In my quest to continue my lame lifestyle, there is little to report. A dinner here some bands there. In fact, last weekend I saw Camera Obscura, Ra Ra Riot and The End of the World. All three bands were solid, but at the end of the day I enjoy partying and that is what I do best. For now I'm going to stick to keeping you informed on events like these:

Tonight Lookout Records cornerstone artists Frank Portman of influential punk band The Mr. T Experience will be appearing this evening at Coliseum Books on 42nd between 5th and 6th. He'll be reading from his critically acclaimed new novel King Dork and performing songs from the MTX catalog.

King Dork is in its 5th pressing since its release in April and movie rights are being negotiated now.

Also, this was lifted from Cara's C and C Blog Factory:
