So I got a call yesterday from Fran at the Improv. They booked me for another full week in September at the Improv in New Orleans. So, in addition to August 2-6, I'll be there again Sept. 20-24. I am recording my first cd in August and there will be a rush to get them done before the Sept. shows, but I think it will work out. I just gotta design the cover, insert pages, back, and cd label.
Getting some new headshots taken on Wednesday. Hopefully the shoot will go well and I can get some headshots printed within a couple of weeks. I've got a backlog of demo packages I need to send out ASAP. If the headshots come out good, I will use the same photog to shoot my cd cover, I need to get that done soon as well.
Saw a couple of things the other day that blew my mind. On my way back from Mississippi, I saw a car with some conflicting bumper stickers. One was Dropkick Murphys, one of Flogging Molly, and the other was Bush/Cheney 04. Seems like a paradox to like neo-punk music and be a republican. I am sure she was like many other music lovers out there who like the actual music, but have no idea what the fuck the lyrics are conveying. It's similar to the huge frat-boy fan base Pearl Jam has... it's like hey, have no never actually listened to the words of the songs you are screaming at the concerts? I was at a PJ show in New Orleans a couple of years ago, and Eddie Vedder started saying some dirogatory things about Bush. All of a sudden the huge contingent of frat boys started booing him. I was like, how do you buy a ticket to a Pearl Jam show, and not expect to hear that stuff? I mean, are you surprised, or are you just that much of a jackass to spend 40 bucks on a ticket to go see a band to boo them? Americans are idiots... they really are.
Then, the other day I am watching tv and I see a commercial for the Hummer S.U.V. Now, every comedian has a Hummer bit, so I am not testing this as material, it's way too hack for me, but apparently their new slogan is "Restore Your Manhood" Really? They really expect me to think that if I buy this gas guzzling, road hogging, little-dick mobile I will feel more like a man? Is the size of the car/truck/tank what constitutes a man these days? I thought it was dick size? Shit, that's gonna fuck up my whole way of thinking. The sad part is some lonely, balding middle manager at Kinko's will buy into the ad and think if he spends a year's salary on this hunk of metal, he'll feel more like a big dog. You will be big sir.... you will be a giant douchebag.
