Brooklyn Show Tonight
Just reminding the handful of people who actually read this thing: tonight I’ll be at Union Hall in Park Slope Brooklyn along with David Rees and Graham Smith. The show starts at 8:45 and it’s likely to be pretty full (or at least it was likely before I tempted fate by saying that), so you may want to buy tickets in advance. I can say these things about my set: there will be ukulele, I will have a guest backup vocalist, I will play the bass guitar for one song.
I almost forgot, it’s time for my customary last minute call for merch help – if you’d like to get in free and run the merch table, let me know. There’s a shiny new quarter in it for you.
Also, there is bocce…
Tom Cruise Crazy Video
John the Uke-ist has outdone himself. You remember John of course, who wore a hat and played Re: Your Brains on Ukulele on YouTube. I should first mention that he sent me a second version of this video, this time with zombie footage. And now I find out he’s also done a video for Tom Cruise Crazy a la Uke, plus backing vocals. Nice work John the Uke-ist.
Oh, also? Glenn tells me that Tom Cruise is the Scientology Jesus. Nice to see the guy’s finally getting some recognition.
And Two More Desserts Not Pictured
Guess where I had lunch this week? Here’s a hint (and a picture of my dessert, post-eating):
Hodgman and I performed for Google employees at the New York office on Wednesday, and then ate in the cafeteria. It’s true what they say, lunch is really excellent there, not only because it’s free. I had a veal chop grilled with sage and a side of truffled macaroni and cheese. Crazy! There were like eight different salad bars there, and a guy grilling sirloin steaks to order. We walked around the offices a bit too, and saw countless happy workers riding on scooters, doodling on white boards, and participating in bake-offs – really everything but adding a multiple destination option to Google maps.
Site Trouble
Well, I think the problem with playing music on the Songs page has been solved (please let me know if it’s not). Thanks to everyone who helped troubleshoot. For the curious, it had to do with some URL rewrites – somewhere along the way the del.icio.us playtagger and/or some browsers changed the referrer, and I had to add an exception for it.
Now the forums are broken. Sigh.
