OK, THIS IS TOO FUNNY TO PASS UP FOR SHARING. I JUST WENT OUT TO GET A COLD DRINK ON MY BLOCK, AND WALKED PASSED A GAGGLE OF KIDS CHILLIN ON THE STOOP. ONE HAD JUST GOTTEN UP, AND WALKED OFF… BUT, AS I WAS PASSING HIS FRIENDS, HE SHOUTED BACK ‘DON’T LEAVE NOWHERE!’ AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, DON’T LEAVE NOWHERE? IT ONLY TOOK A MOMENT TO REALIZE IT WAS A GROSS URBAN INFLECTION OF ‘DON’T GO ANYWHERE (WITHOUT ME)’. AND I CHUCKLED THE WHOLE WAY TO THE STORE. DON’T LEAVE NOWHERE! OK, I’M DONE.

THE CBGB BENEFIT SHOWS HAVE BEEN POPPING UP LIKE CRAZY. BUT, FROM THE BLOG CRAZINESS ABOUT IT. THE SHIRTS ON SALE. AND THE GENERAL EXCITEMENT LATELY. I’D HAVE TO SAY, I SAW THE BEST BENEFIT SHOW THEY WILL HAVE. OFFSPRING. DEXTER AND NOODLES AND THE BAND PLAYED FOR WELL OVER AN HOUR, CROWD SURFED, DRANK BEER, AND JUST CHIT CHATTED FROM THE STAGE. IT WAS BY FAR THE BIGGEST NAME TO COME BACK TO CBGB (ACTUALLY, THEY’D NEVER PLAYED THERE BEFORE) FOR THE BENEFIT SERIES. AMAZING.

KIND OF A WEIRD THING MY CAMERA CAN DO.

EARLY! I WAS AT WORK REALLY EARLY TODAY. AN HOUR EARLY. JUST A LITTLE BIT. GOOD THING. LOTS OF WORK TO BE DONE, AND I’M OUT HALF THE WEEK. 4 MORE DAYS UNTIL KREG IS OFF THE STREETS OF AVAILIBILITY!

WHAT ARE THE ODDS? TWICE IN ONE WEEK? TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE, EVEN. SOMEONE IS EITHER TORTURING ME, OR TRYING TO TELL ME SOMETHING. EITHER WAY, WHY I AM THE ONE ENDING UP AT HOME CRYING?
