Today, my office: Postmaster calling: "I would like to talk to someone about your driver yesterday." Me:
Years ago, I did a poster for a new Renaissance Faire and I included a rabbit in the design. Someone said "what's with the rabbit?" and I said "tha's no oordinary rabbit!" and that seemed to be good enough but now finally 6 or 8 years later, someone put two and two together and they asked, "can we have a dragon this year?"
........These replaced the ones with the infamous "A Great Land Outdoors" slogan that was so nonsensical it had people ready to storm the castle.

Kinda makes sense to me. Take a person who has lived much of the waking hours inside a shopping mall complex. For that person, it would be the Great Land Indoors.
Wow! The state tries out new slogans every so often, but despite all the WTFs from the people, they refuse to actually consult with anyone, including their own dep't of tourism for, y'know, a unified message. These replaced the ones with the infamous "A Great Land Outdoors" slogan that was so nonsensical it had people ready to storm the castle. So this can only mean we're getting a new slogan! Hooray!

I'm not familiar with Otis Gibbs' music but he has a podcast where he interviews other musicians. Most of them you will have heard of, maybe not super famous, but still. A friend sent me the link to this one with Mojo Nixon and it's manic, hilarious, profane... and interesting.
A couple of notes: Mojo Has a song called "Don Henley Must Die." Here he tells the story of Don showing up at a club, demanding to sing it. Mojo has an album called Otis. It gets a little confusing since the podcast host's name is Otis.
I've listened to a couple other podcasts from this guy and they're good, sometimes funny. Otis himself is about 9 levels less entertaining than the guests are, but he edits himself out almost completely and just lets the guests go off.
I think this episode with Mojo tho is a great way to kick off a weekend!
Mojo is one of those people you think is putting on an act (like Andy Kaufman) except he really is always like thatâlike Hunter Thompson. Hard to believe he's still alive but I'm glad he is.
I was cleaning out the garage and ran across some promo posters for the Frenzy! album plus a couple of contracts from when I put him in a tiny (52 seats) club with Screaming Trees opening. I should bring that up on his FB page.
