Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!1111111

Just got tickets to see Julieta Venegas play the Fillmore. Sooooo excited to bond with my rock en espanol brethren.

I'm also seeing Kathy Griffin later in the month.

Oh to be young and have disposable income!

I worked on my first promo video here this week. I'd never had any experience with any production work, but I had fun editing the script and sitting in on the shoot. I also took some behind-the-scenes clips that I'm hoping to turn into something cool for GUBA's soon-to-be-launched blog. Here's a taste of the fun we had, though. Adriana, our director of PR, is in the chair. I'm the "crazy for GUBA - blaaah" voice. And Thomas, the super nice and patient director, is the voice desperately trying to rein us in.

Jesus!

Jesus!

There is a lot of silly putty at the office. There also is a copy of the East Bay Express, which features Jesus on this week's cover. INSPIRATION!

People in the office were SHOCKED when I said I hadn't seen this, so I'm passing it on. It really is quite funny, especially the killing British children bit. Stupid British children.

Another reason to love the new office:

During this morning's BART ride my eye was itchy and my nose become super congested. Allergies? Beginnings of a cold? Doesn't matter. Upon entering the office I walked straight to the kitchen, opened the first aid cabinet and found both allergy pills and Airborne. DON'T MESS WITH ME, SNIFFLE MONSTER.

OK, my mini-obsession with the former "Voice of an Angel," Charlotte Church, continues. Here are two other examples of her duets with hot pop/rock acts. I LOVE both of these songs (especially the first one) yet had never heard of them or the bands before. And I have to say, the addition of Char doesn't hurt the songs at all. Remarkable, that.



And this one also is a good example of the tone of her chat show overall (well, from what I've seen).

I dig Nelly Furtado's cover of Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy," which made the rounds a few months back. So I was psyched to find a TV performance, but it's a duet. With Charlotte Church!? Who, apparently, is now 20 and a bad-ass with a husky (!!!) chest voice, a foul mouth and her own variety show in the U.K. That, my friends, is crazy.
