Re: Obama, Cantor spar over Occupy Wall St. - Oct. 7, 2011

And you are one of the 99%. It's not a blame game that makes things change. You show your ignorance by blaming one person. It is more complex than that and there is enough blame on each side. The problem is sides. I AM THE 99% That is the side I'm on. Government alone cannot solve the problem. The greedy need to check themselves in the mirror as well.

Being one of the 99%, I take offense to OWS being called a mob. Republicans are the mobsters and I am joining the fight. We're mad as hell and not going to take it anymore! It is class warfare. Not black vs white vs brown like they always wanted us to believe to keep us down. It is the few rich versus everybody else. We can change this. Who is with me? See you in New York!

We would not have heard of Johnny Cupcakes were it not for your Friends link. When visiting Boston this summer we stopped by his store and purchased some items. Very cool... If we ever get to the Midwest, you just may find us in the establishments listed on your links...

Re: My thoughts on Conan

Gabe,

Thanks. Yesterday my daughter came home from an acting class in which she felt she bombed doing her monologue. Wiping away her tears, I tried to explain to her that you can't always hit a homerun. I showed her your performance on Conan. We have seen you perform live and your are quite engaging, crowd pleasing, and oh yeah, the music is terrific. But we can't always be perfect. The perfection has to be in the willingness to do what we feel passionate about. Perfect passion. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It will help remind the kids (and the parents too) the fear of failure is a wasted emotion.

Thanks for the music and never being ashamed. See you on twitter...

Don't get lost in the money or fame. Teach your son how everyone has something to offer. If he finds himself standing on a pedestal for any reason, it is important for him to reach down and pull others up. Not just people who are similar, but others who might just be curious of his specific pedestal but did not have the connections or means to get there.

When he is school age, you might dare to get Bronx some less fortunate playmates. He'll learn to respect all you have garnered for him and he'll learn even those without could be a good friend. But keep the cameras away...

Or with the cameras pointed you could start promoting AmeriCorps (Obama would appreciate that) and take him along for the ride while showing your fanbase it's benefits!

glad to hear you are doing radio shows as I couldn't really grasp the concept of such small shows at HT other than a contractual agreement for the sale of shirts and CDs. a marketing strategy of interest might be playing large schools (as an assembly on the arts), sell merch and cds, and possibly generate new fans at that captive audience. out of curiosity, i called the HT in DE and they informed me the 200 wristbands are sold out! great! way too much coffee today...

Re: Hello, my name is... acoustic tour

iceempress — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 11:13:21 -0000

Was considering going to DE an hour or so away. Saw the requirements. Buy shirt or CD to get a wristband for signing, first 30 get to see the show. You need to go to hot topic a week in advance to do so. Two trips? Not sure...there may be a carload of people disappointed.

What about Northstar Bar in Philadelphia on 1/17 matinee? All Ages Show. Great Venue. I saw FOB there in November. All the Jersey girls (and boys) are close enough to get there. I would like to hear something from Remember Maine. It's fun to hear how your voice has evolved over the years. Or why not sing one of your favorite songs? Something that shows your range? Plus The Fever...

2008 – Guilty Pleasures

1. Attending concerts and sharing the music with my daughter

TAI – Warped Tour, Electric Factory-Philly & Roseland Theatre-NYC (with
We the Kings and Hey Monday) & MTV New Years Eve (with All Time
Low)

FOB – Northstar Bar-Philly and Nokia Theatre-NYC (Patrick’s voice gets better and better)

John Mayer – Camden and PNC Arts Center

2. Canvassing for Obama’s eventual election providing hope for our free-falling country.

3. The Internet’s power enabling people to connect regardless of the typical bullshit.

4. Blogs. The ones I write and the ones I read especially those by William Beckett, Pete Wentz and Nicolas Scimeca.

5. Pete Wentz who is able to stand on the very edge about to fall into oblivion but just spits into the wind and takes his genius to the next venture pulling others with him. I want to work for him.

+ Always grateful to the CD I found in the dental book that rekindled my love of music, the internet and comedy…& the hott guy I live with…
