In the process of remembering all the jobs I had over the years for one of them, I ended up moving "Adventures of a Pizza Driving Detective" to the shorts section, since it sort of reads like a short story.

Best simile ever! There's also some new stuff over on the dates page, and it looks like I'm JUST notable enough to be on Wikipedia now! Also, one of the best parts of my last two albums with the Revolving Door All-Stars has been the backup vocals (it certainly hasn't been MY vocals!). Vixy now has an album out with her duo, Vixy and Tony, and it's GREAT. In other Revolving Door All-Stars news, Jeff the Accordion/Guitar player (you can tell his guitar parts from mine because his are good) is now officially a lawyer! I'm totally gonna buy him a powdered wig. There's an alarming number of wig shops within walking distance of my apartment. 4 March 2008 Pirates of the Retail Wasteland is reviewed on bookslut today! 28 February 2008 Booklist has sent the first review of Pirates of the Retail Wasteland! 22 February 2008 The new Weird Chicago Blog is now up - check it out!
