mad things

This week’s Threesome is dedicated to Dawn Summers. I bet you didn’t know it was her birthday, did you? Who am I fooling? The entire world knows it is her birthday. Even the Empire State Building is lit up white/white for her birthday – get it, vanilla, vanilla? I bet you were thinking racist thoughts instead.

Enjoy this threesome of birthday songs. And Ms. Summers, I insist that you listen to each one.

The first birthday song to get you started is from Röyskopp.

The second birthday song is from The Birthday Party. I know that Dawn is a Nick Cave fan so she should enjoy this one. ; )

The third birthday song is from Altered Images. Whenever I think of birthday songs, this one always pops into my head, even before The Beatles and Sugarcubes.

I considered using The Smith’s Unhappy Birthday but Dawn would really think that I hate her if I had included it in the threesome.

- and if you live in the Washington DC area, be sure to pick up some yummy cupcakes from Hello Cupcake and more importantly, if you are a nice person, send some to Brooklyn!

This week’s threesome is from The Clash. As our Independence Day nears I thought I’d do a threesome of politically-tinged songs. Enjoy!

And if you are in NYC and looking for something to do this holiday weekend, check out the nycgo.com site.

It’s that time of the year again – time to hit the beach, enjoy some films, and hang out with a great bunch of folks. I had a blast last year and this year looks to be the same. So come on down to LBI and join us for some fun.

Once again OrangeYouGlad did the poster, website and program guide for the festival.

Check out some of the films you can see this weekend.

Don’t forget to play the Mookie tonight. Unfortunately I won’t be home so I’ll miss out on the fun. Hopefully I’ll be back in time to catch the final table action.

For full details on the tourneys and prizes you can win in the BBT5, visit the Poker from the Rail site.

See you at the tables!

I missed out on the first BBT5 Sunday invitational but Al and Full Tilt Poker have graciously added me to list for the remaining five tournaments – thanks Al! I’m hoping to at a minimum, win some cash so I can keep playing in the Poker from the Rail tourney on Monday and the Mookie on Wednesday.

For full details on the tourney and prizes (how does over $50,000 in cash and WSOP seats courtesy of Full Tilt sound?), visit the Poker from the Rail site.

See you at the tables!

My friend Al and Full Tilt Poker are once again offering some great prizes (how does over $50,000 in cash and WSOP seats courtesy of Full Tilt sound?) for the poker blogging community.

See you at the tables!

My friend LJ’s spectacular artwork is in another gallery and the opening is this Thursday.

The gallery opening is also part of Dumbo’s 1st Thursday so you can visit a bunch of other galleries that evening. Should be a fun evening of art.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a happy holiday!

Check out the trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland:

The little snippet of the Red Queen and the Mad Hatter reminded me of Queenie and Black Adder (or maybe it was a bit more Lord Melchett).

I still haven’t made it to Tim Burton’s MoMA exhibit – but will do so during the holiday when our studio is closed.

One week later the pumpkins are starting to show decay.
