The New York Times has come today

A shout-out from the NYT on our score of The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle.
And I quote:

"In the background, a group of musicians collectively known as Awesome lives up to its name."

So you know, we're huge in New York now, obvys.

Aw man, you shoulda been there

Tonight at rehearsal we nailed down some pretty gnarly three- and four-part harmonies. Seriously, John Ackermann totally schooled us all. Wish I could show you the video but the sound on my camera phone sucks so it wouldn't be worth it.

That concludes this week's episode of  BORING AMAZING STORIES!

Ah, The West

According to teh internets,

This huge tree was cut down by an entrepreneur in 1853 who concocted a plan to take the thick bark (just the bark!) on a worldwide exhibition and charge admission. He ran into a problem, though: it was all thought to be a hoax and people didn't believe a tree could be that large. The stump itself soon afterwards did become a tourist attraction here though: dances were held on the stump and the felled tree (still visible in the background) was shaped to form an elevated in-place bowling alley. Later the stump was used as the floor of an enclosed office building, and now it's open to the light again.

What an asshole.
