Had a great show tonight at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, and a funny story for you. After we leave the stage, I'm by the door chatting with people and a woman comes over to say hello. She heard Bobbo's dedication of our new song "This Town" to our hometown of Billerica, MA and had to come meet because her brother lives there, and it was such an odd coincidence. So I ask her brother's name, on the off chance that Bobbo or I might happen to know the family. Well, as it turns out, not only do I know the family, I dated her nephew! In fact, we were very good friends for a number of years, and my Junior Prom dated to boot. Oh, and he was the first musician I dated (a drummer!), so Bobbo, you have Ryan Holohan to thank!
Funny how you can go all the way to the other side of the country and still find connections to people back home.

Women have no intellectual interest in music? Bullshit!
Oooh, this article irks me to no end. One of the authors - a woman no less! - essentially says that women are mental midgets (no offense intended to midgets) whose primary response to music is to scream, cry and pick which member of the band they'd sleep with first. Ugh. Just for the record, I would love to have a conversation about Ahmet Ertegun and chances are that I do love the Clash more than anyone else around the table at the time. So there.

Ever have one of those mornings...
...where you wake up half an hour late for work, rush through your shower just to step smack dab in the middle of the most enormous pile of cat vomit you've ever seen, then spend the next 15 minutes searching in vain for the carpet cleaner that you had in your hand the night before and now has mysteriously disappeared off the face of the earth making you just that much later for work? And people wonder why I hate mornings.

Wearing your cool factor on your sleeve
I'm torn on these vintage rock tees by Worn Free. On the one hand, how awesome would it be to have a copy of one of John Lennon's or Johnny Ramone's classic t-shirts? On the other hand, the pictures of all the celebritys wearing those very t-shirts just make me cringe. Mischa Barton in a Blondie t-shirt? Katherine Heigl and the Flying Burrito Brothers? Dweezil Zappa in a Frank Zappa - oh wait, that's just sweet.

Is the sky blue or yellow?
Ever wonder if what you see is the same as what other people see? Here's a pretty thorough test for colorblindness so you can at least find out if your world is the same color as everyone else's! Kind of neat!

Guitar Hero with Real Guitars!
Check out Guitar Rising, a cross between Guitar Hero and actual guitar lessons. You can actually plug a real guitar into your computer and learn how to play while competing for accuracy just like the Guitar Hero game. Learn to be the next Bobbo! (Does it measure how well you jump around on stage and fall down too?)
