28 Days Later...

...I finally decide to write a blog.


I will admit it. I suck at updating this blog. I'm straight up awful at it. In my defense it has been kind of crazy around here lately as we gear up for Jonesy being gone for the summer with the Sex Pistols. They play the big show, the only one in the states, at the Hard Rock in Vegas on June 7th and then leave to play festivals in faraway lands for 3 months. If you feel like traveling this summer and going on adventures to see the Pistols here are all the dates.

Some things that have been going on in the past couple weeks while I was busy not updating this blog:



-- We had Perry Farrell on at the beginning of the month. He was a really fun guest. It was a show full of those moments that can only happen on Jonesy's Jukebox and INDIE 1031...ya know, a moment like Steve Jones and Perry Farrell jamming out a fantastic cover of Twist & Shout.





-- Mike Doughty of Soul Coughing fame, came in on an early May Saturday night to pre-record a show with us to run in the summer. He performed a bunch of songs and hung out for two hours of radio magic with Jonesy. One of my roommates Paul, is the biggest Doughty fan of all time. Unfortunately, he was out of town when Mike came in. Paul was bummed about this to say the least, but being the awesome caring roommate I am I made him a copy of the show. The rest of you will hear it sometime in July!




-- May 18th marked exactly one year to the day that I moved out here to L.A. Last weekend I traveled back east to Boston for the first time in a year. I actually just got back Tuesday night. I went home for my sisters high school graduation. Congrats Carolyn! It was fun to go home and see all my friends and family. I got to hang out with some great cats I had not seen in a while. I also went to the radio station I used to work at, WFNX. Getting to see The Sandbox dudes and all my friends at FNX was a great time. As good as it was to visit home and Boston for a while, I have to say I was pretty happy to return to L.A.





-- In case you didn't know I am a GIGANTIC basketball fan, which also makes me a die hard Boston Celtics fan. The Celtics went up 3 games to 2 on the Detroit Pistons last night in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals in what has been one of the best post seasons for the NBA in a long time. If they win tomorrow night they will go on to the NBA finals for the first time since 1986. This is already very exciting. Now throw in the fact that tonight the Lakers could finish off the Spurs as they are up 3 games to 1, making it a Celtics vs. Lakers NBA finals just like the old days with Magic and Bird. It will be a clash of my two worlds, Los Angeles where I live now and Boston my hometown! I have enjoyed watching the Lakers and Kobe all season and have been routing for them in the playoffs so this Boston vs. L.A. scenario would come true; and now we are only 2 wins away from it actually happening. Obviously I will be routing for the Celtics without question. It will absolutely be a historic NBA finals. If you think I am not trying to find a way into the Staples center for one of those games you are out of your blog reading mind! GO CELTICS!!!!








--Tonight is the 3 hour season four finale of the best show on television...LOST! This has been my reason to live until May 29th. I almost can't even function today because of what is about to go down between the hours of 8pm-11pm tonight. If I survive the LOST finale tonight there will be more blogging to come tomorrow...errr or 28 days from now. I've decided I like to keep all of you readers (and by all of you readers I mean my mom and my roommates) on your toes so you never know if or when you are getting a new blog. It will be like a nice little surprise to your day when there is a new post. Thats my story and I'm stickin' to it!


Thanks for reading!
