I was going to write a really short post. It was going to say simply “Gabe says that you can’t wear a concert shirt to a show where that same band is playing. Discuss.” But things are never that simple. First of all, I called Gabe at work to ask him if I could tell [...]
Day 5: Something I Hope to Do in My Life
October 25, 2010
Oh day 5, I like you. Something I hope to do in my life? That is not a scary writing prompt, and thank you for that. This will be a happy post as my goal is attainable. Maybe not easily attainable as I have to actually leave the country to do it. I assume it [...]

On Top of the World (for about five seconds)
June 23, 2010
The Goon Squad and I were totally rocking out on the way home from Tae Kwon Do. I still had a couple of my 80s hair metal CDs in the car from when Laurie and I went to the M3 concert on Saturday and the kids and I were listening to some Guns N’ Roses. [...]
If You Want Free Bon Jovi Tickets Raise Your Hands
June 22, 2010
Psst. We’re giving away three pairs of Bon Jovi tickets on MamaPop. Plus I posted a picture of Jon Bon Jovi practically naked over there, so what are you waiting for? I totally used to have this exact poster on my wall. Alas, I’ve said too much. Go win tickets. * * * * * [...]

R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio 1942 – 2010
May 16, 2010
Ronnie James Dio lost his battle with cancer this morning. I first heard when Laurie sent me a text message. We were just talking about him yesterday when we had to explain “the goat” to my mom after Claudia kept doing this in pictures. That sucks. He was a legend. My thoughts are with his [...]
A Riddle for Which I Have No Answer
April 14, 2010
What is funnier than a young, tough looking man wearing big jeans and a hip hop t-shirt in a quiet library blasting his iPod so loudly that you can hear Phil Collins begging you to take a look at him now? I can’t think of anything either.
Support The Arts
March 17, 2010
I don’t do a lot of fund raising on Sarah and the Goon Squad but this is something that I believe in. Choralis is a first rate community based choir in the Washington D.C Area. Besides being kind enough to let me in, they also provide scholarships to 12 students each year. Gretchen Kuhrmann is [...]
