I knew a cat who would do that. It was the most adorable thing ever. What were they trying to do? Where did they think that would get them? Why the sink?

Dear Oneida,
April 1st, 2011
You are my favorite live band. I saw you play twice in Winston-Salem North Carolina, and those shows were unforgettable. Then I moved to Denver, where I’ve lived for almost five years. I haven’t seen you play in five years. Will you come to Denver?
Sincerely,
Joe
Dear non-Oneida people reading this letter: Please click this link and go to the Oneida website. If enough people click this link the Oneida website people will notice it, tell the band about it, and then the band will read the letter and then consider including Denver in their next tour. Yes, it will be so.

On playing more chess
June 1st, 2010
So, I’ve been playing a lot more chess lately. Now that I’m playing more, I’m more comfortable taking risks, and I’m losing more, and I’m winning more too.

May 18th, 2010
Mt. St. Helens blew up 30 years ago today. I remember putting a bandana over my face and sweeping ash from the sidewalk of my parents’ Portland home.
Would you rather die in a volcano eruption, a tsunami, an earthquake, a flood, a hurricane or a tornado?

The impromptu Avett Brothers haiku ticket contest I launched on craigslist
April 26th, 2010
I had a ticket to Wednesday’s Avett Brothers show at the Boulder Theater. I couldn’t go, and so I went to craigslist to sell the ticket.
I didn’t want to sell it to the first person to email me … that’s boring. So I wrote this in the post: “If you want the ticket, send an email with a haiku about the Avett Brothers. Best haiku gets the ticket.”
Here are the haikus I got:
Hark! Honey on ears sight, smell, touch, taste envious. Avett Bros. good sound.
