https://positivenegativity.wordpress.com/2011/02
Monthly Archives: February 2011. Eight months of books. February 28, 2011. Looking back at the books I’ve read over the last couple of month, I’m a little ashamed. For the most part they are all frivolous, easy reads. With moving to Seattle in July, and my work being uber-crazy chaotic for several months, serious reading wasn’t what I wanted. Back in the days when I still had cable I would try to catch Chelsea Lately. Is the start of a new series by Jasper Fforde. And is a hard book to describe. The firs...

November 11, 2011. It’s The Sparkle You Become. I did not take this picture, I found it on the interweb. After some research I believe it is from PurplePR Music. When they announced Bjork’s. For the Manchester International Festival. We already had the tickets to. Our plane tickets, and some of the trip planned out. The only show we could fit in was on the day we arrived, a short 4 hours after landing. Again Morgan surprised me by saying he would go, not that I wouldn’t have gone by myself.

November 14, 2011. I’m plucky and adventury. I have a history with. Pirates of Penzance,. It got easier once the. Starting spoofing it. I’ve seen the movie several times now, and finally had a chance to see it a production, although slightly different from how I imagine Gilbert and Sullivan. You know how on TV shows and in movies they show neighborhood kids putting on a show? It was a risky venture to do an open so flippantly. When we walked into the Freehold Theater. With only a couple of people playing...

The other night the guests were all musicians,neo-nerd rock cult hero Jonathan Coulton. From The Long Winters. Also a heckler in the audience turned out to be John Flansburgh. He later he walked awkwardly on stage to sing a song I did not recognize, it could be in Hodgman’s new book,. He had it in his hand and opened it at the podium. I only just started it. Next post →.

Monthly Archives: March 2011. DEVO @ The Moore. March 27, 2011. When I was a kid, probably around 8 or 9 I had a walkman and two tapes, Culture Club. Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! I’ve known all my life that I had to see DEVO, something I can now cross off my bucket list. And it unintentionally became a date night for Morgs and I, dinner, shopping and a show. We got to the show about half way through The Octopus Project. Don’t Shoot (I’m a Man). Secret Agent Man (Johnny Rivers cover). March 25, 2011.

Puppets don’t have lawyers. | Positive Negativity.
https://positivenegativity.wordpress.com/2011/11/22/puppets-dont-have-lawyers
November 22, 2011. Puppets don’t have lawyers. I don’t think anyone really knows how much I nerd out about They Might Be Giants. This year TMBG released two of their best albums in the last ten years and are riding high on the current nerd renaissance. The show at Showbox Sodo. Or “Snail Shell”. It’s doubtful they are anyone’s favorite songs. Also, I think it is time they retire “Particle Man”. And a surprisingly good version of “You Probably Get That A Lot”. And “Dead”. As the second encore. I have to a...
