Forgot to post a title
Bill is probably cursing my name (and yours, too) as we speak/write, yearning for the post I promised to do from work this afternoon. Oddly, I've been busy since I got here. Definitely unusual for me. Earlier this week, we were overstaffed and I did two stories plus obits, for a total of one hour of work. I spent the other part of the evening reading Harry Potter at my desk. I have no shame. (unlike the people in Jersey. but that's another story.)
As Steve has dubbed me a "concert junkie," I started thinking about how I've been to a live show four out of the last seven nights. So yeah, I guess I am. But most of it is just small, local stuff. And here's my little PR bit: Spinto Band, out of Wilmington, Del., is a great show. It's seven guys, none of whom are older than 23 or so. I only plug this b/c they're going to be at the Jackpot Saloon on Aug. 6, and I want people to go out and see them (I would go, since I'll be done here, but I've got a date with Springsteen in St. Louis that night). Also check out Walker Lundee. They only play around here, but you can hear them online. If you don't like upbeat, poppy music, disregard my suggestions.
On Wednesday I went to see Elvis Costello and the Imposters featuring Emmylou Harris. This was fuck-I'm-dead amazing. He played for three hours straight. My best friend even flew out from KC for the show. He played his classics. He played the classics. Johnny Cash. Merle Haggard. Nazareth. OK, so Nazareth isn't "the" classics. I didn't know what to do afterwards accept smoke cigarettes on my stoop.
This is totally self-indulgent. I'm sorry. This is why I can't have a blog.
In the professional world... ah, screw it, I don't care. I want to quit copy editing and become a rock star.

Yeah, I'm posting the first comment on my own blog. So? Anyway, I just remembered an actually interesting story Kansanites might care about, so I'm just leaving a little P&P teaser...

"I didn't know what to do afterwards accept smoke cigarettes on my stoop."
Something tells me she doesn't have a copy editing gig just yet.
