So, instead of doing Theme Thursday this week, I'm going to just write about a few miscellaneous things that I think you guys will enjoy. And let me just add before I get started, that I would LOVE suggestions for future themes, so please leave them in comments or email them to me. Blogging is way more fun when people participate.

I hate self-promoting on this blog, but this could theoretically benefit some of you reading this so let me just quick throw out that I am co-hosting a networking event for performing-arts people here in Manhattan - particularly actors, filmmakers and writers (but hey, if you dance and music people want to come too, it never hurts to make connections with people in other mediums). Particularly for you music people, I know I am going to need original songs for my TV pilot. Anyway, here's the event info:

Time: Thursday, November 29th (tonight) from 7-10pm
Place: Triple Crown (330 7th Avenue between 28th and 29th Streets)

It should be a really great time. There will be drink specials, and you can drop off your headshots/business cards with various film companies that will be there. We're also collecting coats for the homeless. Admission is $15 but only $10 if you bring a coat. The money goes to my production company for our TV pilot, as well as the other company that's hosting the event. And the coats obviously go to the homeless. So come, support your fellow artists, give to charity and have fun meeting other local artists.

The other thing I want to write about is a t-shirt I ordered last night. Random, I know. But I don't shove annoying American Apparel ads in your faces in between my blog posts, so I think it's ok that I promote this company this one time. As if the t-shirt itself wasn't awesome enough (pictured right), once I placed my order, I got this awesome message:

"Thank You for your order with PalmerCash.com
Right now your order is being printed out in the center of our warehouse on paper made of gold. We are all standing around waiting for it to finish and then we will place your order on a pillow as we wait for Palmer Cash to announce what you have ordered. Standing from his podium he will ring the bell 3 times and everyone will stop what they are doing as he reads your order to us. Then we will all burst into song and dance with such religious fervor to your wise and excellent choices. Next your order will be packed with care by 3 virgin and one very advanced monkey wearing white gloves into a specially designed package that resists water, dirt, air and radiation in case of a nuclear explosion. Then your order will be sent out Priority Mail and make its long journey to it's new home avoiding thieves and hoodlums to land softly in your caring hands."

It made my day. Hopefully it will make yours too. So go order t-shirts from PalmerCash because they're awesome.

And since this is a music blog, here's a song to close the day with:

Silver Lining [mp3] - Rilo Kiley - "Under the Blacklight" (iTunes)
