SomaCow

SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you this week by Etan on Tech. In a rapidly dissolving world of “Old Media” he is staying relevant and engaging his audience every day, and we salute him for that. If you are local, come meet Etan (and us, and a bunch of neat twitterfolk) at Scruffy Murphy’s on Thursday, Feb 19,2009. It’ll be dope!

We talked quite a bit about our sushi charitywater.org tweetup, dubbed the Unofficial Twestival. For those of you that do not use Twitter, basically a bunch of short-winded creative-types got together and drank and ate. It’s what humans do best. Mickey and I had a blast meeting cool people, and J is more than a little miffed that he “wasn’t invited”. Since I have now spent two whole paragraphs vaguely referring to our NEXT meetup, let’s see what he Eeyores about next week.

So, we talked about our new Twitter friends (seriously, Peakarts.com, people), and took a call from Etan as he boarded a flight to stand best man for his brother in Atlanta. By the end of our show, He had messaged that Atlanta lost their luggage. Like, the whole plane? What the hell is going on these days with the airlines? No cash, no maintenance, shoddy customer service, paying for baggage that they then lose… If you aren’t leaping continents, next time, consider driving. I did the math, and if Etan spent 1 hour in traffic to the airport, 1 hour getting through baggage claim, 30 minutes taxiing, 2 hours flying (cause the damned airlines ALWAYS fly slow now), 1 hour claiming false-baggage, 1 hour standing in line trying to find out why his stuff was lost, and then 1 hour assumed getting from the airport to where he was heading?

That’s like 47 hours. It only takes 8 to drive to Hotlanta from Jamlando. Look it up, money.

We also enjoy the company of Iceman in studio. He’s overcome with our twitter nerdocity, and saves his chances for ever getting laid by a member of the opposite sex by remaining quiet for now.

If anyone has been to the Ravenous Pig, do let me know more, would you? Thanks!

SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you in this hour by Rock for Hunger – It’s a great cause, a great concert, and we hope you will avail yourselves of it.

In this hour, we discussed charity, kung fu, and the Chinee Zodiac. Listen, enjoy, and I will have some information on how you can help SomaCow make a whizbang holiday for some lucky family.

In the meantime, I would like to provide you with your horoscope, Neat-Chi Long Style!

There are 4 elements in Chinee Zodiac -

Sizzly – People born under this sign are universally hot to trot, and frequently suffer from fever blisters, itchy bits, and multiple offspring. Their rhetoric is fiery, but quickly runs out of substance and must be added to keep the action going. Ross is very sizzly.

Dippy – Folks governed by this sign are remarkably tasty, creamy, and smooth. They have rich, buttery voices, deep, darkened, honeyed features, and are essentially just waiting to accept what you have to say, provided they can cover it with their own ideas and somewhat sickly-sweet take. J is so Dippy, it’s whack.

Choppy – These people are just plain to the QUICK, yo. Without regard for life or limb, they attack the problem head on, or rather, sidelong, as they wick away layer after layer in a clatter of metal and spark and sinew. Sure, some people get hurt, and yeah, not every bit that lies now asunder was necessarily ready to be cooked. But the F^%$ing thing is CHOPPED. Mickey is known to wield a knife or three, when TCTHID lets him.

Skewery – These people are perfect in every way. Plump, succulent, ready for consumption. All they require, sadly, is a means of deployment. A spine, if you will. They must have the assistance of a strong sliver of wood to uphold their edicts, scribe their thoughts, and carry them to bed for scratchies at night. I have no idea who resides under this element. Maybe Jen knows.

I will be back with a blog for the 12 signs, as soon as we have 12 listeners. HA!

Hey – Check out Greg Rollet’s page – Dude has some real sense, especially when it comes to New Media and getting your band noticed in an ever wider talent stream!

Also, feel free to comment here with your Kung Fu must sees – I will be collecting the top 10 as listed by you, so, get to, Yu.

If you are only going to do one good thing in your life, let us make a strong pleas that that one thing be helping out a worthy cause like Rock For Hunger.
