SHORT NOTICE SHOW! MC Frontalot performs a modest set of six or seven songs with live drum and bass accompaniment at C'Fizz, aka The Collymore, this weekend:

Saturday, April 2nd, 10:00 PM
18 Putnam btw. Downing & Grand
Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, New York
five bucks

Please attend.

Please also find a couple hundred dollars in an old shoe and use it to get a ticket to Seattle for PAX'05, where Front rocks the stage with full band on August 27th. Cheap expo registration evaporates soon.

There is a brand new song "in the can," and by that we mean finished. It is called "Oh, The Hilarity," and it features another beautiful beat by Baddd Spellah. Acquire it along with the rest of the Indie Pop Cares A Lot tsunami victims' benefit record, which will be available at the project's site by the weekend.

Also featured on the IPCAL album is Add, whose new CD Divider does not seem to surrender control of the loop play on Front's winamp. Nor should it.

Front apologizes to those who have written to him in recent years and been ignored. In some cases it was because Front is a dick, while in others the culprit was Front's spam filter. Front has rigged it so that any emails containing the word bandersnatch pass through unscathed. Please try again.

What is true? This is true! That MC Frontalot is playing the Penny Arcade Expo for the second year in a row. Want to go there and jump up and down and geek out and play video games and see Front do his whole mic-rocking routine? It is in the upper lefthand corner of the continental US, so maybe it is far away from you. It is far away from Front too! That is no excuse! Buy your ticket now—August 26th through 28th will sneak up on you otherwise.

Who will Front share the stage with in Bellevue? Optimus Rhyme, Minibosses, and MC Chris. It is about as close to a nerdcore extravaganza as you can get.

Have you caught Chris' tour? Front saw the Arlene's Grocery gig and can vouch for his onstage awesomeness. Many opportunities remain!

Front's new song is brewing. It is for a tsunami relief compilation and will not be very hilarious. Oh well!

Which dumbrella cartoonist did Front hang out with Friday night? Make sure you guess the right one. It is a trick question because the answer is: all of them!

John Allison makes scarygoround and talks funny, as if he were from somewhere far away. Probably New Zealand.

Jeff Rowland is a miscreant of the highest order, yet he took the time to thoughtfully inscribe this rhyme in Front's copy of the 2nd wigu book: "Well my name's Topato / and I'm here to say / dismay chardonnay / fillet cabernet / bombay faberge / melee Fay Raye / sashay." He seemed disappointed that MC Frontalot could not readily supply a rhyme for poison.

Rosie (I think that's his frat name) does funny animal comics. Cloudy (also more familiar an address than Front uses with him) does comics with one funny animal and one tragically crippled human. There are no humans in Mr. Bell's illustration repository. And Front's red robot hoody exposed him as a bit too much of a fan boy for Sam Brown to chat comfortably with.

And why were so many luminaries collected at one beer-drinking event? It was the birthday of mister r. stevens. Someone mentioned that he also makes some kind of web comic but it was not clear which.
