Dear Canadian Fans Who Stopped By Our Office Today
I am really sorry. I was going to round up a few people and bring them down to meet you. I promise I was. But everyone was shooting in the garage and I got pulled into a meeting. By the time I remembered and called the front desk to see if you were there, you guys had left. I’m very sorry, I feel like an asshole. If you come back tomorrow, I will bring you all free candy from our...

So I’m looking for some good...
We're (hopefully not) #1!
Dear US Soccer Team,
I’m going to England on Sunday for vacation. I realized that I’m going to be there when you play England in the World Cup. Now, I am a patriot and I will usually root for my home team, but I fear that if you win against England I will be beaten to death by soccer hooligans.

Sing Talk - MP3 Download →
“Sing Talk” the Ke$ha parody Sarah and I wrote, was played on the radio (apparently)! Sarah and I are both frustrated musicians so there is really nothing quite as cool to us as to hear our song on the radio. If you want to make our childhood dreams come true, download the MP3 at the link above, send it to your local radio station and DEMAND they play it!
