What You Missed, First Week Of February 2010

So I didn’t think about missing three days of actual work when my MacBook was out sick this week. No, I only really thought about what if the Apple people were to find my cache of Johnny Weir fan fiction. But now it’s Friday, my MacBook is home, and it’s time to catch up on things you have missed.

ITEM: Beat The World has a winner in the Guild Guitar contest, and that winner is Pat, from Huntsville, Alabama. Pat wins the Guild GAD-JF3012, like the one Pete played in the “Dreamt of Yes” video. Ten other winners received digital downloads. Which are great, because the computer plays them for you. Thanks to Guild Guitar, Ryan at Beat The World, and our guitar tech Elliott for all the back and forth.

ITEM: Last night I had a dream that Logan Lynn and I were BEST FRIENDS! It was pretty fun. Coincidentally, did I tell you that Logan has covered the Dandys’ 2003 hit “The Last High”? Say what? Yeah, it’s pretty great. You can buy the single at at loganlynnmusic.com.

ITEM: Courtney has a new review of Educating Rita, as well as a couple more flicks, on his movie review page.

ITEM: From the burying the lede department: Yes. We are recording a new record right now.

Good-bye!

Quarrelsome Prostitutes

I found the text here not quite shocking but definitely surprising.  This was taken a couple years after WWII in Marseilles.

CAPTION:  ”IN A PADDY WAGON quarrelsome prostitutes loudly protest against being bundled off to jail. Legal prostitution was abolished in France last year, thus creating an additional enforcement problem for the Marseilles police.”

DJ RESCUE @ Rotture (PDX) FEBRUARY 18

It’s been really neat for “Zia & Kirk” to be asked so often to do our country covers set. I didn’t expect it but I LOVE it. We’ve even added several songs to our repertoire because of it. Anyway, this night will be a fun one to catch us and a few other fun bands. Still working on some details like drink specials and stuff, I’ll keep you posted.

Notes for Friday Jan 22

Hey, our site is a little different again.  Oh, you noticed?  I’m glad.  I will be fiddling with the style over the weekend, so if things go crazy, it’s just me messing things up, as usual.

If you’re in Portland this weekend, please go see our friend Logan Lynn at Berbati’s. Five bucks and the show starts at 9:30.

If you have not donated to help the cause in Haiti, please consider donating to the Red Cross at your neighborhood Starbucks, or check out http://www.charitywatch.org.

Quality Products

Have you seen this stuff?

Holy Moley. Every DVD I own is basically fukt because of a myriad of scratches.  (I am not anal about media storage).   I worked on The Two Towers for about five minutes with this stuff last night and it actually worked. Whoa.  Who figured this out and why did it take them so long?  Cds and DVDs are almost over.

Um….  Another quality product:
