Festive!

Hey FOT. I started a blog. It's primarily about astrology and I'd love for you to check it out:

Thanks

My latest JVP article is a reflection on being a philosophy major. Tell me if you can tell what I changed from a Hitler joke into another joke.

Also, big announcement coming soon!

Sort of extra-curricular:

The Swedish daily Sydsvenskan, to which I periodically contribute, will be handing over the news desk to ten-year-old kids on Christmas Eve

The Huffington Post was good to at least two FOT this year.  A production of Cabaret by Megan/btof's company the Hypocrites (she's the one who started the trouble with PFT over Our Town a year ago) and my own 1001 both made it on their Chicago theater top ten list.

Way to go guys!

While everyone else was having fun last night I was finishing the first issue of my new zine "Rock 'N' Roll Blank Stories."

It's 14 stories from Bruce Springsteen's career with blanks in where you fill in the words (similar to the Madlibs series of books).  Stories like "66th Annual Academy Awards Men's Room"  "Miami Steve Becomes Little Steven" "We Are The World Session Pranks" "Landau Beats The Punk Out Of Bruce" and "Madison Square Garden Tickle Fight."

Such a baller with your checkbook hanging off the side.

Any way to get copies of this? Any way at all?

PM me your address and I'll send you one.

Evan "Funk" Davies was kind enough to agree to DJ an event at MoMA that I'm helping to plan:

Tickets are available now and you get to see the Warhol exhibition and drink wine and beer and act like you're fancy. I'm not.

Was looking for the "Like" button for a second. 

That sounds great. Damn I wish I was not traveling at that time.

In the immortal words of WFMU's Benjamen Walker, "those Poprally parties are fun!"

Hoping to get more FOT on board! 

Central Jersey people, maybe some adventurous NY & PA people.
I'm sure anyone who went to either of the east coast shows
would love to go to another one.

We can carpool! What is it, like 45 min - 1 hr from NYC?

[Christina]

I just invited a whole passel of people! Is it passel or passle?

[btof]

I'll never live that accidental hoaxing down, will I?  Still, I'm happy to be on any list with my friend and scholar, Jason.
