sweet sunshower

boy, was it sunny today or what?

that sounds like the opening of a late night talk show monologue. but, it's not. it's just the blog opening. i have no jokes to follow.

i wanted to THANK YOU all for your support around attending the Crash Kings show on 4 february, even after we are seeing them on the 31st. here's the update:

- i was downstairs at work, checking in with my boss. i kept debating on whether or not to ask for the night off. i was sooo torn. back and forth in my head for like, 15 minutes. and then finally, as she was putting on her coat and getting the dog on the leash, i blurted:

JULIE: UM, ACTUALLY I WAS HOPING I COULD TAKE ANOTHER NIGHT OFF.... I'M SO SORRY IT'S LAST MINUTE.... IT'S 4 FEBRUARY.... I UNDERSTAND IF IT WON'T HAPPEN BECAUSE IT'S LATE NOTICE....
MY BOSS: What night of the week is that?
JULIE: UM, IT'S A THURSDAY....
MY BOSS: Oh yeah, that's fine.
JULIE: REALLY!?!?
MY BOSS: Yeah, of course! You seem surprised!
JULIE: I am! I didn't think it would happen because it's kind of last minute!
MY BOSS: No, it's not last minute. Last minute would be the morning of.


ha! i got the night off. i immediately texted kara the good news and she's pretty freaking excited. this was her exact quote (via text message)

KARA: i'm excited to make out with them!

yep. she's my sister, all right. and i've taught her well. it was a proud moment for me.


and now i must show you a freaking crazy sexy insane picture of Tony playing the clav:




yeah. yeah, i know. no really - I KNOW. does it get much sexier? um, i'm doubt it. hott boy playing the piano? JV knows what i'm talking about...

AND, i'm going to continue my method of jamming Crash Kings music into your brain, and post these videos. i would strongly encourage you to view them. i posted them a little while ago with a link to a radio station's website that had them posted. but now they're on Youtube, and i'm posting those links.

it's Tony, solo, playing the hits:
CRASH KINGS, 'It's Only Wednesday'
CRASH KINGS, 'Mountain Man'

great songs. normally, i like 'it's only wednesday' better, but when i watch these videos, i like 'mountain man' better. (and ooooo he looks sooo great with his tattoo.)

AND, if you want to read a review of their most recent show (where i got the hott pic seen above) please read here:

There are 40 of us who can say, “I remember seeing Crash Kings in this small club…” Big things lie on the road ahead for this trio.

ok. and that was my music promotion for the day.


now i'm going to go eat supper because i'm very hungry. i hope tonight is much quieter than last night. our new intern is GREAT. i really like her. she seems like a very excited person.

alright. hope everyone had a wonderful day.

apparently it's hailing right now in LA, but that shouldn't keep you from going to THE SILVERLAKE LOUNGE for THE CALIFORNIAN debut!!!!!

(man, i actually did lots of music promotion today)

it's currently 11:15pm here, which means it's only 8:15 on the west coast. SO, if you're reading from there, you still have time to get to the show.

alright, NOW i'm really going to go eat some supper. and maybe watch the Nicolas Cage movie.

it's almost time for another birthday shout out.... GET READY.


have a great night!!! talk to you soon!
