My tweets of the last week:
- Worked up a sweat learning new 70s & 80s covers for our monster 3hr acoustic set @ All Fired Up pottery studio for 2nd Saturday Collingswood #
- Look! I posted to my blog: Crushing On: WordPress Editorial Calendar plugin http://bit.ly/pRsqQx #
- Love how @ericsmithrocks emailed me about our photoshoot to ask if I was getting “dolled up,” to which I replied, “no…except, well, yeah.” #
- Good morning! What’s the best thing this week holds in store for you? #
- For me this week is a whirlwind of rock: photo shoot tonight, Rad Bromance show Tues, rehearsal Weds/Thurs, playing in Collingswood on Sat. #
- @amanda_nan Good lord, 87 boxes? That might be more boxes than WE had, and we were ENTRENCHED in that old house. in reply to amanda_nan #
- @melissa_shae I love Maine! It makes me want to be quaint, buy touristy t-shirts, and sketch lighthouses in a little book. in reply to melissa_shae #
- @amanda_nan Before I got to the line break I was thinking, “17lbs of liquor is really not all that much.” in reply to amanda_nan #
- @amanda_nan Well, you’ve seen our liquor shelf pre-@arcati81’s wedding cleaning it out. That was a lot of liquor to pack :) in reply to amanda_nan #
- A special #MusicMonday sneak peek at one of my fav Arcati Crisis songs newly dressed w/bass & three-part harmony! http://t.co/WchO5Gc #
- Look! I posted to my blog: #MusicMonday “The Fight” – Sia http://bit.ly/p4AnWS #
- @brimil That log flume photo is a classic :) Any interest in joining me & bro for Rad Bromance tomorrow night at WCL? in reply to brimil #
- @brimil Only the world’s premiere all-male Lady Gaga rock cover band. I hear rapturous things about them; converted bro to be a Gaga fan. in reply to brimil #
- @HennArtOnline @heathermeeker @melrosematt Only one of the best songs OF ALL TIME :) in reply to HennArtOnline #
- Guys, if you want to start some fun conversation, stand at the mirror in your office men’s room touching up your makeup for a few minutes. #
- (Duh, it’s for my photoshoot. Can’t look like a proper rock star with bags under eyes and a giant mosquito bite on my neck!) #
- @heathermeeker @maryannewendt @HennArtOnline @melrosematt Had to specifically add Out of Touch to the H&O rotation due to coworker lobby :) in reply to heathermeeker #
- Tucked into @tmoms for our @jumpphilly shoot -a rare bar where I always feel instantly comfortable. Wish there were more chances to play it! #
- @Not_Pele @amanda_nan …and that I was trying hard to get the cute one’s # for you? ;) in reply to Not_Pele #
- Every time I see @ericsmithrocks my 1st reaction is, “Omg, when was the last time I wrote a chapter in my book?!” Can’t wait for @nanowrimo. #
- @JoPincushion Please be aware that is my favorite move of all time. in reply to JoPincushion #
- Messed up: Stranger read my review of an indie LP & emailed to ask me upload it for them! Maybe it if was OOP, but steal from an indie band? #
- Not that I haven’t begged an LP copy from a friend, but asking a random reviewer to give you the LP? Do we expect everything to be free now? #
- Related: Several kids approached me on the El platform, asked what magazine I was reading, & then took it OUT OF MY HANDS. What is going on? #
- Granted, they were twiggy kids I could have probably thrown off of the platform, but I looked like my typical cross-legged effeminate self. #
- I’m starting to think that all concept of value, both in currency and morals, is seeping out of the world. #
- @toofeets I had a fight or flight moment but I decided to just keep talking to them about the mag and they eventually laughed & gave it back in reply to toofeets #
- @platypusjones I get that people expect a lot of music to be free, but to say “I listened to some songs & liked it, can you send it to me”?? in reply to platypusjones #
- @parkview I desperately wanted to be an adult. I didn’t even want to laugh on a bus! Guess it requires the promise of anything in adulthood. in reply to parkview #
- @picture_philly Even more ridiculous, that I didn’t immediately respond with “WHAT THE EFF,” but that’s the tenor of Philly at the moment. in reply to picture_philly #
- @brimil @toofeets Happy I’ve got my license now so I don’t have to be so reliant on nighttime SEPTA – especially w/guitar. in reply to brimil #
- @Tmoms Always a pleasure :) in reply to Tmoms #
- @marykateruf Are you insinuating I could not have knocked them out with a move from Lito’s cardio box? in reply to marykateruf #
