It is 2011, and people are still sending out mass emails without using the BCC field.
Not that I don’t appreciate having access to Kurt Bloch’s email address.
Oh, and look: Grant Lee Buffalo keyboardist/bass player Paul Kimble’s, too. No way that one doesn’t get used late at night when I’m drunk. “Remember that time you played Bogart’s in Cincinnati...

I don’t know what Klout is, but if I’m “influential” on those three topics, my life is complete, and I can quit the Internet.

Spent the day with Her. I don’t think she knows she’s Her, but she has been Her since the day I met her seven years ago. Our light burned bright and fast back then, or at least it did in me. We worked in the same department and became fast...
