(2002 & 2005) Firefly: Ok, this show is one of my favorite things ever… but that said, I just wanna warn you that to truly get the epic experience out of it that we all so desperately desire, you’ll have to earn it by patiently cringing through some good size chunks of cheese. Serenity: Surprisingly, most of this movie comes across like a campy send-up of the show, but once again if you just hang in there… |

The day has arrived and, for lack of a better name (suggestions welcome), Zia, Kirk & Christa get to do another old school country/gospel set. Rotture and New Deal Vodka are offering up $3 drink specials to all the early birds from 9-10pm. Just one more reason to get there early. This biggest reason being we go on at 9:15pm. Kirk and I will also be trading off DJing between bands. This is a great night for being prompt.
See y’all there.

Last summer I got a call from an old friend (Michael Hebb) asking if I’d like to take part in this project that he’d put together called “Songs For Eating And Drinking” The idea was: get a bunch of musicians, feed them a great meal, ask them to preform a couple of songs and film the whole thing. The timing was perfect. Jsun Adams (The Upsidedown, and the singer on all Pete International Airport songs) and I ran through a couple of songs and decided we were ready for our debut.
When we arrived we found out that Apple was filming a special on Chase Jarvis (the photography/film half of the project) Anyway, we ended up in the thing. Here it is:
Chase Jarvis – Apple Aperture In Action.

(2008) Um, good enough. |
 |
(1999) Within the first ten minutes I was saying “am I crazy or is this my new favorite movie”, and kept on saying it through to the end. |
 |
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) The writers were showing off, the cast and crew were showing off, the dp the editor the director the agents everyone to the point where I guess if you wanna make a movie this profound its gonna take a lot of fuggin show offs. |

So I didn’t think about missing three days of actual work when my MacBook was out sick this week. No, I only really thought about what if the Apple people were to find my cache of Johnny Weir fan fiction. But now it’s Friday, my MacBook is home, and it’s time to catch up on things you have missed.
ITEM: Beat The World has a winner in the Guild Guitar contest, and that winner is Pat, from Huntsville, Alabama. Pat wins the Guild GAD-JF3012, like the one Pete played in the “Dreamt of Yes” video. Ten other winners received digital downloads. Which are great, because the computer plays them for you. Thanks to Guild Guitar, Ryan at Beat The World, and our guitar tech Elliott for all the back and forth.
ITEM: Last night I had a dream that Logan Lynn and I were BEST FRIENDS! It was pretty fun. Coincidentally, did I tell you that Logan has covered the Dandys’ 2003 hit “The Last High”? Say what? Yeah, it’s pretty great. You can buy the single at at loganlynnmusic.com.
ITEM: Courtney has a new review of Educating Rita, as well as a couple more flicks, on his movie review page.
ITEM: From the burying the lede department: Yes. We are recording a new record right now.
Good-bye!

I found the text here not quite shocking but definitely surprising. This was taken a couple years after WWII in Marseilles.
CAPTION: “IN A PADDY WAGON quarrelsome prostitutes loudly protest against being bundled off to jail. Legal prostitution was abolished in France last year, thus creating an additional enforcement problem for the Marseilles police.”

It’s been really neat for “Zia & Kirk” to be asked so often to do our country covers set. I didn’t expect it but I LOVE it. We’ve even added several songs to our repertoire because of it. Anyway, this night will be a fun one to catch us and a few other fun bands. Still working on some details like drink specials and stuff, I’ll keep you posted.

Hey, our site is a little different again. Oh, you noticed? I’m glad. I will be fiddling with the style over the weekend, so if things go crazy, it’s just me messing things up, as usual.
If you’re in Portland this weekend, please go see our friend Logan Lynn at Berbati’s. Five bucks and the show starts at 9:30.
If you have not donated to help the cause in Haiti, please consider donating to the Red Cross at your neighborhood Starbucks, or check out http://www.charitywatch.org.

Have you seen this stuff?
Holy Moley. Every DVD I own is basically fukt because of a myriad of scratches. (I am not anal about media storage). I worked on The Two Towers for about five minutes with this stuff last night and it actually worked. Whoa. Who figured this out and why did it take them so long? Cds and DVDs are almost over.
Um…. Another quality product:

If you have not donated to help the cause in Haiti, you can do so by going to you local Starbucks across the U.S. and Canada. The Starbucks Foundation will join your support by donating one million dollars (U.S.) to the American Red Cross in support of this effort.
UPDATE:
Hey all
Lee here, Dandy’s Manager. Our booking agents organized this Starbucks Haiti Relief donation drive with proceeds to The Red Cross. There are many other charities doing good work as well if you want to donate but don’t have a Starbucks near you or for any reason have political concerns in donating to The Red Cross. For more info on charities that might better appeal to your ability to donate please check out http://www.charitywatch.org/
