Hey folks. I just recently received a call from our own Brendan Greeley who informed me that he is, for lack of better words, 'trapped in the courtroom'. You see, Brendan spent the morning covering the happenings at the R. Kelly trial, which is kind of like a six year old kid covering Santa coming to town. It's going to be hard to tear him away. When we spoke on the phone, he said he was putting all his personal belongings into a closet, yes, trapping them in a closet, before heading into jury selection. I decided it was best to be flexible about all this, since it is probably the biggest day of Brendo's life so far. If you could only hear the giddiness in that subsonic voice of his, I know you would understand. It makes Brendan happy, and "happy people keeps the world turnin, turnin, turnin; and happy people keeps us dancin, dancin, dancin." I think we all know who wrote that choice poetry.

If we can do a show today, in other words, if Brendan can ever separate himself from his idol and mentor, R. Kelly, we definitely will. Check back with us later and take a look in the podcast's section. Sorry for any confusion!

There was no show today due to illness. Matt thinks it might've been something in the "Dianetics Stew" at the Scientology party he attended for Suri Cruise's two years and two weeks birthday party. Hopefully, we will be back in action soon. Matt wants to get back on his feet quickly, because Rob Thomas is performing at the two years and three weeks Suri party. Updates will be forthcoming.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! For all you non-spanish speakers, that translates "five of mayo", which is a way to ask for condiments in the native Mexican tongue, Spanish. I'm only kidding, we all of course know that Cinco de Mayo commemorates an initial victory of Mexican forces led by General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguin over French forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862...and I definitely didn't wikipedia that.

This holiday has become engrained in the American way of life, I feel, for two reasons. First, we have a lot of Mexicans here in America. Second, we Americans will accept any holiday that allows us to get drunk on a specific day, no matter where it falls in the week. We don't really care about the significance or the history of the holiday, we just want to drink tequilla and maybe take a few swings at a multi-colored donkey piñata. I know Brendan and I will be out grinding, or "El Grindo" in celebration(maybe even with some Latinas!), and most likely cap things off with a taco. ¡Viva La México!
