Dance with Emily
You remember Emily of course, the person responsible for this excellent Code Monkey Dance (she continues to be proud to be awesome, as far as I know). I was asking her about maybe including her video on the DVD in some way, and she thought it would be fun to make a montage of lots of other people doing the dance. I agree completely. To that end, Emily and I encourage you to take video of you (or your baby, or your cat) doing the dance and submit it to the email address she’s set up for this: needamontage[at]gmail[dot]com. If you have questions about format and such, I’m sure she would be happy to answer them (I will stay out of it, so as not to complicate things). I should also make it clear that this may end up on the DVD and/or YouTube and/or who knows where, so please don’t submit anything you don’t want me to use that way – I will also ask you to sign a release at some point.
But for now: dance, monkey.

I have no idea if this is a reference to my song, or merely a use of the pre-existing term Code Monkey, but it is exciting nonetheless. Thanks to the many people who passed this link along…
London Calling
This is not a definite thing yet, but I see no harm in mentioning it now: it’s entirely possible, I’d even say likely, that I’m going to be playing a show in London on 3/20. (Or I guess if you’re in London, 20-3. I think. To be perfectly clear March 20th is the date. March 20th, which is about three weeks from now.)
There’s something else that needs to come together that will get me over the ocean on an airplane, and if that happens then the London show is a go. I hope to have ticket links and show time specifics in the next day or so, but the venue is going to be Dingwalls.
This is a real test of Eventful, and the power of the internet blah blah blah. There are 159 people demanding me in London, if most of them buy tickets we should be in pretty good shape. But the capacity at Dingwalls is 487, so there’s plenty of room for everyone, ha ha ha.
More soon! London! Holy crap!

This will only make sense to you if you were at the San Francisco show (or if you have a time machine and have already watched the DVD).
