Dig that Crazy Sound

My pal Jason Glenn is in a band called Victoria Barnum. Interesting sound. They should get a MySpace page and turn a buck. (Or however the hep-cats do it nowadays.)

Six random things to prove I'm even more boring than you suspected.

Patrick Shawn Bagley tagged me with a meme. I'm supposed to list 6 random things about myself that you may or may not already know.

1. I Really love ABBA.

2. I visited the Soviet Union before the Iron Curtain fell.

3. On a trip with some buddies to the Keys, I abandoned ship during a storm in the Gulf of Mexico.

4. I would grill every meal if my wife let me.

5. I'm really bummed I didn't make it to the L.A. Times Festival of Books this year.

6. I'm drinking an IBC Root Beer as I write this.

Now, part of the rules is that I'm supposed to tag six other people, but I know that not everyone can handle the awesome responsibility of perpetuating a meme. So I'll take volunteers only. Feel free to post links.

Emerson LaSalle .... blogging again.

Yeah, I was surprised too since he's supposed to be dead. But go here for an explanation:
