My wonderful producer emailed this to me today:
The History Channel presents This Day in History:
1970: The spork is patented, by the Van Brode Milling Company of Massachusetts. The spoon-like utensil, with the tines of a fork, was said to have been introduced into Japan by the U.S. Army to wean the population there from the use of chopsticks. Its inventor is unknown.

OK...so my band THE WEEKEND is trying to plan a US tour for the month of NOVEMBER...if anyone can help me out with some contacts (ie. promoters, venues, etc.), that would be awesome. Even opening slots for good local bands is fine with us. Money is not really and issue. We just wanna' TOUR! Any help would be amazing. We aren't well known in the states as of yet.....but we wanna' work our way in. Thanks
