AND AT LAST, this link.

THAT IS ALL.

That is all

I AM IN LOS ANGELES, hiding in the very exclusive ADMIRAL’S CLUB.

NOT THE MAIN Admiral’s Club, for the normal admirals, but the extra secret one they reserve for FIRST CLASS admirals and their guests.

IT IS HIDDEN BEHIND A GLASS DOOR, and it is basically empty. Just me, a few admirals, and all the bloody Mary mix we can drink for free.

THIS IS A FINE LIFE, but soon I will be returned to NYC in order to sing a song with the AMAZING CYNTHIA HOPKINS, tonight at Joe’s Pub at 10pm.

I REGRET I CAMNOT PROVIDE YOU A LINK RIGHT NOW, for the Code of the Admirals forbids it. Perhaps someone in the comments will find it for you.

AND PERHAPS I WILL SEE YOU THERE.

That is all.

I AM BIASED, but I think it looks beautiful.

That is all.

STAND BY FOR BULLETIN ONE

BULLETIN ONE:

AS YOU PROBABLY DON’T KNOW, today is “RED NOSE DAY” in the UK (this is a small country like Rhode Island, but with a Queen).

RED NOSE DAY is a biannual event in which comedians and also normal people wear clown noses all day long in order to raise money for COMIC RELIEF.

WE HAVEN’T HEARD MUCH ABOUT COMIC RELIEF over here since the last time Billy, Robin, and Whoopi wore sweatshirts. But in the UK it remains a vibrant charity that funds all sorts of youth and anti-poverty programs throughout the world, and inspires episodes of THE OFFICE, which in turn inspires BRITISH COMEDY NERDS like Ken Plume to wonder, WHY NOT HERE?

AS SUCH, PLUMEY and many other folks are holding an internet telethon today, a kind of RED NOSE DAY IN EXILE, beginning at 12 noon EST, and going for about 24 hours.

AND BECAUSE I AM A CHARITABLE PERSON, I have agreed to stop by and annoy him about it ALL DAY LONG. I hope you will stop by and join me, and perhaps DONATE. Take it from me: annoying Ken Plume is very amusing.

(BY THE WAY, did you know that Ken Plume once claimed that, given the choice, he would prefer to lose a finger rather than lose a toe EVEN THOUGH HIS WHOLE JOB INVOLVES SITTING AT THE INTERNET ALL DAY TYPING? He cited “balance issues.” Ask him about this, and WATCH HIM GO!)

NOW STAND BY FOR BULLETIN 2…

BULLETIN 2 INCOMING:

AS PER YESTERDAY’S IMITATION OF A BLOG POST, a reader and ukulelist and PROFESSIONAL BUSKER (!) named Ian Schwartz brought to my attention the TV show HEROES‘ reference to the age old question FLIGHT vs. INVISIBILTY.

IT REMINDED ME OF THE TIME THE OC referenced Mr. Chuck Klosterman, long ago, and I challenged Schwartz to find evidence of my own poor memory.

I AM SURE IT DOES NOT SURPRISE YOU LEARN that Schwartz has triumphed:

I WILL SEND HIM A SIGNED COPY OF MY BOOK, and also a few coins to throw in his ukulele case, and as well

MY ENDLESS THANKS.

AND NOW, some music to annoy Ken Plume by from THE SOUR CANDY ORCHESTRA, Schwartz’s busking band of ukuleles and woodwinders:

REALLY IAN? You carry all of those instruments down into the subway? EVEN THE GIANT UKULELE THAT GIRL IS PLAYING WITH THE BOW?

That is all.
