an old promo card of mine that paid homage to my "spent youth"
Just finished watching King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, an awesome documentary on grown men playing classic arcade games at the World Record level.

Friday night was Drawger-nite at the Staten Island Yankees! Well, not officially, but we made it that anyway! Zina, Nancy S. and Peter C. met up with me and some WSJ folks and friends and family for the ferry over and the game.
It was a picture -postcard kind of night and actually turned a bit cold for the first Friday night of the summer. The thin-skinned three mentioned above bailed early but I stayed til the bitter (Yanks lost) end and got to see my niece and nephew run the bases!
tickets, 10 clams
beers, 5 duckets

My wife Nancy gave birth to our first child, a baby girl named Sophia Anne, on Monday January 22. I could never hope to create a work of art as beautiful as she.

Had dinner with the wife and friends on Saturday at Carol's Cafe on Staten Island - the owner/chef is Carol Frazzetta, sister of Frank who removed one 'z' from their last name professionally.
I came home and was searching through my cable guide and came across "Painting With Fire" a documentary on Frank, that I had seen some time back - its running today on IFC and is well worth checking out.

wolfie on drums
I had previsously posted the lead singer here, but here's the rest of the gang in sketch form. I never got around to fully fleshing them out in time for Halloween.
These were inspired by the Groovie Goolies cartoon from the 70s that I only have a marginal memory of

Please do your self a favor and go here and view the video for "Samson" (I believe QuickTime 7 is required)
tip: make sure the MySpace audio player at the top right of the page is OFF before playing the video or you'll hear a cacaphony of 2 songs playing at once
A gorgeous girl, voice, song, video etc.
I am seeing her tomorrow night at Town Hall and could not be happier about it.
Oh - I forgot to mention that me 'n her are pals (not really but a guy can dream, can't he?)
