You guys should also check the DVD Festival Express. It's about a traveling festival that went across Canada on train. It features the Dead and Janis Joplin, whose emotional performance was just mesmerizing. Anyway, there's lots of behind the scenes footage, people jamming out while...

On the topic of people who get deified, I read an article a few months ago about a guy who had hiked the length of Madagascar and found a group of people that were awaiting the second coming of Bob Marley. Crazy but true. The guy that wrote the article lectures on Marley.

They had a video playing in the background at Bonnaroo, and it sometimes switched from a pre-produced video to a camera on the singer's mic. The singer used a nun puppet on one of the songs, which looked really freaky on the screen.

JEALOUS. I AM FREAKIN JEALOUS. What an awesome lineup. You like a lot of the same artists I like. Maybe I was born at the wrong time. How did you end up at all those great performances? Note about Grisman: He's cheap. My friend waited his table in NO, and for 15 people at a really nice...

Thanks, Martin. If you ever have a problem with evil monkeys in your closet, let me know. We're unionized. I can take care of it.

A young salesman was driving across the desert when he picked up an old Native American man that was walking beside the road. At first, not a lot was said. Then the old man noticed a brown paper bag on the console, and he inquired as to the contents of the bag. The salesman replied, "It's a...

Where this library? Tonto not familiar with it.

I need to add that this book did make me realize something important. Whether you choose to believe in religion or science, you're still using faith because we don't have all the answers. To steal a device from Life of Pi, there will always be meerkat bones.

Wow. I didn't know Transformers was a hit across the pond, too. How much are we actually separated? ;)

I had two cups of coffee last night at around 8:30. Normally coffee doesn't really affect me, but I didn't go to sleep last night until around 4:00 a.m. During that time, I found out that I have a common musical interest with Vonnegut. Apparently, he's a Phish fan. Scroll down to the bottom...

Vonnegut on Writing I'm in the middle of a Vonnegut marathon, and I found this quote tonight. "This is what I find most encouraging about the writing trades. They allow mediocre people who are patient and industrious to revise their stupidity, to edit themselves into something like...

DAMMIT, JEN! You stole mine. I have a Family Guy story I'll share instead. I was working on a Habitat for Humanity home last Saturday, and I just started in with "Warm yesterday," and the guy painting next to me came in "Warm Yesterday." He knew the song too. Of course, it turns out that...

Really. What makes those people think they're special? Laziness? Or they just need ONE item? I don't care if you just need to get a gallon of ice cream. What's wrong with parking the car in a spot and walking just a few steps more to get your ONE item? If I were a police officer, I would...

It also indicates a need for really fast cars OR a 4x4 truck complete with lift kit and HUGE tires. ;) I've noticed no one here can stay mad. This is supposed to be a place to be pissed off. Instead, bobby uses zen (through the workings of a penis joke) to get us all laughing.

AMEN! OHMIGOD! Will the media not let people die without making a huge deal about it? Someone should tell the people at the news agencies that people die all the time. Get over it. Yes, some of them are vegetables involved in court battles. Yes, some of them wear giant hats. Why do I have...

"If I'm ever in a persistive vegetated state, please . . . for the love of god, don't put me on TV!" Did they hit the nail on the head or what? Have your court battle if you really want to; just leave the other 6 billion of us out of it.

Schlitz, Window Unit A/C and Elementary School There's a country artist named Robert Earl Keen that tells a story on a live album about how his friend convinced him to move back to Texas from Nashville. His friend was telling him about how it was a beautiful day in San Marcos and how he had...

There's a place in Memphis, TN, called The Flying Saucer that has a lot of beers (I don't know how many; probably under a thousand) on tap. You can join a club and drink three different types of beer a week until you drink everything they have to offer. They sell shirts that say "Beer Knurd"...

Woodland Critter Christmas! YES! "Yeah! Let's sacrifice me to Satan!" "Blood orgy!"

There's a brewery out west called New Belgium, and they make some good beers, 1554, Blue Paddle and Loft. They won't deliver anywhere that their trucks can't get to in a day, so my friends will make 3 hour trips to pick some up. I love beer, cold beer, and New Belgium makes some good stuff.
