Lots of weird cell phone toys, too. I don't think any are actual vintage phones. But perhaps I give too much away...
There is also Pet Blessings and Emilor Jayne news! Pet Blessings, who I have long wanted to revisit since getting enthusiastic about Night Court, also have a gig coming up, and a mini-tour. The first show is on March 21st, at Green Auto, just three days before the Selina Martin/ Tony Bardach/ Minimalist Jug Band gig I am helping with (some backstory on that here; more to come). Emilor is even more dynamic as a frontperson and lead vocalist than she is as a drummer; I enjoy her drumming, but you get to see the full force of her personality when she's singing. I am very much looking forward to this get (next Thursday at Green Auto, with Stories End and Spectra opening, neither of whom I know). Then they go east!
There will also be a garage sale, as Emilor and (if I've got this right) her partner (am I allowed to say who? I din't check but watch this vid that I shot last weekend for a clue; Emilor pops up!) are being forced to downsize and are going to have a ton of stuff for sale! The Facebook Marketplace listing describes a "huge moving sale of multiple families! Clothes, Book, Furniture, Records, Kids Stuff, LEGO, Art, So much stuff!!!" -- Emilor describes it as a "collection overflow." This is going to be cooler than your average garage sale, folks.
A final note: Night Court are, I think, going to heed my request to play "What's is it Like to be a Bat, Man?" at that Dumpies split release, which I have never heard them do live, which should be quite piquant with a band called Math Bat on the bill. But I must tag on some bat news of my own: NO FUN and their label Atomic Werewolf will be dropping a new single on March 18th of a song I wrote the lyrics for, "If I was a Bat." David M. first performed this song on March 18th, seven years ago, AT MY WEDDING to Erika Lax, where M. was best man; there is a whole complex backstory to this that I will not go into here, but it delights and touches both Erika and I that David and the fine folks Atomic Werewolf -- more on whom here -- have conspired to officially release a version of the song for our seventh anniversary. So be sure to check in on March 18th on the Atomic Werewolf bandcamp page. I think there is something involving some mega-celebrity being released that same day, but I'm there for the bats.
(I see superb groundwork for a future benefit for bat conservation in BC being laid here).
Eep eep eep eep, eep eep eep.
