My good friend Craig bought us all Yankees tickets last December. It was a crazy coincidence that our game fell on the day he would leave his company to come work with me. What a game. Niki’s favorite Yankee Jorge Posada did everything right. He settled down relief pitcher Aaron Small, survived a violent collisionContinue reading “Hip, hip, Jorge”

Last night Niki and I saw Depeche Mode at Jones Beach. We will be spending a lot of time there this summer. We used to see six or eight shows a year there and then we had kids. I decided that it would be a good thing to start breaking away for concerts again —Continue reading “Dave Gahan and me”

Interesting story in Valleywag yesterday about how I’m pissing off John Battelle by squatting his nom du com, JohnBattelle.com. I happened to be the registrant for all domains Jason had back in the Silicon Alley Reporter days and I don’t think I’ve ever met John Battelle, so it would be kind of silly for him to beContinue reading “Wag the blog”

Seeing Glenn Tilbrook play live rolls back time a decade or two for me. Of course closing down the bar he’s playing in at 3am rolls that clock forward again and then some… The Peak’s birthday show on Friday was a blast. We met some good people including some of the DJs, we heard a decent set from JeffreyContinue reading “Heart like a gun was just half of the battle”

My favorite little world class rock station in New York’s backyard just turned two and celebrated with a concert in White Plains on Friday night. Niki and I spent the evening without kids for the first time in a long time. Well, I’m on the road right now so that happens more often for meContinue reading “And a one, and a two”

I have to say that I don’t totally understand my Canadian sister and I doubt she understands me either. But when I have a gallon of Coors Light in me and Glenn Tilbrook is on stage singing I could only feel closer to her if we were Siamese twins.

A few weeks ago, Niki and I met Rachael Ray’s half-sister, but she wasn’t aware of her family connection. Our waitress came over and when she smiled you would have sworn it was a younger Rachael Ray. We told her who she reminded us of and she said that we weren’t the first people toContinue reading “Rachael Ray’s half-sister”

Congratulations to Reese Witherspoon on her Oscar for best actress. I’m a voting member of the Academy, but one with lots of distractions, so I didn’t get a chance to review Walk The Line. I voted for her anyway, largely because she was brilliant as Tracy Flick in Election. I hope she tops her own $30 millionContinue reading “Reese is the word”

Niki and I turned 75 today. Guess which one of us is 45 and which one is 30. (Okay, so we’re both still in our thirties…I’ve got a lot of gray.) I kicked the day off with a 6am conference call. AOL hosting did some networking upgrades for us and I guess it’s better toContinue reading “March 6 of the penguins”

Spamalot is amazing. Niki and I saw it a few nights ago and it was a mix of Monty Python lines everyone knows by heart and some crazy new musical stuff just for Broadway. Afterwards we met Hank Azaria and David Hyde Pierce. Everyone else was all like “I loved you on Frasier”, but IContinue reading “Spamalot”
