My friend Mike is up for a $5,000 prize for this video he and Reynard made for Heavy.com's Jackass2 contest. At the end of the competition (another week or so) the most viewed video wins. So watch and help him win! (And it's really funny!)
Vote for dance liberation!

Blustery. Winds gusting at times to more than 40 miles per hour.
Cold. 25 degrees, "feels like 11."
Icy. Whatever rain or snow fell last night is now shellacked to the pavement.
And it's bright and sunny. Sounds good, but 1) it makes the ice slick, and 2) it is blinding.
So you can take part in X-treme sports just by going outside. Just get on the sidewalk and bend your knees a little, and you'll start skating along. You might want to bring some ski poles. Because I'm sure like me you happen to have a stash of ski poles taking up space. I guess it's Special X-treme Sports, because you're blind, too.
Fortunately, all this nonsense should calm down tomorrow night in time for Dodge City, to a balmy windless 23 degrees. I.e., "feels like 23." Now that's the kind of weather you can sink your teeth into, that fires you up and makes you want to live!*
If you have any interest in life, please come join me and these high-quality guests tomorrow night:
Angry Bob

Abbi Crutchfield

*Entering a mixed metaphor contest.
Riboflava was supposed to be my sidekick, a decade or so back when I wanted to be Vitamin D. Sigh, yet another dream of youth that tumbled aside to the gutter on the road to maturity. That and being an X-treme sports champion. It looks like fun to roll around in a bowl all day to rock music. There are three trillion Vitamin Ds by now, I'm sure. I guess I just never met my Riboflava, is all.
So, my nowadays dream is that you'll come to Dodge City this Sunday, because this week we've got:
Montreal Just For Laughs alum Jordan Carlos, author of last week's Washington Post article My Schtick? Being Black
Pat O'Shea, host of the long-running Brooklyn comedy show Ed Sullivan On Acid
VH1 podcaster Mindy Raf, whose Leibya Rogers has been making women switch teams across the nation
Connecticut-bred playboy Jeff Mac of Comedy Central's Live at Gotham (sorry Jeff, it's the croquet mallet)

Great. I know of a gig you are qualified to try out for. First thing tomorrow.
If you haven't been to a Dodge City show yet, now's the time. Or even if you have been. It being January, I'm on an existential upswing.
Do you know what that means? Do I? Would you like to know who the guests will be?
Speaking of existential...
Sue Ball! A fearless original.
Robin Cloud! She'll charm and disarm.
Ivan Lenin! The greatest entertainer on Earth. [say in Russian accent]
Katina Corrao! Killing with kindness.
Burt Paseos! You can't go worng with Burt! (get it?!)
And me...or at least, someone who shares my DNA...
Forgive the hasty, linkless bios...but if I don't split I'll be late for band practice.
