to one time that I ate a sausage po’boy off the top of a bodega trash can before a gig at the Hi-Ho Lounge in New Orleans. July 13, 2014. Don’t let anyone tell you that DIY touring isn’t sheer goddamn glamour. I miss it and don’t. Anyway, not that anybody has any reason to … Continue reading

Altercation Comedy Festival (Austin) Photo-Roll
I’m swamped this week, and I still haven’t had a chance to post anything about how great the Altercation Comedy Festival was. It was awesome. I loved pretty much everybody I met.

I don’t have enough time for a teary recap, but we’re currently gathering photographic and videographic evidence of the shows. Here are a handful of pictures I snapped … Continue reading
Why I call May 4th “International Jawbreaker Day” instead of “Star Wars Day” and you should too (but whatever, don’t let me tell you how to live your life; keep doing what you do)

Some of my critics may call … Continue reading

Photo I Actually Kinda Like: September 28, 2015
Here’s a cool grainy, happenstance photo that Shane Rhyne snapped of me, in full pop-punk cosplay, doing the 5-minute warning before the Altercation Punk Comedy Tour show at the Pilot Light as JT Habersaat lurks in the background before I thought to close that door. Continue reading
