Tooting My Own Horn

I just got a call from a stranger who was super stoked on my Urban Outfitters window. He said that he wanted to buy whatever hadnt sold. I explained to him that everything had been spoken for but I planned on making more stuff. His actual quote was, "It would bring a smile to my face everytime i walked past, and I was disapointed to see it come down." I was blushing like a school girl.

I need some advice. Should I make a website or something? Who wants to be my manager?

Mitch!


Mitch Headberg has a new album out (yes i know he is dead)! It was recorded just prior to his death. Expect 40 minutes of new material in Mitch's classic style of wordplay, non-sequiturs, whimsy, and object observations.

For your laughter, here are some of my favorite lines from the man:

Fish are always eating other fish. If fish could scream, the ocean would be loud as shit. You would not want to submerge your head, nothing but fish going "Ahhh, fuck! I thought I looked like that rock!"

I want to hang a map of the world in my house then I’m gonna put pins into all the locations that I’ve travelled to. But first I’m gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won’t fall down.

I was walking by a dry cleaner at 3 a.m., and it said "Sorry, we're closed." You don't have to be sorry. It's 3 a.m., and you're a dry cleaner. It would be ridiculous for me to expect you to be open. I'm not gonna walk by at ten and say, "Hey, I walked by at three, you guys were closed. Someone owes me an apology. This jacket would be halfway done!"

I would imagine if you understood Morris Code a tap dance would make you crazy…

I ordered a chicken sandwich but I think the waitress misunderstood me because she said, "How would you like your eggs?" So I tried to answer her anyhow. I said "Incubated, and then raised, and then beheaded, and then plucked and then cut up then put onto a grill then put onto a bun. Shit, it's gonna take awhile. I don't have time, scrambled!"

My manager saw me drinking backstage and he said "Mitch, don't use liquor as a crutch." I can't use liquor as a crutch, because a crutch helps me walk. Liquor severely fucks up the way I walk. It ain't like a crutch, it's like a step I didn't see.

My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana, I said "no, but I want a regular banana later, so ... yeah".

When you buy a box of Ritz crackers, on the back of the box, they have all these suggestions as to what to put on top of the Ritz. "Try it with turkey and cheese. Try it with peanut butter." But I like crackers man, that's why I bought it, 'cause I like crackers! I don't see a suggestion to put a Ritz on top of a Ritz. I didn't buy them because they're little edible plates! You've got no faith in the product itself.

My lucky number is four billion. That doesn't come in real handy when you're gambling. "Come on four billion! Fuck! Seven. Not even close. I need some more dice. Four billion divided by six, at least."

I like rice. Rice is great when you're hungry and you want 2,000 of something.

I have no problem not listening to the temptations... which is weird.

I like when they bring a comedian on stage, they always tell you what else they do. But fuck, this is enough, isn't it? He's here tonight performing, because that is his job! But no, it's gotta be, "He laid bricks in Philadelphia. And he repaired a car in Oklahoma. He has an umbrella store in Philadelphia. That's the only city that comes to mind right now. Philadelphia, 'cause you can say "Philly" and the people from Philadelphia will not get mad. Like if you say "Frisco," San Francisco people say, "Fuck off!" But if you say "Philly" they say, "Alright!" Because I don't always have time to say "Philadelphia." Sometimes I just need that word to be two syllables. Phil-a-del-phi-a. Fuck, five! Your town would be called Philly too if it had five syllables!

thanks Dave!

Barracuda

They played "Barracuda" at the RNC after Palin's speech. Heart sent them a ceast and desist notice. HA!
I love that song.

What ever happened to?


Amerie's Album?("Because I Love It) I remember thinking this quite often last year after the single "Take Control" dropped...
Take Control - Amerie
That question just popped into my brain again today so I looked into it... It never came out in the states!?! Weird considering her previous album touch had some serious bangers. Just got my hands on it via the cyberweb and quickly scanning though the first half is great, slow jams on the back end, I'm gonna let em perculate a minute...
Check "Gotta Work"...
I never saw this video or heard the single, Euro only?
*Amerie - Gotta Work* -
BTW if you know Amerie tell her I said hi!

