small doses then get sidetracked and can’t say I have an amazing working knowledge of.
Funny story: sophomore year, I [...]
Going home for a day or two to visit the dear Mom, whose birthday it is, and for whom the Men of the Family went together on this as a gift. (Should I feel guilty that I’ll end up taking several episodes myself, since she’ll only want certain of them?) (Nah, it wasn’t my idea [...]
I tend to have highs and lows as far as dreams are concerned — periods of weeks when I don’t have any of note, then little spurts of dream that will have a pervading tone. It doesn’t always line up with the tone of my actual life at the time, but that’s sort of what’s [...]
This just in: the PICT brochure for the 2006 season, which just arrived today, announces that Martin McDonagh’s “The Pillowman” will be produced this year, in May. Color me stoked. If you’re in Pittsburgh, you should go see this. PICT is a great company, and McDonagh is maybe my favorite contemporary playwright. I’ve never seen [...]
While I’m on a posting rampage, check this out. Alan is a super nice dude who did a show for us last year and has done tons of shows for tons of good folks at his house in Jersey. What a shitty situation. Hopefully he can get some sort of recourse, although you know how [...]
Here’s all the info, at least all that I have thus far, about the record release weekend. I’ll update further when I have more information.
Friday, February 3 – Belegost and the sea, like lead at the Philadelphia Ethical Society, apparently the meeting place of a sort of universalist-looking group of some sort. It’s on Rittenhouse [...]
First and foremost — Sparrows, Swarm & Sing!
Super talented, incredibly nice dudes. Hopefully we’ll do a New England date or two or three with them in May. Some intense loud guitar-driven stuff, a lot of strings, awesome stuff with a glockenspiel, some leaves, and a pirate chant or two. Worth checking out, although this is [...]
Today, I received three (3) avocados, fresh from the tree in California belonging to the mother of Someone I Work With, via the interoffice courier. These items were in an interoffice envelope, replete with pieces of loose leaf covering the holes in the envelope such that the couriers would not recognize their cargo as produce [...]
