About This Weekend's Show...

Okay:

And so I have a gig on Sunday night.

You are now the second person to know.

My friends were railing me today about the inexcusable lack of promotion.

"You're opening for The Cool Kids!"

"They're huge!"

"Where are the fliers?!"

What was my response? A solemn, "I know."

I guess I assumed that because The Cool Kids are such a "huge" act, they'd be their own draw, and it would be Joe and I's opportunity to perform for a new set of ears and eyes. You know that old Eddie Murphy sketch about the woman who marries Johnny Carson and insists on keeping a part-time job.

"I just got paid, Johnny. Now we have two-hundred-million-and-seventy dollars. Put that with the rest."

I guess that's kind of how I was looking at it. But in retrospect, it seems silly. Now the "big gig" is two short days away and, apparently, no one knows about it.

I guess I have yet to figure out the whole Internet marketing thing. And the truth is, I'm not much of a business man. As my sister once told me, and not in a malicious way, "You ain't no Puff Daddy."

But in the climate of today's music industry, what with all the downloading and message boards and social networking sites, one must learn.

So, in the spirit of my favorite procrastinator's maxim, "It's never too late", I'll be initiating a full-court press of promotion for one day. I'm going to utilize all my powers to insure that I get everyone I know to come out and show some support on Sunday.

I will be performing with my Dirty Water cohort, Joe D, backed by The Els. If you've never seen me in person, I'll be the handsome gentleman at the bar sweating profusely, wringing his hands, mumbling to himself and nursing a glass of scotch. That is, until showtime. At which point I will transform into an articulate and energetic erection with a keen sense of style.

Hope to see you there. And, please, help spread the word.