Tetons 2008

I went to the Tetons.


Saturday flew from Philadelphia to Chicago to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Got the rental car and Hiked 5.5 miles around Taggart and Bradley Lake with a 674 foot elevation change. Ate at the Snake River Brew Pub and slept at the 49er.






Sunday woke up early to catch the boat across Jenny Lake an hiked 14 miles to Inspiration Point and Hidden Falls to the fork in the upper Cascade Canyon. 1427 elevation change spotting moose, brown bear, and small snakes. Stayed at the Jackson Lake Lodge.

Monday eight miles of scenic blue and eight of the white on the Snake River with Dave Hanson. Saw tons of bald eagles, osprey, mule deer, and trout. Stayed at the Jackson Lake Lodge.



Tuesday did the entire lower loop at Yellowstone. Saw tons of Bison, eagles, osprey, and four grizzly bears feeding on a bison carcass along with a wolf. Old faithful.



Wednesday ate and relaxed. Staying at the Snake River Spa this was by far my favorite part of the trip. For anyone who has ever shared a living space with me could attest to my infatuation with bathing. This was my Mecca. Not only did they had a jacuzzi, and sauna downstairs by the pool; they had a men’s locker room fit for royalty. With a steam room, hot tub, sauna, showers, swedish showers, and a rain room. Nirvana.








Thursday we rode about twenty miles on horseback with the
Jackson Hole Outfitters from Alpine on the Grays River Trail Head. Saw mountain goats, and cooked hamburgers on an open flame just by wrapping them in aluminum foil. First time really ridding and definitly won’t be my last.








Friday we hiked 16.8 miles up the death Canyon Trail head to Phelps Lake to the Static Peak trail and then scrambled to the Peak Static Peak is a mountain summit in Teton County in the state of Wyoming (WY). Static Peak climbs to 11,211 feet (3,417.11 meters) above sea level. Static Peak is located at latitude - longitude coordinates (also called lat - long coordinates or GPS coordinates) of N 43.682707 and W -110.816046. 4603 foot climb, overlooking all of Jackson, Idaho and right at South and Grand Teton.







Saturday we spent most of the day dorking around, packing, sight seeing in the town of Jackson, and of coarse eating trout. Stopped by to tour the Jackson National Fish Hatchery. Took a small hike up the side of Jackson Hole Mountain, and they are in the process of fixing the tram for the upcoming season. Bought some new Patagonia Drifters at Jack Dennis, and rocked the Jackson Rodeo.

Two of the Best Shows that I Won't Be Going To

So Danzig

is playing at the Electric Factory

with Dimmu Borgir

on October Fourteenth.

When I was a kid we used to go dumpster diving in the Relapse Records dumpster. Relapse used to have offices in Lancaster. We used to find some crazy shit. Old records and CDs. There were always tons of magazines. I still to this day have never heard what Dimmu Borgir sounds like (I thought of youtubing them but I find it funny that I have no clue) but I will always remember their name and remember laughing my ass off at their press photos. This one is really plain from what I remember. The other band/guy I remember laughing at was


Mortiis.

The only thing that sucks is I always thought he actually looked like that. Turns out it's just make up.

WTF?!

Wasilla Assembly of God Clip

Im not really down with JC. Someone explain to me what the hell these people are doing? seriously?

Crumb


There is a R. Crumb Exhibit tonight at the ICA.

Skate Stairs

THIS IS NOT COOL

THIS is a really good article about Sarah Palin in Time Magazine.
But the following paragraph got me really angry:

[Former Wasilla mayor] Stein says that as mayor, Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. “She asked the library how she could go about banning books,” he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. “The librarian was aghast.” The librarian, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn’t be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire her for not giving “full support” to the mayor.

WTF?!! You just drew the line in the sand Tina Fey! Dont let me catch you in the streets!!
