Where In The World Is Dudley Saunders?




Where in the world has Dudley Saunders been?! Find out this Friday in Venice, CA....

Here is a statement form the artist:

If you wonder why it's been so long between albums ... the answer is from the other side of my creative life.  Let me come out of the closet about it:

This Friday, February 12, 2pm at Beyond Baroque (Venice, CA), I'll be shooting the pilot for TELLING LA, a new public TV series that brings the live storytelling community of Los Angeles to broadcast.

A cross between THIS AMERICAN LIFE and THE MOTH, each episode of TELLING LA explores one theme through the stories of four diverse Angelenos. As the stories unfold before the live audience, what emerges is a human portrait of a mythic American city.

The pilot episode is HOW I ENDED UP IN L.A., stories of the search for home, and the moment that made these four storytellers realize that LA was where they belonged.

The (remarkable) storytellers are: Antonio SacreMaire ClerkinTrini Rodriguez and Barbara Clark. 

Right now, there are only ten seats still left.  If you would like to be in the audience for the taping - and can stay for all four stories - just RSVP at the link below.

Balloon Hats, They're What's In Style...

Trendsetter!
Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Rather than bore you with opinion, recaps and images from yesterday's Superbowl 50, like everyone else I thought I would kick off the week with some whimsy. 

Yes, it's move the fuck on it's Monday! Yay! It's a perpendicular job but someone has to do it.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt braved a blizzard in Boston (a real one, not the tasty one from Dairy Queen) - to accept the Hasty Pudding Man of the Year Award from Harvard.

Sporting a balloon hat that rocked JGL was the king of his domain.

I say we make balloon hats a trend for this week, put one on at least one day of your choosing. It will make you smile.

Hey, we all need more levity in our lives.

Happy Fucking Monday!

Selebrate Superbowl 50 With Superman!

A One Man Football Team
Henry Cavill

Happy Superbowl 50 people! I hope your favorite team wins, you have a fifty/fifty chance of that happening after all.

Of course Lady Gaga is guaranteed to score a touchdown for team Mother Monster performing the Star Spangled Banner.

Which brings me to this photo of Superman in the flesh, Henry Cavill. Mr. Cavill is a relative newcomer to Social Media joining the flock a mere four months ago. 

He has now given fans what they have been waiting for, a shirtless selfie! 

The caption read: 

“Warm up phase for Superman training started today! Posting this pic to set myself a minimum goal … and force myself to actually keep going haha! @gritandteeth.”

Henry will appear next as Superman in Batman v Superman. Then he will portray him in many more film ventures, think of it like Groundhog's Day with Bill Murray.

Enjoy the game!

The Return Of E.G. Daily




After seeing E.G. Daily perform an amazing show at the Whisky A Go Go this past November it was a no brainer she would return for another go at the venue. 

Well yesterday I got an E-mail from the Whisky saying that E.G. will indeed be coming back to play on their legendary stage on the Sunset Strip.

Tickets are on sale now for the July 22nd, yes, you heard me correctly it ain't happening until July. Talk about planning ahead, like really ahead...

E.G. will be joined by Missing Persons this time around. Even though going to see E.G. perform another home run of a concert would be enough reason for me to go, with the addition of Missing Persons I now have a bonus reason!

Missing Persons and E.G. Daily will be performing at the Whisky a go go on Friday July 22nd.   Tickets are available here, be there or miss out!
