Colette x Gap Pop-Up Store
Monday, October 6th, 2008
The Colette x Gap Pop-Up Store is ending its month long run on NY’s 5th avenue.

Friday Afternoon Fun On A Monday: Sarah Palin Beauty Pageant Talent Competition, The Flute Solo!
Monday, October 6th, 2008We were really, really bad this week. Not only did we miss the rockin Pissed Jeans / Children Show at Glasslands for totally bogus reasons, but we left you without FUN! On a Friday no less! In penitence for this most hideous of interweb crimes, and in preparation for the upcoming Jewish holiday of atonement we present you with the following.
Go on, we’ll wait.
Tell us your entire universe isn’t rocked to the core of its foundation by the flute stylings of the vice presidential candidate of the Republican party. Bless her heart, there’s always that Jethro Tull reunion to look forward to. [Ed - Did Jethro Tull ever really leave the building? No they didn't.]

Friday Afternoon Fun: Take On Me, Stockbauer!
Friday, September 26th, 2008So, our loyal Admiral Stockbauer flaked at the last minute and the show at The Bell House was left without an MC. Fortunately consummate showman Gibby Haynes stepped up to the plate and introduced the Back CC’s. Thus we must call out our dear old pal, proprietor of the Long Branch Saloon and Scoot Inn in sunny Austin, TX and his Merry Band of Lawyers™.
Take us on, Stockbauer. Take us on.
