Saw Jill Sobule at Joe's Pub last night and she was awesome. She performed without her band, and did two numbers with her mom who was in from Denver--it was a blast.

I got to speak to her after the show, she signed a poster for me, and I bought two of her CDs that I didn't have: UNDERDOG VICTORIOUS and THE FOLK YEARS.

Keep fingers and toes crossed--I have a big job interview on Monday morning! This is the perfect place for me! And I could end up making more than in my job in LA! I don't want to jinx it, so no details right now.

Another employee at my job gave notice today. That's two in less than a week!

So I woke up this morning feeling like crap. Yesterday I had a sore throat, and today, I could not stop running to the john. I wanted to call in sick, but I had to be in at 8:30 for a manager's meeting. So I race to work and get there 20 minutes late, and the gate is still down. I see the Assistant Manager...

The Magic lecture was awesome.

Guess I'm going to watch the pay per view event of From the Big Apple to the Big Easy as the live event is sold out.

But I did snag a ticket to see Jill Sobule at Joe's Pub this Friday night! Can't wait. I'm going straight from work.

Might try and go to the Broadway on Broadway event today, if I get through taking my mom for her art supplies in time.

I'm definitely going to the lecture on Al Flosso given by Todd Robbins in Coney Island today.

Also have to do the schedules for the entire month of October.

Then I have to iron shirts--and it's EMMY night!

Hope I get...

Looks like the concert is sold out. I may have to stay home and watch in on pay per view--which sucks.

I can't imagine anyone would be heartless enough to scalp a benefit concert ticket, and I would not want to give them the satisfaction of making a profit on it, and I don't see any other options.

Unless anyone has any connections at Madison...

Now what do I do? There are TWO concerts the same night to benefit Katrina victims. http://www.fromthebigappletothebigeasy.com/
If I go see the one with Tom Waits I miss Jimmy Buffett, Elvis Costello, John Fogerty, Elton John, Diana Krall, Lenny Kravitz, Cyndi Lauper, Dave Matthews, Bette Midler, Simon & Garfunkel and about 14 other acts!

Still trying to see if my boss can switch my days...

Tom Waits is playing Radio City Music Hall along with some amazing performers for a Katrina benefit on the 20th of this month. I just found out about it, and of course I'm working lat, and alread asked for Sunday off to see a magic lecture. I've always wanted to see Waits play live! I'm really going to have to beg to get off early...

Gave a diamond presentation to a bunch of big wigs at work today. Everyone was pleased. Big Whoop. DOes not put any more $ in my pocket, and kept me off of the floor for a few hours where I might have had a chance to sell something.

Then the DM blew smoke up my butt, telling the CEO of the company how I will...

The Highlight of my day and a Rant.

The Highlight: Went to the Big Apple Comic Convention an hour and a half before it closed and got in for half price. Then I scored ten of Joseph Michael Linsner's Dawn comics for two bucks apiece! One dollar under the cover price. And the convention price was anywhere from $3.50 to $6.00 fof the ones I...

I have a manditory meeting I must attend at 9am, then I can't clock into work until 2pm, and I live an hour away from work! Doesn't really pay to travel one hour back home, then one hour back to work during the break. Instead I'm going to try and find size 10 narrow shoes (during the break) for my friend Nicole who is a...

Boiler on the fritz again--no hot water, and I have to take a shower in ten minutes--ice cold!
