Thursday July 22nd, 2010 - Milwaukee, WI

   One year ago today, I made my national television debut on “The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson” on CBS. Tonight I made my featured festival debut in my hometown of Milwaukee at German Fest in front of three people, and then it rained so hard the festival closed and the grounds were evacuated. This was a downpour of epic biblical proportions.

   All I could do to retaliate was laugh, and the crescendo came wh... Read More

   Ask and ye shall receive. I discovered a listing website where radio talk show hosts are able to troll for guests that match the format of their show.

   Where did it come from? Was it a guardian angel? A ‘spirit guide‘? Was it all just a big coincidence? I don’t feel it w... Read More

   Yeesh, this thing is deeper than I thought. I felt a lot worse than yesterday, so I ended up sleeping most of the day away yet again. I’ve found that’s the best way to let this pass so I don’t bring anyone else down. When it gets like this, I don’t want to be around anybody.

   I doubt if anyone wants to be around me either. I was supposed to go over to hang out at Mark Gumbinger’s house with som... Read More
