A friend of mine is thinking about starting up a personal chef business.

I don’t know about you, but if I didn’t have time to cook on a regular basis, having a chef come by and cook me food would sound pretty good.

Unless you have a significant other to make you dinner on a regular basis. I buy the groceries. He cooks the meal. But sometimes he beats me to the groceries and I bring wine.

VK = Trying to add value.

Anyway, this friend of mine is a good looking guy and I think the concept is particularly appealing to the “cougar” demographic.

He came up with this for a slogan: ‘While you’re out taking over your industry, I’m going to be sexy. All over your kitchen…’

Cougars? Tell me that doesn’t make your mouth water and I’ll call you a liiiiaaaar.

I played one of my favorite shows ever a couple Thursdays ago. Location: UConn’s Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts (Storrs, CT) Opener: Chris Canty Attendees: Approx. 200 Why one of favorite shows: The people that run that place are like family to me. The Jorgensen is a fantastic venue to play at. Sound = amazing.

We filmed and recorded the whole thing, so we’ll put some of those clips up in the next few weeks. The day itself was kind of nutso. I started out by visiting Rod’s “Connecting with the Arts” class (Rod is the Director of the Jorgensen). In the class were eight very cool students who are currently participating in a learning community centered around the arts. I played a couple of songs and we had some good dialogue going. Truly enjoyable experience. I should do that kind of thing more often. That was followed by a last-minute on-air performance on WHUS (UConn’s radio station). Brian and Bruce came along for that one and Brian broke out his acoustic for a guitar/vocal duo thang. Worked nicely me thinks. Thanks to Dave for letting us come on his show! And for the root beer yum.

As for the show itself. It was fun. :) A lot of fun. I knew it would be when someone (to remain anonymous) let one rip right before we started our set. Unable to mask my recognition of that noise, I cocked my head to the side, smirked and said “Really?”. People laughed.

Andy followed by promptly kicking off the opening riff to “Speak in Words.”

Back in Boston. Being lazy and reading Nora Roberts books. God. I love them.
