The Countdown's Begun


Three days in the desert.

Over 30 hours of some of the coolest music you've heard.

Hours of dancing in the dj tents in 100+ degree weather.

Getting to the main stage 1 hour before the band you want to see comes on, suffering through the band that's currently on, all because you want to stand next to the stage while your band plays.

Can't wait.

FYI: we can't get the condo we had last year. :-( So if you know anyone in Palm Springs who'd like to house 4-6 adults for the weekend...let me know.

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Inland North

You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

6 Year Old Me Is Ecstatic!

My Little Pony Live

It seems the universe hears my wishes... the timing's just a little off.

Another example: When I was 11 I would have loved to see Debbie Gibson in concert. I saw her when I was 22 in "Cabaret" instead.

Celebrities Are Attention Whores

My new favorite (reality) show is VH1's Surreal Life Fame Games. And it's timing is perfect considering that my reigning favorite reality show (until Tim Gunn and his magnificent vocabulary comes back), Top Chef, is winding down.

From what I can gather, Surreal Life Fame Games is made up of old Surreal Life cast members. (Grandma - the Surreal Life is a tv show on VH1 where old tv stars and pop stars live in a house for a few weeks and basically get drunk, get weird and get on each other's nerves. All while cameras are following them.)

So far, my favorite person on the show: C.C. Deville. Of Poison. I'm not a Poison fan. And I never was. Which is why this is so surprising. And I'm not too sure I would have been a fan of C.C. while he was in Poison. But, now that he's sober - he's fantastic! He's my favorite person on the show right now. He makes me laugh, but I think that's unintentional. I don't think he's trying to be funny. Best thing about C.C.? His reason to be on the show: he's a whore. (Those are his words, not mine.) I love the honesty and the nonchalant tone he used when admitting it. I have no idea what the show's about at this point. But I'm sure there's a winner. And I hope he's it.

Speaking of unintentionally funny: Vanilla Ice. Oh, I'm sorry... his name is Rob Van Winkle. And according to Brigitte Nielsen (another guest in the house) - she and Vanilla Ice use to be an item. Weird, I can't figure that out. Anyways, I'm watching Ice talk about something and he just reminded me of someone other than himself. And then it hit me. I feel like an introduction is in order. K-Fed - meet your future.

It looks like the games are starting (something involving A-list and B-lists). I'm going to start watching and I'll get back to you with other random thoughts on the show.
