Mea culpa. Yes,"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><b>Weekend Update!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>Mea culpa.<\/i> Yes, I haven&#8217;t posted in nearly a week.  I know, I know&#8230;  I&#8217;ve been busy &#8211; what can I tell you?  It&#8217;s definitely been one of the more interesting weeks I&#8217;ve had in a while.  So here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been up to&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><i>I feel weary.  I feel&#8230;beery.<\/i>  With the exception of the post-mortem meeting (which is Monday night), &#8220;Roadicide&#8221; is done.  (For the moment, anyway &#8211; our fearless leader, Mike Alltop, will undoubtedly continue working on Rich Blankenship&#8217;s tale&#8230;who knows where it will lead?)  Along the way, we had some fun, had a few drinks, met some really great people [ =) ], and hopefully gave a few people in the audience something to think about.  Also, we apparently managed to piss off the manager at Chelsea Commons pub on 10th at 24th.  I don&#8217;t know what we did, but this guy was watching us like we were lepers or something.  Anyhoo, check out <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.ringoffireproductions.org\">Ring of Fire&#8217;s<\/a> website for more aftermath.  My personal thanks to everyone at HERE for their invaluable assistance.<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;Put it on the band&#8217;s tab&#8230;&#8221;<\/i>  Hmm&#8230;let&#8217;s see&#8230;good friend, cool band, booze&#8230;yep, that&#8217;s a pretty decent Friday night.  I went with Darren up to Rockafella&#8217;s up in Glen Gardner (I think) to see <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.w3pg.com\/jazzpolice\/music\/eddie\/eddie.html\">Bedbug Eddie<\/a>, and help out a little with mic cables and the like.  Fun stuff, although I was a bit more tired than I thought  &#8211; when the lead singer walks up and starts singing 3 inches from your face, and you DON&#8217;T NOTICE, that&#8217;s a pretty clear sign you need sleep.<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;If it weren&#8217;t for my horse, I wouldn&#8217;t have spent that year in college.&#8221;<\/i>  Back in New Brunswick, <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.lewisblack.net\">Lewis Black<\/a> rocked <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.stressfactory.com\">The Stress Factory<\/a> once again.  And once again, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever laughed harder.  His commentary on MTV (and especially Britney Spears&#8217; Pepsi commercial) is classic.  CLASSIC, I tell you!  Catch his act when he&#8217;s in your area&#8230; (Sorry, <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.bryanjbusch.com\/lately\">Bry<\/a>, you&#8217;ll have to wait until January.)<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;Caution:  Slurpee under extreme pressure!&#8221;<\/i>  So <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.reidsound.com\/eh\">Darren<\/a> calls me up today and tells me he&#8217;s bored.  So we go a-drivin&#8217;, trying to get lost.  (Which, by the way, is impossible.  You simply can&#8217;t get lost in New Jersey &#8211; too many interstates.  Too many FREAKIN&#8217; INTERSTATES.)  Anyway, we stop at the ol&#8217; 7-11 to get Slurpees.  I get mine with no problem.  After attempting the &#8220;finger test&#8221;, Darren discerns which flavor is to his liking, positions his cup and&#8230;manages to spray Blue Raspberry Slurpee all over himself.  Hilarity ensues.  So let that be a warning to everyone &#8211; be careful how fast you pull that Slurpee lever!<\/p>\n<p>And that pretty much brings you up to speed.  Time to settle back into a semi-regular routine, at least until the next great adventure&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weekend Update! Mea culpa.
