    What Watch Would A Watchmen Watch If A Watchmens' Watch Wouldn't Work?

    The Jason Mraz concert @ NIU was surprisingly short, but very fun - & it was great to get a chance to reconnect with B-Lo.

    The real surprise was the opening act called Vedera. They were AWESOME & I can't recommend them enough. They're based out of Kansas City so I'm wondering if Pete and rest of the K.C. crew has ever heard of them before. You can find them on MySpace and on iTunes.


    Religulous is out on DVD. Buy/Rent it. Watch it. Discuss.

    We finished principal photography on The Adventures of Brad & Chet, our follow-up pilot to Reality Check, last weekend & now it's off to editing. It was great to be a part of the filming this time and getting to meet and hang out the cast. We're hoping to duplicate and exceed the success from last year as promoting and traveling cross-country with the pilot was a blast.

    Now, I tried to steer clear of the Watchmen craze, but also admit that the graphic novel has been sitting unread on my bookshelf for about 4 years. One of those things I always was going to get to, but never did. So I pulled it down, dusted it off, and proceeded to read it cover-to-cover a day or so ago & now I get what all the hub-bub is about. It's an amazing read and really was one of the forefront "anti-hero" comics. It presents super-heros with human flaws and I couldn't put it down.

    Who watches the Watchmen? Well, I can tell you it will be myself and millions mor
    e when it drops this Friday (midnight showing on Thursday, if you're a hardcore fan).

    Knight rides again

    Whole. Lee. Crap.

    Through some friends of mine, I was able to get comped tickets to see The Dark Knight at our local IMAX Theatre.

    Granted, I already own it on Blu-ray, it was like a whole different experience and I can't recommend seeing it in this format enough. Almost vertigo inducing at times, the performances seem even more intense and I was actually more impressed with it than I was on previous viewings.

    Just stop reading & go see it.

    You're welcome.


    Going to see Jason Mraz (for the 6th time) in concert next week at Northern Illinois University, and also got tickets to see Dave Matthews Band (for the 35th time) in Nashville, TN, with Mraz opening for them. Woot!

    Now get off my lawn, you crazy kids.

    The real MVP wasn't on NBC

    Sorry, Santonio Holmes.

    You all may have won the Super Bowl, but the action was equally exciting over at Puppy Bowl V on Animal Planet, where Madeline the beagle whooped up on everyone with 3 touchdowns ON ONE PLAY finishing with 4 on the day. You had, what, 1 touchdown on Sunday there, Santonio?

    It's clear who the real winner was on Sunday.
    Better luck next time, Holmes.

    P.S. - I can't believe FU, Penguin hasn't had a field day with the Puppy Bowl's yet...
