MMJ is the coolest band on the planet...and I saw Michael Stipe smoking a cigarette downtown w/ Bill Berry. It was nice to see the other side of the computer screen and get to hang out w/ Ashley for a significant amount of time. Of course, I'll take any excuse I can get to wander around various thrift stores and dollar generals, dress up in a hideous Hawaiian shirt w/ 'sailorish' sports coat, a homemade boutonniere of fake flowers, and a foam fish visor meant for a five-year old...and then go see one of the best live bands around in a small club decorated like an 80's movie prom with a bunch of other people who look even more ridiculous than me. You don't even need to be 'hatfaced' to enjoy a night like that.

Since Levi's is our sponsor, all that we can wear at the spot is their jeans...so we all get free Levi's of our choosing [hello skinners!]
Oh, I talked to Moe at ASO and he said that the job is mine once the partners sign off on it. Apparently two of the three partners are already on board but one isn't sure and they've been really busy w/ a lot of new pitches, etc...hopefully it'll all be worked out by the time I get back from SXSW. The freelance gig is a go as well, but their website just crashed so it's delaying the start of my work there too...come on man
- tough luck x 2 - at least all of the shows give me strength [at the expense of my ailing credit card]
