Rockstar Storytellers: A little bit more famous

Minnesota Microphone just did a nice, lengthy piece on our Word Ninjas Open Mic. And here's a picture of me, being a person I never thought I'd be years after telling Liz my hatred of "girls with bangs and glasses":

For those of you out there that don't have a Rockstar Storytellers CD yet (what? Comment here if you want one - 2 discs, $10, and we'll ship anywhere! ANYWHERE! Yes, we'll ship to Mars, Gjythphtzbol.) and haven't heard my storytelling stylings, I was featured on the bonus reel of MPR's In The Loop. Download the podcast here. And this dude mentioned us on his blog!

On a completely different note, here's the catch phrases from 30 Rock that I will be easing into my lexicon:

Ya Burnt!
By the Hammer of Thor!
Blerg!

On another completely different note, I'm reading Steve Martin's autobiography and flying through it. That dude is one inspirational muther-effer.

And on another completely different note, my mother, and I quote via an email message she sent me, "got a little swell-headed from reading your blog and review of the recipe book; it made it all seem worth while and glad that I followed through with it." As well she should be.

Good night! And thanks for reading.

SHOOOWWWWZZZZ

Holy Crap. I need an assistant.

Thank goodness Wonder Dave wrote on my Facebook wall about tonight's show or else, I would have been a no-show and I'm sure there would have been a black mark on my Twin Cities performance rep because you do not want to let Wonder Dave down. This is not to say that he is a relentless bookie or anything. I just seriously don't want to let him down because I feel like he wants me to get up and do slam poetry (yeah, I know, WHAT? me? A poetess? maybe) and seems to love me and lord knows I don't want that love to wane due to my famous flakiness. Flakiness is fear. Or over-booking. Or not having a car. Luckily, this show is right near my house (no you may NOT come over afterwards. Oh, okay, for ONE drink. And a shot.)

TONIGHT! at 8pm
At The Beat Coffeehouse
1414 West 28th Street in Uptown (1/2 block East of Hennepin)


(This is listed as an "Erotic Party" on Facebook... I am not promising anything, but after a drink and a shot at my house, who knows what can happen?!?)

And tomorrow night??? OH YEAH!



Your Friendly Neighborhood Rockstars are BACK at Bryant Lake Bowl!

Tuesday, October 28 at 7pm
(doors at 6pm)
Bryant Lake Bowl
810 W. Lake Street, Minneapolis!

PS - the BLB site lists us at 10pm - NO! WE ARE AT 7PM!!!!

This month's show is "The Music Hour." Yours truly is hosting AND accompanying on the banjo the irreverent Mr. Mike Fotis as he yells at a desk (and it's the funniest thing you ever did see). Also telling are Amy Salloway, Ben San Del, Joseph Scrimshaw, Dave Mondy, and Allegra Lingo.

We'll be living up to our name - you may as well put money on it.

See you TONIGHT OR TOMORROW!!!
