His heart went KABOOM!

Really, is anyone shocked that Billy Mays most likely died of a heart attack?  After all, we have hours of footage of him getting totally worked up over the smallest things, like throwing a ball of detergent into the wash or shoving a hook through drywall.  His adrenaline levels would be pushed to the edge [...]

Photos from The Celt, June 24 and 25

Awesome time at the Celt this last weekend!  Were you there?

More pics…

This was a very unfortunate part of the show, when Jay lost his teeth and I passed a kidney stone right on stage.

Meet the Baldies!

Yes, that is my enormous hand and Guinness.

On the left is John.  Later that night, he, my friend Matt, and [...]

Sounds from the beyond

I don’t like to discuss this much, because it’s so odd and creepy, but here goes… 
I get communications from the dead. 
It’s usually immediately after someone crosses over that I begin hearing his or her voice, often with some important piece of information to pass on to the living.  It’s a gift, but sometimes… a curse.
This [...]

Maggie O’ Malley’s pics from June 12, 2009… er… stupid camera…

Yeah, well, I took pics that night, I know I did, but my digital camera has failed me.  So you’ll just have to imagine all the pretty faces in the room.
So instead, I give you Bert and Ernie on a boat.  Explicit language ahead (yes, puppets cursing is ALWAYS funny).

Maggie O’ Malley’s pics from June 5, 2009

Were YOU there?

No, that’s not me.  Some dude named Hector asked if he could do a few songs he’d written in between my sets.  I figure sure, what the hell, worst case scenario, he’s drunk, smashes my guitar, and I get to go home early.  But he didn’t.  He rocked.  Quite good.

Wii all live in a Yellow Submarine

Monday saw the release of a trailer for the upcoming Beatles version of Rock Band, which is a video game of some sort.  Check it out:

It looks awesome, but I’m torn if I will buy it.  I am a Beatles fanatic, and the coolness of playing along with creepy animated versions of John, Paul, George, [...]
