Rest

In the Beginning…

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth, and then He rested.

Then God created man, and then they both rested.

Then God created woman, and since then neither God nor man has ever rested.

Belief

Heaven and Hell

A young woman came home and told her mom that her steady boyfriend had proposed, but she had turned him down because she found out he was an atheist, and didn't believe in Heaven or Hell. "Marry him anyway, honey. Between the two of us, we'll show him just how very wrong he is."

Senility

The Senility Prayer

God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones that I do like, and the eyesight to tell the difference

All the news fit

A Publicist for Moses

Moses: “How are we going to get across the sea? The Egyptians are close behind us!”

General of the army: “Normally, I’d recommend that we build our own bridge to carry us across. But there’s not enough time for that.”

Admiral of the navy: “Normally, I’d recommend that we build barges to carry us across. But time is too short.”

Public relations officer: “I don’t have a solution, but I can promise you this: If you can find a way out of here, I’ll get you two or three pages in the Old Testament!”

A Recently Spotted Bumper Sticker

I'm pretty sure God prefers spiritual fruits to religious nuts.

Internet

The True Origin of the Internet

In ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham Com did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot.

And Dot Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg. Indeed, she had been called 'Amazon Dot Com.'

And she said unto Abraham, her husband, "Why doth thou travel far from town to town with thy goods when thou can trade without ever leaving thy tent?"

And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle bags short of a camel load, but simply said, "How, dear?"And Dot replied, "I will place drums in all the towns and drums in between to send messages saying what you have for sale and they will reply telling you which hath the best price. And the sale can be made on the drums and delivery made by Uriah's Pony Stable (UPS)."

Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the drums. And the drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham sold all the goods he had at the top price, without ever moving from his tent.

But this success did arouse envy. A man named Maccabia did secrete himself inside Abraham's drum and was accused of insider trading. And the young man did take to Dot Com's trading as doth the greedy horsefly take to camel dung. They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Siderites, or NERDS for short.

And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the deafening sound of drums that no one noticed that the real riches were going to the drum maker, one Brother William of Gates, who bought up every drum company in the land. And indeed did insist on making drums that would work only with Brother Gates' drumheads and drumsticks.

And Dot did say, "Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over by others."

And as Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel, or as it came to be known "eBay" he said, "We need a name that reflects what we are."

And Dot replied, "Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators."

"YAHOO," said Abraham.

And that is how it all began. It wasn't Al Gore after all.

::tour with ben folds a success::

The Lonely Avenue Tour with Ben Folds proved to be even more amazing than we could have imagined. Every night, we played in beautiful theatres, packed to the brim with loyal Ben Folds fans (whom we subjected to our music before they were allowed to see the main event). The audiences were incredible. Thank you to everyone who came out: for those long-time fans who road-tripped out to see us, and for those brand-new fans who we met for the first time when we stepped onto the stage.
Ben Folds and his band are fantastic guys and (obviously) inspiring musicians. Every night after we played, we snuck up into the balcony-seats and watched their set with adoring eyes, singing along. We are so grateful to have shared the road (and stage) with them.
We still have one more show coming up (12/14 in NYC @ the Beacon Theatre, tickets here), so we'll wait to share more pics and details from the tour until next issue. Stay tuned, folks.

::rockdrive 2010 benefit show this weekend in LA::

We are proud to join the incredible lineup for this Saturday's (12/11 @ 7pm, all ages) "ROCKDRIVE 2010", a music benefit geared toward raising funds to support public education in Los Angeles.

Proceeds from the evening will benefit Communities In Schools (CIS), the largest dropout prevention organization in the United States endorsed by Nelson Mandela and Michelle Obama, and The Story Project, a local inner city literacy program that teaches through film, poetry, and music. Come join for a night of incredible music for an incredible cause!

::new lady danville merch for the holidays::

Right before we left on the Ben Folds Tour, we made an exclusive lady danville tour sampler, only to be sold on the road. Because we're feeling extra holiday-spirity, we decided to sell the hard copy on our merch site for a limited time only (tracks also available for purchase on our myspace). Also on the merch site, check out our brand new hoodies (to keep out the cold) and fresh t-shirts (if you live in LA and don't know what "cold" is).
