Holy crap. It's been a while since we've seen each other and really talked. I mean like, really talked. I mean like, I'm always so interested in your perspective on things. It's a really interesting perspective you have. On things. Have you gained weight? I mean, no, I don't think you look fat. I think if anything I think that you used to look too skinny maybe. Anyway, forget I brought it up.
Me? Oh, things are cool. I know. I haven't written since the 17th anniversary of my dad dying. I've just, I don't know, been busy or something. I moved. If you can call transporting 7 burn infested boxes moving. And they weren't even boxes. They were crates. Actually they still are crates. And now the crates that used to hold the record collection I hope still works, are in one of the many cabinets I have in my new apartment. In fact, there are more cabinets in this apartment than in any apartment I have ever lived in. Probably you too. But even more intellectually confounding is the number of light switches that don't turn on a given light. There are definitely more light switches that don't turn on a given light in my new apartment than there are in the 213 square foot bead bug infested death trap of a tenement you call a home. Yeah, you should totally buy that apartment.
Anyway, I know you have to get back to work or get back to looking for work or get back to whatever it is you think you're doing. So, I'm gonna get to answering your questions about The Old Fashioned Ladies Club.
First, I know you heard about the amazingly inventive blurb that was published in Rockwood Music Hall's electronically distributed digital representation of a newsletter wherein they highlight all of the upcoming performances that they believe are going to be at least three times as good as any of the Casey Shea gigs that will never get highlighted in said electronically distributed digital representation of a newsletter. Even if they were at Rockwood. Anyway, below is an italicized rendition of that announcement about The OFLC.
Coming Wednesday nights to Rockwood Music Hall, a revisionist recipe on the classic variety show cocktail.

One part Vaudeville. One Special Guest. Dash Political Satire.
Directions:
Combine comedy and vaudeville in Old Fashioned glass and muddle.

Wow. I mean, like, wow. Whoever wrote that sure is creative. Kind of like whoever wrote a certain fifteen to twenty second segment of music that you heard when you were watching Bravo's latest contribution to the burgeoning experimental art-form known as "Reality TV" on Tuesday night. That's right kids. The Rich Girls classic, "You And What's His Name" was featured in the most recent episode of "Flipping Out." You can't believe how impressed you are. Sure beats having your music defaced by the like of "The Gates" that's for sure. Anyway, we're gonna make so much money off of this that I may never have to write to you again.
Oh, and speaking of new things I do that probably won't make me money either, it's time to get back to The Old Fashioned Ladies Club and tell you to come down, enjoy the show, and maybe even sit in and be a part of the show. A small part of the show that is. Let's just get that straight.
Anyway. Like I said, the debut OFLC is Wednesday August 18th.
The show starts at Midnight.
The theme for next weeks show is "On This Day..."
That means I've thought a little bit about the history of August 18th.
Birthdays. Historical Events. That kind of thing.
And speaking of music and August 18th.
We'll be playing songs from the Billboard Top Ten from August 18th, 1983.
In case you were sleeping or trapped in the throws a cocaine induced nightmare in the early 80's, the top ten songs in the greatest country in the history of ill informed anti-religious-freedom-debates on August 18th, 1983 were:
1. Every Breath You Take - The Police
2. Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This - Eurythmics
3. She Works Hard For The Money - Donna Summer
4. Maniac - Michael Sembello
5. Is There Something I Should Know - Duran Duran
6. Stand Back - Stevie Nicks
7. Flashdance... What A Feeling - Irene Cara
8. It's A Mistake - Men At Work
9. Never Gonna Let You Go - Sergio Mendes
10. (Keep Feeling) Fascination - The Human League
Holy crap! That's gonna be fun! Add in the first ever Old Fashioned Ladies Club audition segment featuring members of ________ and ________ along with the greatest display of yo-yo histrionics from the likes of _________ and you've got something to do on Wednesday night after all. And let's not forget a special guest that is not __________ ! Top it off with a certain celebrity guest appearance for a one-man-five-minute theatre and you've really really got something to do on Wednesday night after all! Oh, and there's more. But I have to go because I have a life. See you on Wednesday after you click this sentence and go to The OFLC Facebook page.
Mwah!
