I’m back from San Francisco and you can now sign up for this week’s open mic. Our honeymoon was awesome and I took about 300 pictures. I’ll be posting a bunch of them this week.

Only 5 days until Jeanne and I officially get hitched, so I won’t be hosting the open mic for two weeks. Roz King will be filling in for me while I spend some time in San Francisco. I plan to host two more open mics after I get back (8/11 & 8/18) and that’s where…

I added the random photo box to your right, although I think I want to switch it to a “latest photo” box instead. That will give me some incentive to post new photos. Some random stuff: Cool stickfigure animation Great weird cartoon The record industry isn’t dying because of downloads. It’s because of DVDs 9/11…

Come out tonight to the Tree House open mic. It runs from 8:00PM – 11:00PM. You can sign up in advance here or just come to hang out, listen to music and drink coffee. The list is already pretty full. Tonight you’ll see the following performers: Shannon Rae Cole and Joe Caliva The Forest Greens!…

Last week was an interesting night. We had our first ever accordion performance. 1. Ben Garvey – I played The Genius of it All, All My Dreams are in Cartoon, and Daydream Believer by the Monkees. 2. The Forest Greens! – Rocked the joint. Jeanne and her neices really enjoyed Ellen’s dancing, too. The crowd…

I use Mozilla Thunderbird as my email client and it’s a terrific piece of software. The junk mail filters help me sift through tons of unwanted mail, but marking messages as junk takes too long if you have a rule set up to automatically move those messages to the junk folder. It takes a half…

Someone tried to rob the Sun bank in Collingswood yesterday, but he got tired of waiting for the teller. That sounds like every bank experience I’ve ever had. I’m pretty sure the Sun is right between the Tree House and Wawa on Haddon Ave. The Sun is just east of Wawa on Haddon Ave. Authorities…

I watched “I Love 1992” on VH1 last night and it’s much different than “I Love the 70s” and “I Love the 80s.” A lot of the cultural references from the older decades were about toys and cartoons, whereas the 90s are remembered more for Fabio, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Joey Buttafuoco. Of course, that’s…

You know you want to come out tonight to the Tree House open mic. It runs from 8:00PM – 11:00PM. You can sign up in advance here or just come to hang out and listen to music. They have great food, so why not stop in for dinner?

In June of 2003 I finished a book called Time Travel in Einstein’s Universe by Richard J Gott. My favorite chapter of the book talked about how you can predict how long things will last using the Copernican Principle, which is basically “We are not special.” If you assume that your point of observation is…

My politics don’t always bleed into this site, but I’ll just put this out there. Congress is about to vote on a Constituional amendment called the Federal Marriage Amendment, which would deny homosexuals the right to marry. Constituional amendments are extremely hard to roll back once they are in place, so if you believe in…

Every day over at Fark.com they have photoshop contests where people manipulate images into jokes, political statements, parodies, etc. To commemorate the recent NY Post goof they ran the following contest: “Photoshop other New York Post front-page scoops (link goes to most recent one)” The results denigrated into an amazing self referential free for all…

Every Thursday this month Y-100 is putting on free shows at Penn’s Landing. Last Thursday Adam, Joanne, Jeanne and I went to see Sugarcult and Phantom Planet. It’s not my favorite type of music, but it was free and Phantom Planet was good. They’re the band with the kid from Rushmore as their drummer. If…

My good friend Melissa Walker is showing off some photos over at Grooveground on Haddon Ave tomorrow night. I think you’ll want to check it out.Tomorrow night (Sat. July 10th), I will be exhibiting some large photographs at Groove Ground (647 Haddon Ave) in Collingswood. In conjunction with Collingswood’s Second Saturdays, the photos will be…

Two recaps in one night? Unreal. Last Wednesday (June 7th) was an odd night for me. All night it seemed like the Tree House couldn’t tell if it was going to be slow or busy. Rob ran a new-hat-drive with his tip basket and I think he met his goal. His old hat was eaten…

This is the recap for last week’s open mic on June 30th. 1. Ben Garvey – Rob complained about me playing the same songs ever week so I played Todd Snyder’s “Alright Guy,” Beck’s “Cut in Half Blues,” and my own “Why Now Satan?” 2. Johnny Miles – Played a new original that I liked.…

Last Thursday I stopped by the Caribbean Crab in Oaklyn. Justin Taylor hosts their new open mic over there and I played a few songs. Someone who was there the previous week requested “99%,” so I played that along with “The Genius of it All,” Johnny Cash’s “Big River,” and “I’m a Lesbian Trapped in…

The degrees of separation between me and Jessica Simpson went down to two when a friend of mine from college got backstage passes to her show at the Tweeter Center in Camden last Sunday. Here’s the proof. I put this in the music category as a joke.
