Tragedy Strikes San Diego Area Band


You guys! As you all know, Liz and I are hard at work on our amazing cover band called "Let's Make Out." However, tragedy struck this weekend when Liz learned there's already a band, in San Diego, called "Let's Make Out" and they're already playing gigs! Obviously, Liz and I have dibs on LMO (as we snatched it up as soon as Garney mentioned it when we were asking for name suggestions nearly a year ago) and these wannabes STOLE it from us! So now the question is, what do we do? I leave it to you, dear readers, to choose:

1. Keep the name, knowing full well we will be better and bigger than this so called "band" who actually play "in public" will ever hope to be?

OR

2. Change the name to one of the following:

  • "Mormon Chaos" (currently the title of out first record)?
  • "Winning America and Watching Lost"(an obviously hilarious inside joke)?
  • Something else someone suggests in the comments?
Well, what do you think. Please weigh in below. We need you now more than ever!!!

By the Numbers: Super NoLa


The NFL announced yesterday that New Orleans will get to host the 2013 Super Bowl, the city’s tenth. Here are some by-the-numbers predictions of what’s going down in the Big Easy that week:

7 The number of rehashed, un-insightful montages on how far the Lower Ninth Ward has/hasn’t come since Hurricane Katrina

2 The number of these montages that will be set to Sarah McLachlin’s “I will Remember You.”

14 The number of NFL players who will later be sited in Girls Gone Wild videos filmed that weekend

5 The number of New Orleans area strip club shootings that weekend. (Up from the normal weekend average of 4).

105 The number of brass jazz bands shown during broadcasts

53 The actual number of brass jazz bands that regularly reside in the New Orleans area

26 The number of times a white sports broadcaster awkwardly refers to the city as “Naw’leans,” or “The Big Easy.”

8 The number of times they’ll show Brad Pitt in the stands during the game

32 The number of children he and Angelina Jolie will have by then

14.50 The number of economic impact dollars from this event that will actually travel to places like the Lower Ninth Ward.
