the Full House fan club

i guess this is a sign that i have been checking our website hits a little too often, but we need to know our audience right? well, here's a disturbing little fact: most of our blog hits recently have been links from image searches for 'uncle jesse'. what the hell? no, seriously, what the hell? anyway, i figured i might as well throw a wider net and post this picture:


i think this begs the question: who does image searches for 'uncle jesse' in their free time? well, that is, other than this guy. whose website, by the way, provided me with this ungodly weird image. what really spawned this whole idea of lists praising some older pop culture person that even at their prime people were a little tentative in deciding whether they were cool? you know, those goofy lists about uncle jesse or david hasselhoff or chuck norris that say things like "The chief export of Chuck Norris is Pain" or "When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris"? honestly, i think this phenomenon started this website that my buddy graeme showed me like 6 years ago that was based solely on the declaration of how sweet ninjas are. it's amazing how something like that can just take flight now that we have the internet. i feel like in maybe in 5 years we'll find a website like that about george clooney.

don't do a Yahoo search, for God's sake, just call 911

I'm learning a lot about websites, and through one of the hits we got on the site, I found out that the blog is the #2 result if you do a Yahoo search for "TUNGSTEN CARBIDE WEDDING BANDS FINGER INJURY". Actually, adding that line probably bumped us up to #1. Awesome. Maybe that'll make fans out of a lot of engaged, accident-prone people.

Secondly, we played at a show called Thrivefest. A little weird, and way different than we expected. We might be assuming too much to think that festivals would promote themselves. (Read: we didn't promote this show and 7 people watched us play on a huge stage). Oh well, we sounded really great (except for the occasional feedback) and we were able to set up and take down in a combined 13 minutes. Also, we sold 2 cds. We're on our way to quitting our day jobs.
