Meryle tells me that Horace X, whom John Peel has described as “The Muppets on Meth”, are playing tonight at the Drake Hotel.
They’re supposed to put on an amazing show. Tickets are $12, doors open
at 8:30 and the show starts at 10 p.m.. I might show up, too.
…but in case you hadn’t, here’s the story.
I don’t meet the citizenship requirements nor the age requirements nor would I probably make the
weight or fitness requirements, but I’m a half-decent marksman and you
should see me kick ass on a flight simulator game.
In addition, I’m a pretty good entertainer, and you’ve got to admit that I look pretty sharp when sporting an accordion and a flight suit.
For your amusement:
Remember the story about the girl who turned me down and ended up with my lookalike?
Someone mentioned The Karate Kid earlier today, and now I’ve come up with the best line for her:
“You went for Ralph Macchio when you could’ve had Mr. Miyage.”
Thankfully Wendy appreciates my kung-fu.
(I mentioned this on IRC and someone was quick to reply “And then you could ‘wax off’ on her!” Internet people need help, man.)
Also happening this weekend: the Celebrate Toronto Street Festival. All kinds of stuff will be happening — check it out here.
<>My friend Meryle will perform one of her legendary burlesque numbers this Saturday (hmmm…that’s tomorrow already) at the Cadillac Lounge as part of the Tiki Tease show.
If you’re in Accordion City this weekend, you’d do well to catch this…
[ via del.icio.us ] While we’re on the topic of synths, here’s a web page that does a side-by-side comparison of Nena’s 99 Luftballons (the German version) and 99 Red Balloons (the English version).
Apparently the translation is more poetic than literal.
