Unchained!
My head is pounding and my ears are ringing after an amazing night of Van Halen at the Garden. Typing out just why last night was so important to my inner child would take too long, and I'm not even sure I can fully relate to you, dear reader, how much I love Van Halen and David Lee Roth. My friends Eric and Josh were in the FRONT ROW and a DVD was being filmed so, yeah, my night must pale in comparison to theirs. Regardless, the event will live forever in my memory as a truly momentous occasion. I kid you not, I got teary-eyed twice and choked up today when re-telling of the teary-eyed moments.

Too bad I don't still have the David Lee Roth poster that I kissed every night before bed; Christian's been on the road for much of May!
Oh Boy! Tonight's the Night!
I'm counting down to Family Hour in Ochi's Lounge and the premiere of Last Comic Standing on NBC tonight. Keep an eye out for Christian rock duo and latest Ballyhoo Promotions client God's Pottery.
Update: The NY Daily News previewed Last Comic Standing and gave God's Pottery a shout out! Check out God's Pottery online at www.godspottery.com.

I have butterflies on their behalf. I can only imagine how they must be feeling!
Do you want to drink the whole bottle of pinot grigio? Go to the fridge.
I went to Ochi's Lounge to hear Bob Powers read from his new book You Are a Miserable Excuse for a Super Hero @ Liam McEneaney's "Writings with Music" show. It was a great reading and funny show, but lordy the book. It's part one in the "Just Make a Choice!" book series. Bob let me skim through the galley which lived up to my to my nerdy needs of tough choices, graphic illustrations and the bitter prose that rings too true to this now 30-something who used to love "Choose Your Own Adventure", and, in fact, still has one or two of her old originals.

Congrats to my Freestyle Love Supreme pals who got nominated for THIRTEEN Tonys for "In the Heights"! THIRTEEN! I'll be seeing them in a couple of weeks, if not sooner, and lots and lots in July. You can, too, when they're at Comix. First chance is June 12th but buy your tickets now because these boys sell out.

Twittering
A long, long while ago I set up a Twitter account. I can't for the life of me remember what or how I signed up. Since I never really used it, just made a new account which you can track here if you so choose: https://twitter.com/kambri.
This is our 3rd spring in this apartment and every year, a mama bird builds a nest in a pipe underneath our kitchen window. Every time I turn on the water or slam a cabinet the little babies wake up chirping for food. The mama bird spends every waking minute flying back and forth with food for them. How exhausting! I threw some bread out and made it land on our A/C unit, but honestly I think she's more discriminating than, say, a pigeon. I just wish there was a way I could maneuver a bowl of seeds out there for her. She's really fascinating to watch. Bird watching = I'm officially old, right? Or is it my chronic lower back pain and lack of any desire whatsoever to watch The Hills or Gossip Girl?
Yesterday, I wrote My Jailed Deaf Dad, sent him $25, worked out at the gym (WTF, right?!), caught up on my DVR tapings which included seeing Craig Baldo (comedian and DJ at my and Finny's wedding) on Conan O'Brien who also gave Comix a shout out. I've decided to stay in again today and try to get back on the writing saddle. It's cold and rainy out so it's not a hard choice to make. So far, I've only updated a few broken links on my press pages and updated other random websites. Procrastinating with other work again.

It could be worse, I could give in to temptation to play GTA4 on our Playstation. The pull is strong (it's set in NYC and the Beer Garden in Queens is included!) but I'm resisting so far.
