We went to the big Christmas show at Radio City Music Hall last week. Victoria had never been and I was pretty sure it was probably a little different from when I saw it in 1964 with my Mom and sister. Now, The Rockettes being aliens, would make an awesome Christmas movie, and make a […]

One of the great things about living in New York is you hear and see stuff walking around The City. Crazy stuff. Intimate stuff. More crazy stuff. Pro tip, when you visit New York City, pay attention to what you talk about on the street cause… we’re all listening, and you could end up in […]

I do say it’s my birthday. And it is. Today is my actual birthday. Well the actual birthday was 68 years ago, but who the hell can even count that high, let alone remember the fireworks display and three days of drunken partying that took place in Lexington, Kentucky? Like many parties since, I can’t […]

It’s that time of year. Yep, it’s officially “Neither Here Nor There.” That time of year when it’s just sad if you still have your Halloween decorations up, and those Thanksgiving leftovers are getting dangerously old, and… it’s just way too early to open your Christmas / Hanukkah / Kwanzaa presents. You never had an […]

So… we all know the Pilgrims sailed across the ocean blue on a ship called The Mayflower, laden with cans of cranberry sauce and that’s why we have Thanksgiving. What you may not know is that there was another boat on that epic voyage. Yep, a ship called The Speedwell set sail with The Mayflower. […]

So, it’s way too freaking cold today, and I’m dragging our beat up little cart behind me on my way to Trader Joe’s. Yep, show business is glamorous. I crossed Third at 53rd Street and about 50 steps in, I stopped. Not because someone was admiring my new pork pie hat (which is pretty dapper), […]

Well, aren’t we being “Mr. I’m-So-Deep-And-Philosophical” this week, you say? And even if you didn’t say it, just go with me cuz otherwise I got nothing to write about this week. I saw “What Does Happily Ever After Look Like?” on a bus, or in the men’s room at The Horny Ram (which is an […]

I know. You got up extra early this morning. Made your bed. Had a hearty breakfast and, so as not to burn yourself again, carefully carried your second cup of steaming hot coffee to your computer and… waited. It was only 6:30am EDT after all, and although you knew our emails aren’t sent out until […]

FDUK. Cardiff. Opening for Pink Floyd. Good times. FDUK was kind of like going to summer camp, if summer camp took place in the cold and damp of drizzly October with lots of beer and darts and crazy fun people who you had lots of deep conversations with, but never actually understood one single word […]

We came. We saw. We FDUKed. Yep… and an amazing FDUK it was. I promise I’m eventually going to stop with the terrible double entendre, but how often do you get this kind of opportunity? Just know that I will keep looking for places to slip it in as we go along (that one just […]

Today’s little piece of email sunshine comes to you from Wales. More specifically “The Queen’s Vaults,” a charming little pub on a charming little street in “The Diff” which is how we insiders refer to “Cardiff.” Now, before your mind fills with images of Hemingway balancing his last glass of scotch on the edge of […]

No, that’s not a secret message for you to decipher with your Super Secret Decoder Ring. Although it could be ‘cuz we are getting those, because I figure if we’re gonna have a super secret club house and a super secret weekly email, we should have our own Super Secret Decoder Ring. Who doesn’t want […]

Don’t ‘cha just love September? It’s filled to the brim with all my favorite holidays. National Pepperoni Pizza Day, National Beer Lovers Day, National Pot Pie Day, National Coffee Day (mmm coffee) and my most favorite of all National Make Your Bed Day. Now, I do not make my bed (ask Victoria), but I like […]

Our house in Los Angeles was built in 1926 on what was once the edge of an orange grove, where you had to take two trolley cars just to get close enough to where you could walk the rest of the way. Today it’s the best cut-through street to the airport, and everyone and I […]

Look, uh… I’ll just come right out and say it. I’m a little embarrassed. I know I should have asked before now, but you know, we’re hanging out, having a jolly old time, and I’m eating all your potato chips and what I hope was guacamole that I found in the fridge. And after a […]

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad you’re here at all. I’m not gonna get all mushy, and you can forget about the hugging, but it’s cool that you wanna strap in with us and take this crazy ride. But some things just aren’t for everybody. We stopped at a restaurant on our way back from […]

It’s Sunday evening, the sun is setting over a beautiful lake here in Quebec, Canada, and that first promise of cocktails is starting to dance in my head. Yep, it’s a little different than it was growing up. Growing up, Sunday night was always tomato soup and saltines covered with melted cheese (probably Velveeta). Hey, […]

Look. Most people think Flip Flops are called Flip Flops because of the sound they make when you walk.???? What a maroon. As usual, I’m going to give you the real, bar beat winning 411 AND help you save money! Flip Flops are called Flip Flops because they were invented by Flip & Flop Fuller, […]

Look. I didn’t say that (this time). Yes, I do have a mouth like a sailor. And yes, many sailors are a little embarrassed to hang with me. But… our Psychedelic Flip Flops and the 20% OFF we’re giving, does have everyone’s tongue wagging. Our AliƧin Psychedelic Flip Flops are flying off the shelves and… […]

Don’t be embarrassed. I saw you checking me out. Which is cool. Only you were checking out my feet. Which is weird, until I remembered I was wearing these. Our very super sexy and crazy trippy Psychedelic Flip-Flops. They are insanely cool and they’re about the only thing you can stand to wear on your […]
