Maybe you're kidding, but we'd run any and all of those in a heartbeat.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I kinda acting as my sister's boyfriend's band's agent up here in Dallas. I know a guy who books bands at a cool place up here called The Doublewide that I think would be good for them to play. They're really good, so I don't want to just say "Hey, book my sister's boyfriend's band" so what kind of stuff should I give the guy at the Doublewide to get him to book them?

A CD and press kit?

CD I can do- press kit with what, a press release and pictures? (I've seen them for movies, but not bands).

Heh. The Charlton Heston one is something I promised to do for Scram a long time back. The others are just pop riffing - I'm not sure if they'd bear that kind of scrutiny. Well, Antonioni's sink in reputation is definitely worth a discussion, even if I wouldn't want to write it.
But thanks for the invitation - I'll think of something juicy. I read most of the current issue and it kicks righteous ass.

No problemo. If you know the booking guy, it might be worth handing him the stuff in person. Then follow up a couple of weeks later (or ask him when you should follow up).

Jon, you should TiVo the special episode of Fairly Odd Parents (on Nickelodeon) titled "Channel Chasers" - there's a beautiful Hannukah takeoff on A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Hec! I was roaming through the local B&N (aaaah, airconditioning!) earlier tonight, and your Bubblegum book was on the shelf as a Staff Pick!

Right on! Must be the same store that Ple mentioned (and wondered if it would give her a chance to talk to the cute music guy at the store). As my book has pretty much left the shelves in San Francisco, I have to say Seattle is winning me over.
