I’m so proud of my horrible malady that I wrote this article about why you should date someone with ADD!
Read it. And then I guess date me?
the second Rrose Is a Rrose event is August 19 July 26, 2012
It’s going to be Ogden Nash’s birthday, and you know what that means: wacky witticisms will abound, like poached eggs nicely brown’d.
And this time, we have a headliner: Stephen Kalinich, who recorded a fantastic album of poetry in 1968 with Brian Wilson, and also contributed many wonderful songs to the Beach Boys. Most of them have an almost child-like innocence, or rather maybe a defiant, radical optimism and sense of hope. But this one, co-written with Dennis Wilson, is anything but innocent; do you know how hard it must be to make Mike Love sound sexy?
Anyway, come out August 19th to the Hedgehog and see all these amazing writers, poets, memoirists, etc… Martin Matamoros, Paloma Alexandra Parfrey, Earnest Pettie, Marianne Stewart, Gabriel Hart, Erin West, Susan Burke, Katie something-or-other, and myself.
my return to the Garage, AKA the Virgil July 19, 2012
Tonight I am DJing an event with dublab at the Virgil. For those who know me, I used to DJ every week at the Garage, many, many years ago, and then had a set once a week at dublab. So for me, DJing a dublab event at the Virgil is a super double-backed reverse return to my much younger self!
If you want to see me with a youthful glow, or give me a youthful blow, come out to the Virgil tonight.

23 Feel-Good Breakup Songs July 10, 2012
I wrote an article for Jazzed about feel-good breakup songs–you know, songs that make you say, “YEAH! What do I care about so-and-so leaving me? I have the world at my feet and a bunch of phone numbers in my pocket and I’m getting LAID tonight!” No need to cry… that will come later.