- @marykateruf The elbow shuffles are deadly. They have momentum on their side. There is similar Zumba move that is more of a karate chop. in reply to marykateruf #
- Look! I posted to my blog: X-Men Collected Editions Review, July 2011 http://bit.ly/qDVM74 #
- Good morning! Focusing on the personal and the positive today, what’s something you LOVE about yourself? #
- @Not_Pele Uh, yeah, that’s not actually due to be out until later this morning. Sometimes I forget WP works on military time. in reply to Not_Pele #
- @Not_Pele 13:15, not 1:15. in reply to Not_Pele #
- I don’t think of using a photo of a nuclear family as the more inclusive option. Use one parent; let the reader imagine a narrative. Agree? #
- @ChatterBlast If I have any say in creative I try to tell the brand’s story, err on leaving the visual narrative to the mind of the consumer in reply to ChatterBlast #
- Peeked at my 1yr and 5yr goals from 2006…and I’ve totally nailed them both. Nice to know I’m on a path even when it seems like I’m wandering #
- Look! I posted to my blog: Better (excerpt) – Arcati Crisis, Live @ Rehearsal http://bit.ly/pMzReo #
- @ChatterBlast Probably true! It looks like I may have the chance to produce a comic in the next year – one of the things on my “Dream List” in reply to ChatterBlast #
- I decided it’s time to start putting my depthless X-Men obsession to use by starting a column on new X-graphic novels: http://bit.ly/qDVM74 #
- @CoverPuppy Being funny is a great thing to be ;) When I grew up I always wanted to be a stand-up comedian, but I’m not good at being funny in reply to CoverPuppy #
- @torrez Oh dear. in reply to torrez #
- @jennlyn81 As a comm person you get that :) in reply to jennlyn81 #
- @jennlyn81 Yes, and VISIT YOU to go out. in reply to jennlyn81 #
- Spending the night as 20yr old: hit gym w/interns, now @ Rad Bromance w/bro & college friends. Does this mean I must drink low shelf vodka? #
- @anniemal My proudest Philly sports moment was championship parade watching from the @ibx caf as he shook his big green butt on the lead car in reply to anniemal #
- @dls337 Could we possibly get two of those a week? Also: cucumber sorbetto. Amazing. in reply to dls337 #
- @brimil Dude. Rad Bromance. Good enough to warrant a road trip before you leave. For real. #
- Pluses of going out w/half-a-dozen 20-yr-olds: They appreciate you picking up the tab, even tho it’s less than you would drop on happy hour. #
- Minuses? Telling concert stories from before they were in Pre-K. #
- @brimil saw Madonna before they were BORN. in reply to brimil #
- @dls337 Capogiro Gelato has it; if you keep an eye on the daily flavors on their web page it eventually shows up. in reply to dls337 #
- Great post from @ericsmithrocks re: pitching bloggers, echoing a conversation we had @ our @jumpphilly shoot on Monday http://bit.ly/pyugGJ #
- @CoverPuppy Manage typically un-funny communications, blog in an occasionally amusing way, & front a definitely smirk-inducing rock band :) in reply to CoverPuppy #
- @gloriabell Oh, two is plenty – I like a background thing to keep me focused on the primary, like music while working, or TV while blogging. in reply to gloriabell #
- @hollyjophoto May I use your photo of the lead singer of Rad Bromance in a blog post about them, with caption credit & link back to you? #
- @hollyjophoto Alternately, do you have a (C) watermark version of that photo? I see it online a lot, you should get credit as the source! #
- Look! I posted to my blog: Crushing On: Rad Bromance http://bit.ly/nF8CXo #
- @hollyjophoto I’ll go and add it right now; it’s the link I just tweeted. in reply to hollyjophoto #
- @hollyjophoto I inserted it into the post with a credit to you in caption & hovertag, plus the photo is linked (& pulled from) Flickr. in reply to hollyjophoto #
- @hollyjophoto I thought maybe you’d have a watermark version for website use. Thanks for letting me use it! Best shot of them I’ve found. in reply to hollyjophoto #
- Look! I posted to my blog: Making Music Work: Write It Down, Pt. 1 http://bit.ly/qTAIcu #
- @hollyjophoto Thanks! If you were closer I’d pitch you on shooting my band :) If you ever want some acoustic harmony we’ll come to you. in reply to hollyjophoto #
- @ChatterBlast In the VERY early stages of planning a comic strip from/starring our band. I’ll likely script, but maybe also digitally ink. in reply to ChatterBlast #
