State Shirt (aka – Ethan aka – My sisters boyfriend) is playing a show at 10pm on November 5th at the Hotel Cafe, If it’s not past your bedtime, I highly recommend you check it out… He’s really good!

There’s a new Farrell’s opening in The O.C.  I like this trend of old restaurants from our childhood making a comeback!  Like all the new Bob’s Big Boy’s that have opened…  And did I mention that the one at the 5 freeway and Sunland has a lounge!

Don’t forget, If you want to hang with Stretch and Me during our show on Friday just come on down to the CRN studios… We’ll be having a costume contest and performing the show live, it should be fun.

Do you want to read this book?  Another reason dogs rule.  I do I get this Un-Job. Who’s scaring who?   He gets to wisecrack in the showers now.  This is HORRIBLE!  Tweet and win.  Attack dog!

Rock On, Jack
