“

But lets think about this for a second and turn this around a little bit.What if I told the wine bar owner that I have a great band and we are going to play at my house. I need someone to provide and pour wine while we play. I can’t pay much, just $75 and you must bring at least 25 people who are willing to pay a $10 cover charge at the door. Now wouldn’t they look at you like you are crazy?

“Why would I do that,” they would ask? Well, because it’s great exposure for you and your wine bar. The people there would see how well you pour wine and see how good your wine is. Then they would come out to your wine bar sometime. ”But I brought all the people myself, I already know them,” they would say. Well maybe you could make up some professional looking flyers, pass them out, and get people you don’t know to come on out. ”But you are only paying me $75, How can I afford to make up flyers?”

You see how absurd this sounds, but musicians do this all the time.

Why don’t you play out more, Grant? Well.

My Five Favorite Episodes of “The Big Bang Theory”

yourmonkeycalled:

(Note: I have never seen “The Big Bang Theory.”)

The one where Big Bang and Duckie accidentally reinvent cheese.

The one where they play laser tag for the whole episode.

The one where Big Bang and Oren (killer Kevin James guest star) open an exotic meat store.

The one where Big Bang learns his dad is gay—and blind.

The one where Duckie falls in love with Katie Couric.

I was in a book store, eavesdropping on the conversation of two black ladies:

BL1: I finally got around to seeing The Help.
BL2: Oh yeah? How was it?
BL1: (weary laugh) Oh, you know.
BL2: Yup.
