In LA This Saturday

It's true, Synthetic Division is heading to L.A. My longtime pal, Josh, whom I wrote about in My Pet Virus, is filling in for Marshall, the keyman for Synthetic Division. Today I was being pretentious and writing at a coffee shop when Gwenn called. "Hey, I have a...

Synthetic Division “National” Tour

OK, so it's not really a national tour. It doesn't span 2 cities- Los Angeles and a show in Richmond- and I won't be traveling in a van for the tour: I'll be flying out using Reward Miles. Oh, and the shows are one month apart. But hey, cut me some slack, that's how...

My Valentines

Happy Belated Valentine's Day! It's somewhat of an empty salutation, because Gwenn and I don't really celebrate the occasion. When we first started dating, we opted to celebrate President's Day instead, because it falls around the same time and it was much easier to...

Synthetic Division in Graphic Novel

Bella Morte & Big Test

This week I'm getting an HIV test. For real! Not because I'm unsure about my status, it's just a quick and easy way to make $20. Got a letter from Dr. Greg about the local ASO running a clinical trial for a new 10 second HIV test. So they want positoids to take it, to...

The Blog’s Too Big Without You

On Thursday I saw The Police in concert in Philadelphia. I was amongst 25,000 of the whitest white people I've ever seen in my life. Most everyone had a beer in their hand, a smile on their face and a baseball cap on their head. And usually when I see a 45 year-old...
