Is This Thing On?
You kids and your damn technologies, I tell ya’.
Back in my day (let’s just say “80s, 90s, and Aughts” for sake of argument, ok?) the only technology made available to expound one’s humor/news was typing “5318008″ in a Texas Instrument calculator as it spelled “BOOBIES”.
Well, now with Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, Fox News, it seems anyone can wax poetic about the lack of affordable, yet functional dining room furniture (re: Ikea.com). Why just the other day I read an interesting 132-character Tweet, which led me to an even more interesting Facebook post, which led me to a riveting diatribe on a local newspaper, which led me to a meeting at 9 in a back alley of some local establishment where I paid a man $40 to lick my ear canals clean. CRAZY!
Anywho, I’ll be leveraging this synergistic avenue to share with you stories, news alerts, weather tips, and business vernacular for use in your day-to-day happenings.
Until then, happy birthday Laura (her 24th), go America, and remember, a pubic hair on TOP of a urinal is there for luck.

FlashMob! opens for Soul Asylum
FlashMob! had the distinct privilege of opening for Minnesota legend, Soul Asylum, this summer at Lakeville’s massive Pan-o-Prog Summer Festival.The show was a hit, and the reviews were all very positive (some excessively so).
One of the best parts about being in FlashMob! is getting the chance to share the stage with great Minnesota bands, like GB Leighton, Martin Zellar, Good for Gary, Mick Sterling, Uncle Chunk, and on and on.
The event was held outside near Babe’s Music Bar in Lakeville, a regular stomping ground for the us. (Check the schedule to see when Babe’s is up next.) We hit it for about 75 minutes, then cleared out for Soul Asylum. Great crowd, great sound. All around fantastic show.
And a special thanks goes out to Soul Asylum for including us in the killer show (and for being pretty damn cool when we got to briefly chat).

I have yet to post anything. At all. Nothing. Nada. Zip.
