    So Chloe, my niece, had her first Halloween of trick or treating and she wanted to be a purple people eater. I can’t get enough of this photo.

    Chloe!

    Here’s some pictures from my halloween costume today. I don’t know if you can give the Isrealites a hard time about going around a desert for 40 years but if I were going to - I’d say that there robes don’t have pockets to keep the map in but maybe that’s just me.

    Open Mic Night

    If you’re in the mood to see a guy possibly do something foolish then join me this Sunday Night at 6PM for the Timberlake Starbucks Open Mic Night. I’m told that I’ll be going on somewhere in the 7PM realm. So come get some coffee and watch me bomb. The Open Mic has been going for a month now and already there have been some stand outs so I thought I’d share them.

    I met Rory just a few weeks ago, I liked the recordings and then I saw him live. He’s really personable and humble, it’s a good combo. Check out “Run Down, Run Through” it’s going to be featured in an upcoming episode of The Great American Road Trip.

    Jay knocked my socks off two weeks ago. I’ve never seen Hip Hop at an open mic and it was nothing short of amazing. Check out his myspace and the track “All The Time”.

    Juice
    Juice strikes me as a renaissance man. Also a hip hop act, his lyrics of poetry inspire and educate. Listen to this recording of his material, Juice starts about 4 minutes in. He’s got an album coming out Black Friday (November 23rd) and it’ll be in FYE retailers.
