First time you, first time me

It's really been a slow news week in my little world. The strains of self-booking a tour are wearing me thin. I've got myself set up for a stressful couple of months here dealing with organizing a tour and a move over the ocean all at the same time. Oh yeah, I start playing shows in Sweden the day after I arrive which equals more travel coupled with some wicked jetlag. But, don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I'm taking it on, day by day, getting shit done.

On the lighter side, who remembers the Halloween dance scene in Karate Kid? It was on cable last night (Showtime free trial, nice) and I just got to thinking how ridiculous and perfect Daniel san's shower costume was. It kept him hidden from his rivals and allowed him that alone time he was seriously in need of with Ali. And, that chicken smashing eggs on people's heads? Only in the '80s! I mean, what? And ninthly, the Cobra Kai kids all dressing up the same as skeletons (complete with black Converse All-Stars) was killer. I love the way it mirrored the old school group of thugs wearing the same disguise that at the same time heightened their sense of bad-assness.

And did you know: 'Cruel Summer' by Bananarama (amazing song btw) is not included on the Karate Kid soundtrack. However, there is a Gang of Four song on it. Figure it out.
