Two Important Dates

1. Listen to KFMG 99.1 FM this Sunday afternoon between 2 – 4 pm to catch an acoustic set by $trick9 & The Truth. Our pal Jeff (from the Baberhood) hosts. It’ll be killer. Big Joe McGuire will be pounding a mean conga. Botics on beats and strings. Duke on acoustic bass. Matty J on melodies. $trick9 sticks to words spoken quickly and rhythmically.

2. Spring Dandy is Sunday, May 3, 2009. It’s a ride from Union Park up to Cottonwood and back. Then, we will grill something tasty. Ride leaves Union Park around 10:30 am. Bicycles are strongly encouraged. I will most likely not reply to anyone who asks if they can roller skate it. Its free. All you have to do is bring a smile.

I keep imagining it is going to be like a Transformer.  I’ll go out; it will look like a bike, and then, through an elaborate series of twists and turns, it will become a giant mechanical creature bent on destroying the Earth, or fighting crime, or whatever the hell the Transformers did.  I didn’t ask my dad to morph the bikes. In fact, I’m still not sure why he bought the other bike at all, but it happened and maybe by the end of the day I’ll have a crime-fighting, Earth-destroying mode of transportation.

you can hear the the full album on white noise all week long.  if you like it, for god’s sake buy it on itunes.
