Regular readers will have noticed that I mentioned that Geoff and I missed a friend’s Very Important Play on Friday night when Smoky took ill. I emailed him to explain and apologize, but it’s never as good as being there. I know I hate it when my friends miss my performances, even when they have a really good reason. Thankfully someone was able to videotape the experience, and in HD no less.

Why we don’t have Facebook- part the second
Or Twitter for that matter.
This popped up on Boston.com today and horrified us both. This is why we have an open and public blog. If you want to know anything about us it is right here.

Concertizing and Audience Behavior
I’ve been reading The Hub Review a lot lately. It’s well written and he gets to see and review a lot of things that I would never make it to see. What initially caused me to finally bookmark the blog was his story about some audience misbehavior, something I have talked about in the past.
Bob The Cat
As opposed to Bob’s your Uncle…
Anyway, this popped up elseweb today. I’d never heard of this but there is apparently a book out about this cat and his human now. This video is out and out adorable and I imagine that the book is as well. Enjoy.
“Cupid’s arrow” 17th Century songs from Spain and the New World ~ El Fuego in concert
Hi folks,
Another fantastic concert to announce. I may be a little biased on this one as I’m running the front of house for this and am friends with the bulk of the performers, but they’re fantastic and inventive. Please come if you can.
Thanks!
~Kelly

Never mess with dog lovers
I guess I should amend that to, “Never mess with animal lovers.” For me it is a more accurate statement as I am neither a dog nor cat person but an animal person. But, it was the dog lovers who got Michael Vick sent to jail and fired by the Atlanta Falcons. Now he’s consigned to the Philadelphia Eagles, my least favorite football team. Is he still making money? Sure. But is he being watched like a hawk? Absolutely.
Also, dogs can tear him apart whenever they like.
Oh, Internets, where art thou?
Still posting from my phone. Still no internet connectivity. Still no word from Verizon. We’re about to start a petition, or a fire, not sure which.
If you need us you know how to find us.

Verizon Fail, part whatever
I am posting this from my phone. This is our third day in a row with at least one call to Verizon to talk to “Peggy” or someone similar. Geoff has finally convinced them that, yes, we really do know what we are doing, no, we’re not going plug and unplug the damn thing again, and that the problem really is on their end.
Today they finally took us seriously and as a result they’ve completely shut off our internet connectivity. As a result we’re left to rely on our terrible AT&T cell coverage for internet service.
So, if you need to reach one or both of us DO NOT EMAIL US until we post otherwise here. Call the house, call our Google voice numbers, send us a text message, or call our cell phones as a last resort. As a reminder, our cell phones are ALWAYS our last resort as AT&T sucks.
If you are so inclined please feel free to email Verizon and tell them how awesome they are not.

Dear Verizon-
We get it. We’re stuck with you. You’re like the abusive spouse that’s got us stuck in a relationship we can’t get out of. You’ve isolated us from our friends, and the only people we know who might be able to help us out are Comcast, who’s WAY worse, and satellite internet, which we can’t afford.
