1. Nathaniel Mayer at the Beachland. If you don't wanna dance to this guy, you ain't ever gonnna dance, shweetheart. This year he had the entire room smiling and had me doing the white girl dance (sans sweeping arm gestures, thank you.) and all without his Christmas light suit. That guy knocks my socks off.
2. Nearly robbed at gunpoint on Weds. night in the Beachland parking lot. (sorry Mark & Cindy, I'm sure this isn't the sort of online advertising you were hoping for.) Some guy walked up and attempted to pull open Jon's door and stuck a gun in his face. Luckily, Jon's lead foot saved the day. In seconds he had the car thrown in reverse and we were speeding away. Until we realized my car was still there and we had the fuzz escort me back. Let's just say I won't be driving alone to the Beachland anytime soon.
3. Happy Buy Nothing Day!!!!! Although I will be buying nothing today, I am forced to work selling stuff all night so I've made one small amendment. Today is now Buy Nothing Except Tremendous Belgian Beer From Erin Day. Dig?
4. I watched that Brian Jonestown documentary last night. Man, is that guy one messed up little cookie. Whew. I felt like I'd been on a heroin binge after the first half hour. In my own little tribute, I will be playing only 60's garage rock at work tonight. Well, and maybe a the new Tom Waits album- just cause I like it.
5. I didn't do a damn thing for Thanksgiving. My family is all over the place. Instead, I went to some shabby diner and had a fruit salad and a cup of chicken soup. You can forward your leftovers to my house if you happen to be all turkeyed-out.
I am on a Neutral Milk Hotel kick this week. If I listen to Two-Headed Boy one more time, I may just sprout another head. Could Happen.
I don't know how this all started but it's pretty damn funny.
