Boston Show
Just a reminder – Paradise Lounge, 10:30 PM, Wednesday September 27. Last I checked Boston had the highest number of demanders at Eventful.com, so this could be a really big show. I will have Thing a Week One with me as well as Thing a Week Two, which just arrived this week. T-shirts – but of course.
Speaking of which, I need a volunteer to work the merch table for me. If you’re coming to the show and you’re pretty good at math and you promise not to steal all my money, send me an email via the contact link on my site and let’s get this party started.
And now: to Hartford.
Code Monkey Vid
Spiff, make of high quality JoCo WoW videos, sends me this one for Code Monkey in preparation for the week-long celebration he imagines the end of TAW will bring. Nice work, as always…
Thing a Week 51 – Summer’s Over
Isn’t it though? Here’s the thing – this is song #51, and the next one is #52 and I’m freaking out. It was very hard to write this one. You can imagine how much pressure I’m feeling at this point to wrap the whole thing up with a couple of really kick-ass songs about monkeys and robots, really blow everybody’s mind. As a result, I can’t think of anything really interesting to say about monkeys or robots. So this one’s just about somebody leaving somebody else at the end of the summer (hint: no it’s not, it’s about the end of Thing a Week).
It was especially hard because I knew something you didn’t, which is that this is the last song I’ll write for Thing a Week. Next week is going to be a cover. Why yes, it is a cop out. But really, I can’t imagine writing something that’s as appropriate as this cover song will be – you’ll see. It just feels right to me.
Speaking of which, I need a little something from you folks to make it happen. If you have the capability to record decently (no built-in laptop microphones please), I would like you to record a single hand clap and email it to me. Your best hand clap please, mp3 is fine as long as it’s a pretty decent bitrate. By doing so you agree to let me use it for whatever I want from now until the end of time without getting any sort of credit for it, ever. But you’ll be on a CD.
And now, without any further adieu (hee hee):
