A rare Q&A with yours truly.

The Franchise King Blog: About George Nemeth’s Brewed Fresh Daily Blog

Posting this mostly because I read Chris Butler’s (formerly of The Waitresses, currently of Half Cleveland) blog:

Inside under the swirling stars and milky way ceiling, Chrissie and Friends performed in a benefit for this illustrious and magnificent theatre. The friends included such notable Akron bands as the Diffi-cult, The Bizarros, Half Cleveland (formed from members of Tin Huey, The Waitresses, and Chi-Pig) as well as The Numbers Band (38 years old and still going strong)… It was an evening to remember — all the great music that came out of this town. Some that took wing and flew around the world, while other music stayed here and kept us all coming back to the bars and the clubs every weekend. Also memorable was the sight of Chrissie in her PETA tee shirt, giving the old silver wolf of a mayor a smack on the cheek. (The mayor’s concept of casual concert wear was about as far from cool as one could get. At least he didn’t wear a tie!)

Also spotted in the crowd and not wearing a suit and tie — city councilman Marco Summerville. David Giffels, on stage leading The Diffi-Cult, pointed toward a seat in the front and announced “the legendary Jane Scott!” She was the Plain Dealer’s rock critic who looked older than the hills way back in the 60s!

Worked with JMZ for several hours on the new WLST powered by Wordpress. She’s still working thru some kinks, but it’s coming along nicely.

If you hadn’t noticed, Terra Milo’s doing an excellent job covering sustainability matters:

In the search for alternative fuels, ethanol creates a lot of discussion about its potential to generate cleaner, renewable fuel for cars. This is great. The discussion gets us moving in the right direction. However, using alternative fuel should not mean higher food prices, crop soil destruction, and forest clear cutting (to make more land to grow corn). A good alternative to using fresh corn for ethanol is to use cooking grease, and turn it into some form of biodiesel. Alternative fuel entrepreneurs, a.k.a. hippies, have been using grease in their cars for decades.

Another solution to the renewable fuel puzzle may be sugar cane…
