The Power of The INDIE 1031 Hoodie



Before I start my story of what happened to me and my INDIE 1031 hoodie last night I want to comment on the show from today real quick. It's Friday, so as we do every Friday, It was Jonesy's Jukebox Jury. The Panel today was some of the cast and the director of the new movie Sex and Death 101. It's out today on a limited release in L.A. and NYC. Here in L.A. its playing at the Laemmle Sunset 5 in Hollywood and the Laemmle Playhouse 7 in Pasadena. If you are reading this from New York you can catch the flick at City Cinemas Village East in NYC. The rest of the country, sorry you have to wait.

This was the second time Patton Oswalt has been on a Jury. The last time being with the Reno 911 guys, Tom Lennon and Ben Garant, to promote Balls of Fury. What a deadly comedic combo that was. Patton always kills when he comes on. He is truly one of the nicest guys I've met. I think he is one of the best comedians of our time. He is so quick, witty, and one of those people who can tell fantastic stories and make anything they talk about hilarious and fun to listen to. Brilliant.

We had one of the guests cancel so the last minute replacement was Pollyanna McIntosh. I'm just going to say it. There is no way around it, she is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. She was super nice and pretty funny. Best of luck to her.

Mindy Cohn
was a sweetheart. Very likable and interesting to talk to. Dan Waters, the director of the film was is a very clever guy and was also very interesting on the air.

All around a it was a fantastic Jury today, even though we did not get to any music. Make sure you check out the podcast on itunes and on the INDIE 1031 site.



Okay, on to my story from last night that Party Girl Stacey and our web guy Alan have been hounding me to blog about.

"The Power of The INDIE 1031 Hoodie"





For those of you who don't know, Jonesy has been giving me a hard time since the very first day I started last May about me and the opposite sex. Therefore, whenever I have any kind of encounter with a female it becomes headline news here in the Indie 1031 hallways. Well...last night I had an encounter.

My friend Joe and I frequent a thing called "Dance Right" on Thursday nights at La Cita in downtown L.A. It was actually a night started by the ever popular, friend of Jonesy's Jukebox, Shepard Fairey. Shepard or as he is known at La Cita, DJ Diabetic, and some other DJ's spin every Thursday and have guest DJ's come down most of the time. It is actually a pretty great time. Drinks are cheap, music is awesome, and of best of all there are always a lot of attractive females in attendance.

So, last night Joe and I are hanging out on the patio out back. As we are talking I sense two girls walk up behind me. I turn around to say hello and one of the girls asks me "Where did you get this hoodie? It's awesome, I want one!" I was wearing my new kick-ass Ed Hardy Indie 1031 hoodie that they made for everyone who works at the station. I proceed to explain to that to her, ask if she is a fan of the station, and if she listens to Jonesy's Jukebox. She says she is a fan and does listen to the box. I immediately think she is all lies and is just saying it to be nice, but then she starts referencing guests and past shows. As usual I was wrong. It's important to say that had this have been a Saturday night I most likely would not be able to tell you if she was attractive or not because I would have been about nine beers deep. Last night this was not the case. It was a Thursday night and I had a Jury to do today so I only had two beers(way to be Captain Responsible, I know). I was pretty excited because she was super cute and seemed to enjoy talking to me about music, indie, and me and Joe telling her she looked like J-Lo circa the "I'm Real" video with Ja Rule because of her outfit and awesome hat.

At this point it's about 12:30am so Joe and I make the decision to go cut a rug on the dance floor inside for about 20 minutes and then bail. J-Lo had went to grab a drink so as we were walking back inside I passed her and told her our plan. Ten minutes later Me, Joe, J-Lo and her friends are all inside dancing to music that is literally shaking the walls. J-Lo and I start dancing together and we are killing it! Honestly, it was like Favreau and Heather Graham in Swingers. At one point I did the Swingers spin move and we ended up about four inches away from each other faces which led to us making out and dancing for another forty five minutes.

Seeing as it was 1:30am we decided to call it a night. J-Lo and I exchanged numbers and texts. We are planning to hang out this weekend. If all goes well maybe we can give Ja Rule a call to come hang out. I mean, he's got time right? That "I'm Real" video might actually be the last thing he's done.

Lesson learned last night: Wear my INDIE 1031 hoodie at all times.


Have a fantastic weekend.

Thanks for reading!
