What's up Dicky? Not much to say around here. I've been hanging out with my niece for the most part. She's two and half. Last week we went to the county fair (which I hate) so she could go on a pony ride. Then we got ice cream. Yeah, that's about how my life has been. How about you?

A couple of things for you to check out in case you get really bored. NOFX is playing on Conan O'Brian on the 10th (tuesday). That should be good. Nothing Nice to Say is supposedly getting updated this week to prepare Mitch for the Chicago Wizard World. That will rock. And lately I find myself reading Joe and Monkey. It's another online comic that gets updated daily, unlike myself and that Joe guy.

About the comic? The Toasters don't have any Michigan dates for their upcoming tour... so far. I asked 'em. And Ducky Boy's name is not Ken. That's just a line picked up from Reel Big Fish's "Viva la Internet."

If you know of any shows coming up, let us know so we can add them to the shows page. And if you're in a band, I got this email that I thought I'd share with you...
