« I MISS AUGUST | Main | You have a Postcard »

O.K.- I was told how many people have visited this web-site, it's a big number, something like 139,000 people in one week. Thank you all for coming! But this has made me so self-conscious I can no longer ramble on freely. So maybe I'll just try to show you things I think are great but don't have the advertising budget Thumbsucker does.

MT. EGYPT
I love both of his records, Battening the Hatches and his new one Perspectives. If you're in LA in OCT. he's playing at Tangier a bunch (I don't know what or where that is but I'm sure you can find it). You can hear some songs on his website. I love his music.

THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES
I am so proud that the HSUS is part of our website and will have tables at our premieres. I just saw a piece on CNN reporting how they are helping with all the abandoned pets in the wake of Katrina. The representative said the human crisis and the animal crisis are interrelated: so many of the people that stayed to save their pets, and so many of the people that made it out are now desperately searching for their lost animals. It was wonderful to see this group doing all they can to rescue animals and reunite them with their people.

THE SIERRA CLUB
I am also so proud and excited that the Sierra Club is part of our website and premieres. The following is from their website concerning the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: “Congress is closer than ever to turning the pristine, unspoiled Arctic National Wildlife Refuge into an industrial oil field, but there is still time to save the Refuge! That's why a coalition of conservation, labor, religious and other citizen groups representing millions of Americans who believe the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge should remain wild, unspoiled and free of oil rigs have joined together to create Arctic Refuge Action. With a pivotal vote scheduled for this coming September, we hope you'll join us this summer in an unprecedented grassroots campaign to save the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge!"

SARAH SHAPIRO
Her first record, A River of Blood, on DoggPony records is great. She's one third of New England Roses, and she's working on a new record that totally blows me away. I mean it.

CAYCE, TODD, and CORTEZ
My great friends and my awesome godson! I have dinner at their house way too often and they are some of my favorite people. I can call them no matter what I did wrong, no matter what mood I'm in and they can deal with it. I don't know what's better than that. I love you guys!
