Progressive rock group Coheed and Cambria will be doing a live appearance at the Best Buy in Union Square in NYC to promote the release of their new album & novel package, “Year of the Black Rainbow.” Since I co-wrote the novel, I will be there as well and will do a reading from the book while C&C perform an accoustical set. It starts at 6 PM tonight. If you’re one of those who can’t make it (and you know who you are) you can watch it live-streamed here:

UPDATE: If you missed it, it’s going to be repeated tomorrow, Wednesday at 3 PM.

I heard an oldies song on the radio called “I’m Your Puppet.”  Has anyone done a video of it using “Smile Time” from “Angel” as the source material?  Because it seems perfect.  I could see it in my head.

Honest to God, the gullibility quotient this year for fans is through the roof.  I look around the Internet or get emails from people raging over obviously bogus announcements or see them lambasting various creators over things they were alleged to have said and obviously didn’t.    It’s as if April Fool’s Day was invented for the hair-trigger mentality of Internet denizens to go nuts over. Still, in the spirit of the day, I offer the following Broadway Moment that sums it all up:

As the series barrels towards its final six episodes and inevitable denouement, the stakes have been made abundantly clear.  Gone are all the notions that the show is “about” some massive scientific experiment gone wrong that was perpetrated by the Dharma Initiative.  Indeed, I can’t remember off hand the last time the group was mentioned by name, although as it so happens the name “Dharma” means “righteous path.”  And it’s become evident that that is what the show is truly about:  following a righteous path toward, perhaps, enlightenment.  The light is now dawning for all the remaining survivors and, thank God, for the viewer.

President Obama has just announced that he will lift a ban on oil drilling near Virginia’s shorelines.  This is how we’re exploring alternate energy sources?  By drilling fifty miles off the coast of Virginia?

Let’s hope some sort of mishap doesn’t result in the beaches being redecorated.

Haven’t done this in a while.  What’d you get this week?

Also, I’ll be discussing “Lost” tomorrow, so if you’re watching it on DVR, now’s the time to get caught up.

I’m going to be splitting my time this coming weekend between I-Con and Babylon Lanes where the PBA tour is coming through.  I’ll be at I-Con Friday and most of Saturday, but then Saturday evening will be bowling on the 7 PM squad for the Pro/Am.  Anyone who honestly doesn’t have anything better to do can swing by and watch, although there’s a $10 entry fee.  I won’t be around at the convention much on Sunday, if at all, because Kathleen, Caroline and I will be attending the ESPN broadcast of the Sunday tournament which is at 2 PM EST.  I figure I’ll be wearing the red and black Spider-Man jersey since that really popped on TV last time, although Caroline being sufficiently adorable, they’ll probably put the camera on her a few times.
