Hey Everyone-

Pope-Mania! Comin' At-cha!

Do you think I punched my ticket to hell by being totally annoyed that the Pope
screwed up traffic all around my studio the last couple of days? probably. i
dunno. i'm not catholic, so I don't get the whole Pope thing. I mean no offense
to those catholics out there, i am just stating that I don't get it. that is
all.

i do gotta give the pope some props in owning up to the mis-handling of the sex
abuse scandal. taking responsibility for one's actions goes a long way. now if
only more people would step up and own up to their mistakes (mr. bush?).

Important date!

This Saturday is National Record Store Day. Go out and support your local record
shop. The good folks at Crooked Beat in Adams Morgan tipped me off, so they will
be getting a visit from me on Saturday.
