I’m on Vacation
Such as it is – when you never really “go to work” anyway it’s hard to figure out how to actually take a vacation. Such problems! I will be in a beachy place for the next couple of weeks, so I may be extra slow in answering emails and posting things here. I am, however, willing to take suggestions as to what delicious summer cocktail I should be enjoying while I’m here.
I will also eat lobster.
Best Cover Songs
The NY Post published a list of the best 100 cover songs, and they put my version of “Baby Got Back” at #2 between Dolly Parton’s “Stairway to Heaven” and The Bangles’s’ss’ “Hazy Shade of Winter.” Admittedly this list is “in no particular order” so it doesn’t mean I did the second best cover song ever. Still, it’s quite nice to be nestled amongst all those ladies…
Which is Spookier?
Is it:
1) a Mandelbrot Set the size (and perhaps even the shape) of the known universe,
OR
2) an image of me (or perhaps Dr. Zaius) found in a stain on a hardwood floor in a house in CT that I have NEVER VISITED OR STAINED?
(Thank you David and Alexander.)
JoCo Crosses the Pond
That is what the headline will read if sometime in the future I am actually able to set up a tour in the UK and/or Europe in general. I hope to do this, and really, we’re trying to figure out how to make it work. From looking at Eventful demands I can see that there’s a nice cluster of willing fans in London and the UK, which is great. London is an obvious place to set up an anchor gig.
But here’s where I could use your help, dear internet. Ideally there would be more than the one London show – it’s kind of a long trip over the ocean you know. And I have a terrible sense of what’s over there, where people live, how far apart everything is, etc. (Europe is in Vermont, right?) So speak up foreigners: assuming I do a London show sometime (maybe later this year), where else should I hit? And all you people who signed up for a generic UK demand on Eventful: where do you live? And to the two people in the Berlin demand: you got any friends? Finally, if there are secret pockets of fans anywhere over there who haven’t yet signed up for a demand on Eventful, now’s the time to make some noise: http://eventful.com/performers/P0-001-000000067-4/demand
