Tim Young presents:

HOW TO WRITE A ROB THOMAS SONG:

1) choose any generic topic of human interest

2) make the beginning of the song interesting then just give up

3) integrate a gospel choir into as much of the song as possible paying no attention to good taste or appropriateness

4) generally suck and spend your day remniscing about that time you did a song with Santana.

Cast of AMERICAN IDIOT to Record Single of Green Day's "21 Guns"

I read about this earlier today via John Gallgher Jr.’s twitter and I’m extremely excited, especially for the video. This will be awesome PR for the show’s transfer to Broadway. More from Playbill.com.

green day american idiot theatre

The Dakota circa 1890.

What strikes me most about this picture is how much urban development happened in the subsequent 60 years or so. By the 1950s, New York as we know it was starting to take shape. In this picture, the UWS looks downright desolate.

I love this picture. The UWS was so desolate. Does anyone know of any sites that have more pictures of the UWS before it became what it is today?

It’s official. It’s really happening. YES.

But really…? They’re even PONDERING replacing Tony Vincent? He’s the only one in the cast should NOT be replaced. I think the rest, though they rocked it in Berkeley, could probably be replaced.

american idiot green day theatre fuck yeah

the egg whites and one egg together!

the mix & stuff.

Um, so the flour got everywhere.

AND....

Ta-dah!

Pretty.

So, last night I waited outside of Magnolia and watched one of the bakers ice a cake and today it inspired me to make cupcakes. I went to William Sonoma today and bought Sprinkles cupcakes mix and went to work tonight after an hour at the gym. Last time I made cupcakes, it was Easter… and it was tragic. But tonight I went and bought the proper ingredients (when they say confectioner sugar, they actual mean it apparently!), figured out what the difference between egg whites and eggs were, and they came out really well! They look pretty too. I can’t ice as well as the baker at Magnolia (I used this video as a tutorial), but in time… who knows. (Hah, right.)

i baked cupcakes sprinkles

I get by with a little help from my friends.

Today I smiled at most everyone, and I said “please” and “thank you” more than usual (I say it almost compulsively as it is), and [tried] to mean it.

Before Amy and I saw Shrek last night, we met at Magnolia Bakery (Rockefeller Center) for a pre-show treat. While Amy was paying, someone either mistakenly took her debit card, or they stole it. She was completely calm, and handled it with grace. We walked out after talking to a manager and I told her flat out that I was impressed, and had it been me that I would’ve been screaming about 10 minutes ago. She just smiled and said it wasn’t their fault. She also kept her cool at Anthropologie when she didn’t have her credit card with her and they wouldn’t accept her return without it. Then this morning, when I usually say nothing to my neighbors in the elevator, my house guest from the night before, walked into the elevator with me and greeted the people already inside saying, “Good morning!”

I have a short temper and I know it, and I yell, a lot. The last twenty four hours are a subtle hint that maybe I should calm down in the future and not loose my shit all the time.

I’m working on it.

HAHA. Texans are dumb.
