First few lines of an email from someone at work:

Get out your juggling balls, dredge up your old poems, bring a book by a
favorite author, find that hula hoop or practice your headstands-
it's time for

"Word of Mouth"

WTF? Which one of you told her about my juggling balls?!? I'm very sensitive about my condition, you know.

I got muffins in the mail today! Did yoooooou get muffins in the mail today? Yeah, I thought not! Thanks, Ree!

Whoo hoo! Jeff, his son, and I are going to see Jim Bouton give a talk and sign books in a couple of weeks. This guy wrote Ball Four, one of my favorite books ever. I always say that it's a non-fiction Catch-22. A lot of you might look at it and think, eh, it's a baseball book. And I was a sucker for baseball books growing up, but this is on a whole nother level. (That one's for you, saintclaire.) This book even added indispensable words to my vocabulary: "shitfuck," "sidle," and "fuckshit." Good stuff. I'm going to have to read it again before I go. I've read it probably 6-8 times at least, but it's been a while. Ack, I don't know if I have a copy. My books are still spread across three states. Damn that.

At first I typed "vocabluraly" above. You have no idea how much that scares me. No idea.

FUTILITY FEST: An Exercise in futility
at NYABINGHI IN YOUNGSTOWN, OH
Friday, Oct. 10 - Sunday, Oct. 12: Columbus Day Weekend
Three Days, 29 Bands

Youngstown, OH -- Nyabinghi announced their first attempt at Futility
Fest. The festival lasts three days over Columbus Day Weekend, from
Friday October 10th through Sunday, October 12th. Nyabinghi is
located in Youngstown, OH at 1229 Salt Springs Road, approximately one
hour outside of Cleveland and an hour from Pittsburgh, PA.

Futility Fest came to being from a realization that most festivals around
the country attempt to cater to a specific genre, and have very little
musical range. Futility Fest is an attempt to break those boundaries.
Understanding that there’s a great quantity of quality bands that don’t
get the attention they deserve, this festival is an opportunity for these
acts to get their music out to a wide range of fans.

The festival will feature performances by 29 bands, including headliners
like Oxbow, Helios Creed, Skeleton Key, Stinking Lizaveta and many more.
The event is an indoor festival, though the parking lots yield
plenty of interacting between bands and fans throughout the three days.
In addition to band performances, several booths will feature related
merchandise and food for sale.

The venue is located approximately one hour outside of Cleveland and is an
hour away from Pittsburgh, PA. It can easily be accessed from the I-80
interstate. See the website for specific directions or contact
the Nyabinghi at info@futilityfest.com for routing and directions.

For press information, please contact Greg Barratt at greg@nyabinghi.com
Tickets are available for sale in advance online at www.ticketfusion.com

I miss Vlad. It's been five years now with no calls, no emails, no bouquets of flowers, nothing. If he thinks I'm just going to sit here pining away for him, well he's just . . . well, he's right. But I'm not happy about it.

DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN

I'm finally, at long last, emailing this guy about drawing a portrait of me (or Eddie Sanchez) getting Stevie Nicks in the dog. And his stupid email address won't work. Arrrrrrrgggggggggggggh.

WHERE OH WHERE IS MY LITTLE WYLD PHIL?

Shit. I gotta figure out how to find this guy. In the meantime, you can read the email I TRIED to send him. And if you missed the background, check here, here, here, and here.

Hey dude! Johanna from www.johannas-art.com referred me to your Stevie artwork site.

Listen, I'm totally diggin' on your adults-only Stevie artwork, man. That shit ROCKS!!! I really dig the one where she's straddling the sandwich!!! It's like, you've got her ass and the sandwich with a side of fries right there--like what else could a man possibly need, ese?!? That is AWESOME.

So listen, I'm wondering what it would take for you to draw a custom picture of me getting Stevie in the dog? I'm thinking I could just send you a picture of my face and you could work it in. The thing is that I don't have a lot of cash. I'm an artist too--I play guitar in a Blue Oyster Cult cover band called Purposeful Grimace. But I could probably scrape up some dough for this, because I just can't get the idea out of my mind. And you're just the guy to do it--your stuff is tight.

So let me know what you think, mang! Quote me a price, shoot me some info, tell me what's up!

thanks a lot,
Eddie Sanchez
