Otterblog Alert: Surreal Social Networking

Generally, I would never hype my own press (because - uhmm, I don't get a lot except for a few "Huh?"), however, this does fall into the "Cool Things That Happened To Me" Dept.   Yours truly was featured on notable blog FourFour for the "Sitcom Sketch" I did a few months back.   Ya see - the highly talented and profiled writer of that blog, Rich, created the supercuts for the "I'm Not Here To Make Friends" part (which was popularized as a feature on "This American Life").  So, a certain sexy bird dropped him a line about my peice and I wound up on there in all my freakish glory, pink bandana and the local punchline for uhmm, a "men's spa" and all.    Gosh!!  It was like life imitating blogs imitating reality tv imitating something!   In any case, I am truly honored to have my shout out from the meme's creator...

The Grind Remains The Same...

I always associated Led Zepplin with bong-hits, never burlesque. How WRONG I was - last night, I attended House of the Unholy (A Led Zeppelin Rocklesque Extravaganza) at the Triple Door with DisGrace Jones. Put on by the uber-amazing talents of the Swedish Housewife and the fabulous Waxie Moon, they proved to us that high-caliber burlesque can rock harder than Jimmie Page. They even had Nick Garrison nailing Robert Plant on several occassions.... (No video as I'm totally intimidated and this will make my sh** look like a backyard play!!)
