BIG YOU ROCKS to Nils Pickert. He's embracing the fact that his 5-year-old son loves to wear women's clothes (nail polish too), and wears a skirt while walking around town with his son. Some feel this is wrong, that he's sending a bad message about what a boy should be wearing. To those people, Nils doesn't care. If that's what his son wants to wear, he's not hurting anyone. Leave the boy alone. I agree if it feels good, and it's not hurting anyone else.. Go For It! Life is too short!
If you have ever been to a Dave Matthews show, then you have noticed violin player Boyd Tinsley. He jams like no other violin player I have seen! Boyd has a new project out this week...it is an indie film called Faces in the Mirror.
Faces in the Mirror will be available online starting August 31!
Out of Bounds Comedy Festival is underway through Labor Day Weekend! It is a great way to see some great sketch/improv/stand up acts from around the country!
If you can only see one show...may I suggest, "Beer Shark Mice." They will be performing Sunday night at 9pm at the Scottish Rite Theater. Here is a little on the group and ticket info too!
Joining the group in Austin is Joel Murray. You know him as Freddy Rumsen on Mad Men, and Pete Cavanaugh on Dharma and Greg back in the day. He is also Bill Murray's younger brother!
Here is my chat with Joel Murray...where he shares a fun story about why he is not in Caddyshack with his brothers.
Another great show is Adsit and Lutz! Maybe you watch them on 30 Rock? They are performing Saturday and Sunday Night!

Carolina Liar's new album was released on the band's own Liar label, 'Wild Blessed Freedom' ... Chad Wolf- "This whole album is extremely personal to me; it's really my whole life of the last two or three years. In a lot of ways, it feels like we're starting from scratch now, and there's a real feeling of freedom in that," Wolf concludes. "We're on our own, and like any new adventure, it's something that's both daunting and exciting. We're looking forward to the journey."
Their journey takes them to San Antonio on Saturday September 8th at theGreen Room! Go on a short road trip and check them out!
