if I keep selling CDs at this rate, I'm gonna buy myself a pony. okay, a My Little Pony.

A friend of a friend bought my CD, and I've since been informed that he's listening to it on a continuous loop while he works, because it makes him feel like I'm "standing over him with a whip, urging him to work faster, work faster!"

On a positive note, CDBaby has sold out of my initial shipment of (five) CDs and has asked me to send more. My CD will also soon be for sale at Bowery Poetry Club!

My new variety show, the People's Democratic Republic of the English Language, is seeking a venue. I've sent out a couple of proposals and am trying to get a good monthly spot. PDRoTEL will be a monthly comedy and musical comedy themed variety show, emceed by me, and rife with audience participation contests, including trivia, spelling and literary quizzes ("guess the author"), and other wordy diversions.