- New single from 1 of my fav Philly singers (& since a collaborator) @SierraHurtt: http://bit.ly/qPHl8T – Biding time to do our Bjork collab! #
- @raschatz Definitely experiencing a total freakout in the past five minutes. in reply to raschatz #
- @popdust In disbelief you landed a phoner with Gaga herself (but not really, because you are my fav pop commentary website). #
- My blogging voice really loosens up when I’m in HOUR SIX of writing. Either that or I’m hallucinating this laptop entirely. #
- Good morning! I have a practical question today: what’s the 1st thing you eat /drink when you feel ever-so-slightly under the weather? #
- @adeceve Me too! I feel like if I can fill my entire stomach with OJ no possible malingering bug can possibly survive the onslaught. in reply to adeceve #
- Wish I could just live there RT @tinangelphl Our upcoming gigs: Dwight & Nicole, Mieka Pauley, Bevin Caulfield, & more! http://t.co/tjKZXu5 #
- @brainpicker LOVE! Someone sent me similar cards with evocative names printed on each one, like “Lime, Flame, Tangerine.” Hanging at my desk in reply to brainpicker #
- @ChatterBlast Strip at first, collecting it into a book/zine eventually. Of course, I want to do a comic of my entire @nanowrimo novel :) in reply to ChatterBlast #
- @JustInTheSouth Good morning, Justin! What’s in store for you today? in reply to JustInTheSouth #
- @dawnbricker I’m a major marriage equality supporter, but I really think that’s…tacky? I don’t know. I guess it helps the cause, in the end. in reply to dawnbricker #
- @JustInTheSouth I should read that. too! Pulled a full night of blogging after a full day at work. Feel like I’ve been typing for eternity. in reply to JustInTheSouth #
- @cspenn I’m a fan of both of those new features! Both are things I feel like I spend too much time figuring out presently. in reply to cspenn #
- @dorkabella I’m sorry – you’re saving for an ELEVATOR? in reply to dorkabella #
- @tangofoxtrot Agreed! 1st question I ask myself is: are you sick or are you very dehydrated? They’re similar, and one leads to the other. in reply to tangofoxtrot #
- @brimil Are Zincs something I can just get in a bottle at CVS? I’ve never taken it on its own outside of a multi-vit. in reply to brimil #
- @Mr_Anthropist Coffee & TylenolPM? Sounds more like a recipe for becoming a member of the walking dead! Also: the GC must pair w/tomato soup in reply to Mr_Anthropist #
- @bigredtim I’m having the opposite problem-keep getting changed to go out after work, and now I have a file-drawer fill of dress pants here! in reply to bigredtim #
- Look! I posted to my blog: Things To Do In Philly, 8/11 Edition http://bit.ly/nnlgSc #
- There are at least four AMAZING local shows I want to attend in the next two nights, both of which are supposedly earmarked for rehearsal :( #
- Look! I posted to my blog: Gina’s Bachelorette Adventure, Pt. 2 http://bit.ly/oDgHq1 #
- @Cecilyk Well, it’s nice to know that it’s not just me ;) in reply to Cecilyk #
- There could be much worse weather to be stranded on a SEPTA bench in for over a half hour. In fact, I don’t know that it could be any better #
- Look! I posted to my blog: #FollowFriday @SarahCooley http://bit.ly/ncDsTn #
- @amanda_nan I had to buy a new HD :) in reply to amanda_nan #
- @JoPincushion I’m scarred for life just from reading that. in reply to JoPincushion #
- @AllThingsGwen I sometimes get in trouble for publicly repeating those sorts of things @not_pele says at home. Since I’m, you know, white. in reply to AllThingsGwen #
- @amanda_nan I can’t possibly drive down there in time to see it with you tonight ;) in reply to amanda_nan #
- @christopherwink Definitely the way to go, gets as cheap as $50, pick an off-hour to fly so you don’t have to wait in a long security line in reply to christopherwink #
- @amanda_nan What’s the commute time? Eight hours? in reply to amanda_nan #
- Had a wicked awesome dream that might make an incredible @NaNoWriMo project – learned my lesson from last time and writing it down. #
- Nothing makes me feel better about obsessively over-preparing and stressing for a show than playing a really fantastic show :) #
- @amanda_nan Dude. Weezer, Perfect Situation? Genius. I feel like it’s maybe a retread of one of the songs they didn’t use for Green Album? in reply to amanda_nan #
- Sad news for historic #Musikfest RT @Musicfest Still on today but Volksplatz & Handwerkplatz closed b/c of the flooding http://t.co/5XnsNJ9 #
