"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of Sebbys suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."

I get a lot of calls from push polls on local issues. Not sure why.

We may be old but we're still cool.

Just got an invite to the Grammys, and will get to go up for the award if we win. How cool is that?

The Grammys are fucking stupid.

And that is very cool. Good luck.

It's a small political award for years of service to the Opera and Orchestra involved in it as well as the record label (it's a label the Orchestra created a few years ago). Who knows, maybe it will change before the event. But we'll just be on the afternoon webcast, they save the evening for the popular music.

I'm thinking I may need to throw a party to celebrate the nomination, another chance to invite everyone but Alan Dershowitz.
