Livin' On The Edge

Some explanation may be in order here.
Many of you have probably now received Hugo's 2009 CD (actually double CD). It was necessary that he make this (despite the Hugota CD sent in his absence by Jen, his neighbors, someone bored, etc) in order to be in the 2010 club.
So, there are some 2009ers who are not in the 2010 club that got these CDs, and some 2010ers who did not get them - because it is the last CD from 2009. Eh, if Adam can send out July in September or whatever, then Hugo can send out...actually I think Hugo's month kept changing a

Let's compare the faux-Hugo CD Hugota and the proper Hugo CDs, Livin' on the Edge and small figures in a vast expanse, shall we?Hugo's CD have great cover art, including pictures of penguins, mountains, waterfalls, and a guy with a really nice back. Hugota's cover art is maybe too clever?
Hugo's CD has a vast assortment of styles and genres and eras. Hugota has a vast assortment of styles and genres and eras. And also has the song Patron Tequila which is sort of hard to argue with. But ultimately Hugo's real CDs are actually made BY Hugo, so I guess they win on a technicality.

A side note - Ushuaia is the southern but of Argentina, sort of like the Yukon of South America. There is a music festival down there, and the wanted to use the Brooklyn Phil. I spent a few weeks of my life trying to come up with a budget for this, only to find out they really had no money to give us. Ho to the HUM.

Okay - the first CD of 2010 is coming soon! John is finalizing it RIGHT NOW!!!!!

2010 CD Club Has Begun!!!!!!!

Friends, Romans, Dan and Donnie -

It is a new year and with it new people have joined the club!!!
This year Christian S. (officially) joins the club, and I also excited to introduce Lynn F. to the group. I know none of you know who Lynn is...she is a quiet wallflower of a dainty princess, who listens I believe to a lot of Wilson Phillips. Please, everyone, be nice to her.

A few people have also left the club. Paul Wag2itz, one of the original members, felt it was time to move on. And Signe B., the only one of us with a child (Cara, having Matt as a roommate is NOT like having a child, despite your complaints) , has decided that time constraints don't allow her to spend the time necessary on this blog.

Finally, Hugo is IN, pending the arrival of his 2009 CD sometime soon - he is insistent this will happen, and I am hoping to resolve the situation. I am under the impression that Jen is out though Hugo was also the official mouthpiece for the two of them so I really have no idea....

John and I had a great time in Hong Kong. Pictures on facebook.
