rant :: grrr

ok so i've been trying to figure this whole 'blog' thing out today - with the help of my sidekick scott - we were able to secure the domain http://www.achimericalplan.com/ - yay for us. now it's a matter of tricking this bitch out for the masses to enjoy. god i wish i would have paid better attention when i was a web page programmer - i don't remember shit for html anymore.

one word...

...wow! martha always seems to take my breath away. tonight was no exception. i have to say - if i weren't a gay man and i could give birth to babies - she'd be the person i'd want to have babies with! i met up with martha after the show - she signed my cd - in true jonathan fashion - i was a dork - thanked her for her music and called it a day. it's always those awkward situations when faced with celebrities that i feel like i'm 5 years old and facing my teacher with an assignment to be graded. my good friend ames captured the event on digital film. (pictured here)

as far as the rest of the night - joanna newsome - um - bjork with a harp - but not in a good bjork way. neko case - i could be a fan - if it weren't for her drunk former schoolmate beside me giving me a blow-by-blow - ok ok - so it was her birthday - and yeah - we all drink a little on our birthdays - but damn lady - i paid to hear neko sing - not the random nobody that used to know her.

beer - kielbasa - and ice cream sandwiches capped out the night. the rain came - but only for martha - which is kinda cool as ames pointed out - 'she's the stormy one' - but the clouds gave way to a pretty amazing night.

neko case at mccarren park

i'm heading to mccarren park pool in brooklyn for a concert tonight - martha wainwright (pictured here and who is infinitely more talented than her brother - yes that's right - rufus - the one and only - who i also love), joanna newsome, and neko case. taking along my friends ames and elizabeth. can't wait - loves me some martha - anyway - more on the outcome later - for now - gotta jet.

an introduction by me...

ok so i'm going to try it out - it seems like the thing to do - this whole 'blogging' thing - i mean what the hell - millions upon millions upon millions of people are doing it - why not me?

just a few things to get us started:

1. accurate spelling won't happen - and - most likely we'll be playing games with tons of bad grammar too
2. i'm not a writer and i have never ever ever claimed to being one
   
3. i use a lot of '-'s so deal
4. it's all nonsense - free flowing - no theme attached - so don't expect anything like that
5. things like punctuation and capitalization - those should be options - kinda like stopping for pedestrians or pissing with the seat up

some things you may find here: rants - raves - this - and occasionally - that. from there - we can go anywhere.

from the archives :: the 59th annual tony awards

oh what a night - and a fantastic night it was. i was honored to have an exclusive spot on the red carpet at the 59th annual tony awards. there i was - little ole me dressed to the nines and snapping photo after photo. they are posted in the gallery. celebrities out the wazoo - seen: dennis haysbert (of tv's '24'), james earl jones (aka. the voice of darth vader and mister verizon), chita rivera and bernadette peters (divas of broadway), tim currey (the sweet transvestite), hank azaria (of tv's 'the simpsons'), marcia cross (of tv's 'desperate housewives'), christina applegate, oh the list could go on and on - check out the gallery for the exclusive pics!

after the red carpet we were rushed across the street for the press party at the rainbow room in the nbc studios in rockefeller plaza. there we got to interview the winners and meet the rest of the press. seen: michael musto of the village voice. i'm sure there were more than a share of important people but the night is a blur!

big winners of the evening ::

doubt and monty python's spamalot taking tony for best play and musical.
la cage au faux winner of the tony for best revival.

again - check out the gallery - i will be adding as much information as i can as soon as i can! it's nearly 5am and it's way past my bedtime. talk soon - and enjoy!
