Happy Rocktober 2007!!

I would just like to take a quick moment here to wish everyone a very happy Rocktober.

Yes, kids, it is that time of year again-- the time of year when the leaves turn hues of yellow and brown, when Mother Earth blesses us with her sweet harvest and children of all ages from around the world don KISS face-paint while moms, dads, same sex life partners, babby daddies and stoner cousins teach them HOW TO ROCK!!!!!

Rocktober has no figureheads. Narry a Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, Turkey Made from A Tracing Of Your Hand, St. Patrick or Great Pumpkin to be found. Why is this? Because Rocktober comes from you. It is about you not being a square from Deleware, wearing clean underwear and throwing your hands in the air as if you had not a care in the world. It is about being caught up in a mosh. It is about passing the dutchie-- on the left hand or right hand side, it doesn't really matter. It's about getting the band back together for just one more show. It's about practcing your scratching technique for hours on end and then making it look simple during a show.

Roctober is about Mandatory Metallica Monday, Two For Tuesday, No-Repeat Wedneday, All Request Thursday and The Friday Top Five At Five. It is the All 80's Request Lunch Hour, the All Old School Weekend and the Top 1000 Oldies Memorial Day Weekend Countdown. Rocktober is about watching "This Is Spinal Tap" for the millionth time and still laughing. It is about latching on to a band early in their career and then complaining about the new fans who come along once they sell out to The Man.

Speaking of The Man-- Rocktober is about sticking it to The Man while sucking up to his corporate teets.

Keep on rockin' in the free world
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane.
We will rock you.
Rock n' Roll is alive (and it lives in Minneapolis)
You can't stop the rock.


Happy Rocktober, Everyone!

Much Ado About Nothing

Heya cabbage! I hope you are having a rockin' good time on the playa. I've got no news to report.

Um.......

Jessica won HOH and nominated Zack The Boring Jock and Amber The Cry Baby Xtian for eviction. Eric won the power of veto and decided not to use it. Oh, and Eric and Jessica have been smoochin'.

The Butterscotch Stallion tried to kill himself via pills and wrist slashing and was taken to the emergency room at St. John's in Santa Monica, located in the Historic Cancer District. You may also remember it as the place i was taken after I was hit by a car; a $600.00 ambulence ride for something that was three blocks away.

Also, they finally announced they are officially closing Connect down -- it will be a done deal by march of next year.

I hope you are having a fantastic time. Stay Hydrated! I miss you very much. come home soon! XXOOO

Up Too Late

..just like usual when you are not here.

The Internets tell me some yahoos tried to burn down The Man a wee bit early. Since I didn't get a call to bail you out of jail, I
am assuming it wasn't you.

Hope u are having a blast. I miss u tons. Come home soon. STAY HYDRATED!

XXOO,

Slim Hurly

P.S. No update yesterday becuase I was too busy...wait for it..Pushing Releases. And today we launched TV in the UK, which was also a ton of work and involved a ton of Release Pushing.

That's the gist!
