Normally, I post stuff when new things happen. Right now, literally nothing new has happened in the land of Snarky Puppy… but I just wanted to give a couple of quick shouts to some really cool shit I’ve experienced in the last week.

#1) Sitting second row behind the third base dugout at a Yankees game.

Noice.

My boss of sorts, the wonderful Marianne Bennett, hooked me and Maz and our buddy Hildegunn up with free seats. These seats also happened to come with an endless supply of gourmet food. Not too shabby. Want to know how that feels?

Maz on the lunch.

#2) My neighbor’s new dog, Fluffy. Pretty self-explanatory.

We match.

#3) John Ellis and Doublewide at Rose in Brooklyn. It just happened to be International Tuba Day, so you KNOW that Matt Perrine pulled out some stuff. Seriously, this is the coolest band on earth. My face hurt after the show from smiling the whole damn time. John Ellis – sax, Matt Perrine – sousaphone, Derek Philips – drums, Brian Coogan – organ, Alan Ferber – trombone.

TOOOOOOOOOOBA!!!

#4) Rediscovering this little ditty. My new favorite song.

So there you have it. Life is good.
