Sometimes life sneaks up and surprises you when you least expect it. Last Wednesday I had to work from home because my Internet was down at the office. Basically, I sat on my couch for the whole day, trying to ignore the magical world wide web, which is constantly hypnotizing me with its powerful Siren wail. At the end of the day I was feeling unproductive and lazy and gross. So I said to myself, “you must take destiny into your own hands, me. You must do something you would not normally do, and you must do it now.”

What I did was play an open mic night. Now, back when I moved out to Los Angeles, one of my intentions was to get back into performing my music. I had developed a somewhat entertaining shtick in New York that I would drag out every now and again, but I really haven’t attempted to play my music for others in a very long time. Tonight, though, I was needing a new challenge, so I found an open mic night not far from my house and did my thing.

The next day, the venue called me and booked me for a show. This will be happening on Saturday, August 23rd, at 9:30 PM at the Pig n’ Whistle in Hollywood. I will be posting more info when the date becomes closer.

In the meantime, I’m leaping headfirst into the 20th Century. I’ve finally put up a new MySpace page with my music, which you can access right here. If you’re a MySpacer, please friend me and send my link to people who might get a kick out of it. And come see me on August 23rd! If this productive streak continues, I may very well be blowing your mind with some BRAND NEW MATERIAL.
