The Slip and Slide of Moral Decay

Hey folks.

As many of you know, Annie and I are looking for jobs. Well, in between jobs, we’re doing things to help supplement our income (e.g. freelance work, hosting trivia, begging for change, writing for the City Paper - although I’ll keep doing that, etc).

In addition to those aspects of our glamorous lives, we’re now working with a company that helps podcasters like Annie and I find sponsors. But, we need your help to do it.

Please fill out our audience survey!

Just click on the link above and answer a VERY BRIEF survey (It should only take about 15 seconds. Tops. Not like the $100 survey that ACW sabotaged - which I love, by the way…) for us.

It’ll enable us to tell advertisers who we are and who our listeners are (demographically speaking, that is…it’s completely anonymous) so that we can get some Ad $$$ into our pockets and can keep buying our weekly $2.99 rotissirie chicken on Sundays from Harris Teeter. And solid gold grills, yo. Annie’s grill be slammin’, y’all.

We think you’re ever so smart and attractive.

Thanks,
-Jay

Hey folks!

Looking for something to do Wednesday night?

Chucktown is about to get a faceplant on the improv scene with the arrival of the newest Theatre 99 group - THE SOFA KINGS!

It’s the first time a Charleston-based group has performed the Chicago Style long form Improvization, The Harold.

Come celebrate March Fool’s Day with us!

It’s just $5. You can’t even get good crack for $5 anymore - unless you see me after the show…

Please forward this on to your friends and family. If you do, Bill Gates will pay you $1,000 for each email address you send it to, the Nigerian Embassy will place $10,000,000 in your bank account, and you will recieve a one year supply of Viagara!

Hi.

I’m 32.

And I’m a Bohemian.

Not quite sure how it happened. One day I’m a guy with years of marketing and pr experience under my belt, managing NASCAR sponsorships, securing articles in the AJC (That’s the Atlanta Journal Constitution, y’all), and getting clients booked on the History Channel, and wearing a tie (when I had to). Now I write a weekly column for the local alternative newspaper, play in battle of the band contests, perform in three improv comedy groups (by the way, check out The Sofa Kings site - we debut next Wednesday!), and host a trivia game at a local bar each week.

It’s a pretty great lifestyle, but now I know why Sienna Miller and all the other Bohos are so skinny. Well, Sienna’s skinny cuz she’s a celeb, and you’ve got to be able to stab someone with your collarbones before you can be somebody. But the real bohos and hippies are skinny cuz they po people, people. The natural life is a life of leisure and fun and wondering if the lights are gonna stay on this month.

Some of these gigs pay money. Others don’t. Yet.

But I’m putting my tie back on (figuratively speaking, that is), and using my marketing prowess to make this life pay for itself.

Would life be so bad if it consisted of hosting a few trivia nights, doing a little writing about whatever I felt like, and rocking the occasional stage?

I’m still not sure, but I think it could be pretty cool.

I’m still trying like the dickens to get a “real” job, but it’s slow goings. So, in the meantime, I’ll play at being artsy fartsy with an edge. A poser bohemian. A capitalist Hippie.

Anyone have a birthday party that needs a magician? I’ll start brushing up on my card tricks now.

Peace.
