From yesterday’s Los Angeles Times:

“WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Service has informed the NAACP that it is investigating whether the civil rights organization improperly “intervened in a political campaign” when it posted on its website a speech by Chairman Julian Bond that condemned the Bush administration’s policies… I think what’s at issue is our right to criticize the president of the United States,’ Bond said Thursday. ‘The IRS is saying that because I criticized the president’s education policies, his economic policies and his war policies that somehow I placed the tax exemption for the NAACP at risk.'”

Whee! I actually feel violently ill. Jammin Java is now emotionally blacklisted in my universe. Home of melodrama and bullshit, I think it’s bad for me to even cross the line into Vienna, VA.

Heather and Crystal of California University's WVCS. During our pre-gig radio interview. We felt sparkly and personality-laden. I was really impressed with the radio station itself, and the professionalism (and later, the belly-dancer costume) of our host, Crystal. She had a very loud friend who, though I think I liked him well enough, gave me the urge to pat him on the head and through him sugar-free candy from a distance. — Heather and Crystal of California University’s WVCS.

Rob was one of the first people we met in Pittsburgh, and his girlfriend, Brandi, was one of our first friends in California - she's dressed as a butterfly at California's Halloween Party and Costume Contest. (That's what else was going on the night of our gig) — Rob was one of the first people we met in Pittsburgh, and his girlfriend, Brandi, was one of our first friends in California – she’s dressed as a butterfly at California’s Halloween Party and Costume Contest.

Death sat in the front row for Superman's set. He just sat there and pointed. Every once in a while he'd point from Supes to his scythe and back. I personally would've been greatly distracted. The show at California University was a huge success - the night was filled with fall crispness and a pseudo-full moon, and the people were simply Lovely. Sigh, chalk California, PA up as one of my new favourite places. — Death sat in the front row for Superman’s set. He just sat there and pointed.

Death at California University's Halloween party. It was a real scythe, old enough to insure that not ONLY would you be dead, but you'd have to worry about post-mortem tetanus as well. — Death at California University’s Halloween party.
