Denied again

So for a 3rd year in a row   the fan expo  has given us a great big f u . Once again we applied for press passes--over a month ago i might add and once again we were rejected. Third year in a row--third different excuse as to why not. This year we were told it was due to space restrictions. We're asking for passes for sunday--the slowest day of the 4 day convention. I can tell you why we were declined--fan expo is greedy.  There are thousands of people getting into  this convention and they can't spare a few passes? Last year we were told we were declined because they chose the passes in a lottery. I don't get it. The fine folks at wizard world call us and ask us if we want press passes. I don't see what the big deal is. I really don't. They've raised the price of tickets so we can't all afford to go. Kath and Diana are sitting this one out. Money grubbing sons of bitches. F U fan expo.

Too much wikipedia not enough work

  How was work today? Yup you guessed it. I sat on my ass again all day not doing anything. It actually was a drag. I was falling asleep and i got a head ache. I was told our system would be fixed by Monday. Thankfully i won't be there tomorrow. There was only so much i could look up on the internet and by the time i did a search on the Brady Brides i knew it was getting ridiculous. Fingers crossed i have work to do on Monday. Never thought i would ever write that sentence ever

asleep at the desk again

  Guess what? Yup i had another day of sitting at my desk falling asleep because the server didn't work again. Definitely not complaining although it was a little boring. Will everything be fixed tomorrow? Tune in to find out  same bat time same bat channel!

Eight hours of jack shit

 Folks, pardon my french but today at work i did sweet fuck all for 8 hours. It wasn't by choice. The system that sends us our calls was down. So rather than go home in case it was fixed, we had to sit there and we were allowed to surf the net. I gotta tell ya, i was ready for a nap. It was so boring. I'm so thankful that its a short week. I have Saturday off so i only have to work 2 more shifts this week. Going to what i think is going to be a most excellent wedding on Saturday. More on that later in the week. I can't believe I'm gonna say this but i hope the system is fixed tomorrow so i can actually do work. I guess i'll find out in 10 hours.

They may be coming to your town

    Holy crap. The surviving members of the Monkees are reuniting for a series of 12 concerts. Unfortunately as everyone knows Davey Jones passed away earlier this year. I figured that was the end of the band and there was no way micky Dolenz and Peter Tork would ever tour as the Monkees again. What makes this even  cooler is that my favorite member of the group--Michael Nesmith will be joining them. The monkees formed in the 60's and have done many reunion shows since 1986. Nesmith has only done a handful of shows with them since 1986. He hasn't shared the stage with them since 1997. I love his music and have his solo albums as well. I was trying to not get to excited about this figuring they would come nowhere near us to play. I was wrong. One of the 12 concerts is in Buffalo. Man i want to go so bad. They have said that they will be playing with a back up band but there will be a segment of the show where  just the 3 of them will playing  one of their albums in its entirety. So cool.

Kim And Trish

  So it has been a really descent month. Work has been ok. Its boring work but at least no one is yelling at me every minute of the day. Enough about work though. Last night we had an awesome show. Our friends Kim and Trish were our guests. They know their stuff that's for sure. I met them years ago when i worked at a hell hole of a restaurant called the donut diner. I think on my first or second day there they started talking to me and a friendship was born. They helped me keep my sanity. We called each other the Super friends.  Man the show was fun. It was cool reuniting with the girls,had a fantastic time.

Can it be October now?

      Well i waited until half way through August to blog. Not sure why. It hasn't been a bad month.  I do want to start the month off with something that made us really happy. So i did mention that Kath and i are doing a show from the Buffalo con. A few days ago The owner of Queen city books pimped us on the facebook page for the con. It was so cool. They are working with us big time. I can't wait. I've included the picture that was on the page. I am so looking forward to this. Its gonna be a blast.
