Hey folks, I’m one of the judges at the Literary Death Match tonight.
Not exactly sure what that means but it sounds like a good time. Arthur Bradford, author of Dog Walker will be one of the contestants, if you don’t come see him read tonight at least go out and get his books. He’s pretty awesome. Maybe I’ll see some of you down there.
If you told me you thought this was the greatest movie ever made I wouldn’t actually be able to say you were wrong so I would just say “yeah or Star Wars”
Me and Fatty, The Dutch Masters, are playing at a pretty cool benefit this Saturday. It’s for 2 organizations that provide job experience & music resources for homeless kids in Portland. There will be an auction of glass orbs that local artists have done and a bunch of other things that could make for cheap, nifty Christmas presents. These people do really good work and it’ll be super fun. Voodoo Doughnuts, a marching band, Hot Dog on a Stick, aerial acrobats, a drag queen and Kevin and Anita from Viva Voce are playing too. So come down and throw a little money around. It’ll be amazing. Check out www.pdxydc.org
Hey, here is the pre-sale dealie for the Italian Christmas shows in Seattle and Portland. Lee wanted me to tell you that those who buy pre-sale tickets will get five bucks ($5) off in our merch store. Well that’s good news!
Oh. The login is ‘thedandywarhols‘ and the password is ‘aresound‘.
As Dandy Warhols, we like to take a different approach to Christmas: a little more Old World and a lot more jaunty. Take Italy. Their holiday season is comparable in length to the common American holiday season, but with its baked eel and lumps of coal and mash-ups with what we think of as Halloween traditions – La Befana the Epiphany witch, children in costumes going from door to door for treats – it seems a hell of a lot more festive than a fat man whipping flying deer to bring you an iPhone, doesn’t it? We are on a mission to convince Christendom that Italy does it best. But these things take time; Rome wasn’t bilked in a day. Easing into the task we commence this year with our annual Christmas shows with the introduction of a sliver of sunny Italy to the Northwest’s dreary environs. Just a taste, a Fellini twist on the usual Dandys holiday performance, with shows on December 11th at Nuemos in Seattle and December 12th and 13th at Portland’s Wonder Ballroom. Ticket link on Wednesday.
Here are some guidelines set down from The New World Book of Taylors. As there have been Taylors coming to the new world dating back to the early 1700’s, apparently there needed to be rules for them. Us.
Holy shizz Gothman was right, this movie is legendary ridiculous powerful genius unforgettable embarrassing can you believe Humphrey Bogart with Leslie Howard and Bette Davis in a sexy dude version of that Edward G. Robinson film Key Largo.
