In January, my friend Evan Valentine sent out a timely tweet which inspired me to rewatch these videos that some friends and I produced for Hexagon 2009 in DC. They are the funniest thing that Hexagon ever did. Here they are, in their glory, on the 10th anniversary of their creation. God bless you, Skip Maraney. … Continue reading
On the way back from Nashville on Sunday, Shane Rhyne, Tamara Rhyne, and I decided unilaterally that we needed to listen to, and spiritedly sing along with, Def Leppard’s 1983 smash hit “Rock of Ages.” We also bounced around a Spotify playlist (ugh) to their 1992 hits “Stand Up (Kick Love into Motion)” and “Have … Continue reading
Well, that was fun on Monday, me getting deposed from Friendlytown and then Table Mayor telling the FT City Council what-for. If you’re just a casual fan or someone who doesn’t know me, I don’t expect that first sentence to make any sense, it’s fine. What was also an insane amount of fun was doing … Continue reading

Naomi Karavani, Noah Crowley, Bridget Geiran, and Christian Escoto will be rounding out the lineup, and Kevin Tit will also be releasing his new album that night!! Maybe we’ll … Continue reading
I gave a much shorter, infinitely less coherent version of this spiel as a toast at Shoney’s on December 17th, mostly out of respect for my fellow Mayors and Citizens. Also, I was in sugar shock from the high-fructose buffet. If you’re reading this, you probably know a good deal about me. You’ve probably known … Continue reading
Yeahhhh, buddy so exciting to be back in NYC after all these years. Three, to be exact. That’s an eternity when you grew up going into the city several times a year, gawking at the tall buildings and learning how much more important everyone else’s time was than yours. Also, I don’t have an antique … Continue reading
Trenton, New Jersey! All I know about you is that you have a pretty nifty war memorial building, some famous pizza place that grandfathered itself out of having bathrooms, and you stole the Red Sox’ AA franchise from New Britain when I was a kid. Do you know what it was like for us to … Continue reading
