*Today’s Hormonescope for Aquarius: I hate to be the one to tell you this but there are more Aquarians in mental institutions than any other sign. Take this as a warning to try and maintain. I know that your mind is going a zillion miles an hour, you just need to sit down and take some [...]
+ Ellyn’s Band!
PondWater Society event July 10, 2010
Ellyn Maybe & Tommy Jordan
I’ve seen Ellyn Maybe & her band at a number of events and also when they had their residency at 212 in Santa Monica. Every single time, I find myself grinning like a maniac, I just get so excited by the music and [...]

Picking out which of the limes in the grocer’s basket is the greenest, the ripest, the worthiest, you finish off the thousands of man-hours that went into making them all identical.

The Guinea Hen – go ahead and click, she'll get bigger and look down on you.
Well, I wondered how long it would take for the guinea hen to reach a comfort level with poetry readings and feel it was safe to attend one. I got my answer, during the 5th [...]
First of all, there are so many connotations, misrepresentations and misunderstandings (Nobody understands me!). It seems to me that a lot of people hear the word “Hedonist” and think of things like devil worship or Satan. Which, truth be told, is not all that far off if you consider Satan as Anti-Christ. What did Christ do? [...]
Every Wednesday at a place called “The Basement” in Long Beach there is an entertainment that is worth the drive from wherever you are in this lower section of California. You know its always going to be a drive, right? Once you surrender to that, your options are phenomenal and “The Lightbulb Mouth Radio Hour” is [...]
