Brad Sucks’ss’s New Record
It’s called “Out of It” and it’s out now. Brad is a musician from whom I have stolen many ideas on how to run a single person music guy empire, from Creative Commons to remix contests to WordPress. He’s also a talented writer of hooky electropop goodness, so I’m pleased to see he’s got something new out there (also I contributed vocals to the title track, so that’s fun too). Listen to the whole thing on his site, choose your own price, get the mp3s free if you want and pay him later. Also he is from Canada.
MaxFunCon
You may know I am a fan and friend of Jesse Thorn, the radio talent behind “The Sound of Young America” podcast and radio show. Jesse has audaciously decided to throw a Con. I guess one can just DO that. It’s called MaxFunCon, it happens June 2009 in Lake Arrowhead, CA, and guests include me, Hodgman (doing the keynote), Maria Bamford, Julia Crookston, Mark Frauenfelder, Hard & Phirm, Xeni Jardin, Jordan, Jesse Go! (that being Jesse and Jordan of course), Merlin Mann, Never Not Funny, Jimmy Pardo and the cast (?) of the fabulous “You Look Nice Today” podcast. There will be hot tubbing, comedy, music and “sports” I bet.
Early registration is better, as evidenced by this discount code that gets you $20 off if you purchase tickets this week: mandelbrotset. Buy tickets! Sports!
The Audacity of Jokes
Just decided to do this Obama fundraising event on September 15 at 8 PM at Comix in NYC. Also there being funny comedians: Fred Armisen, Kristen Schaal, Kyle Grooms and Amy Schumer. Regular tickets are $45 and special VIP tickets are $100 (not sure what VIP status is – maybe you get to touch my beard?).
