Christina reminded me that the 20th anniversary of Andy Kaufman’s death is coming up on May 16.

And they’re having a show at the House of Blues on Sunset… “Andy Kaufman - Dead or Alive?” in hopes that if he is still alive, he’ll show up.

price : $50.00 - $250.00 *
date : Sun, May 16
door : 7:30pm, show : 8:00pm
genre : Comedy, Special Event, age : 18+

notes :: Andy stated that were he to fake his death, he would return 20 years later to the day. MAY 16TH, 2004 IS THAT DAY. Over one hundred personal ads will be taken out, across the country and abroad, reminding him of his words. Will he show? This historic celebration will include a special premiere showing, along with star appearances by Rodney Dangerfield, Caroline Rhea, Bob Odenkirk, Paul Rudd, Rich Voss, Jerry “the King” Lawler, Andy Dick and a rare performance by International singing sensation TONY CLIFTON and his CLIFTONES. Also “Man on the Moon” co-screenwriter Larry Karaszewski will be joined by Andy¹s closest companions: George Shapiro, Lynne Margulies, and Bob Zmuda .

Tickets $99.95. Special $250 VIP tickets include select seating & celebrity reception (hopefully with Andy). www.tonyclifton.net

I don’t think he’ll show up. But if I’m proven wrong on this one, I wouldn’t be too upset.

I’m sure it’ll be a good show nonetheless… anyone going?

[read the L.A. Weekly story here.]

We were boingboing-ed by the fabulous Xeni Jardin (who I met last weekend at a blogging.la get together at Cybele’s place, I also met some of the other blogging.la folks: 5000!, Caryn Coleman, Jay Bushman, Jeff Koga, Will Campbell, and Sean Bonner).

(”We” meaning professoreric’s Date-A-Doctor post, based on Shannon’s comment in his original post.)

Incidentally, I don’t think I ever mentioned it here, but I started writing at blogging.la (my stuff is at joz.blogging.la) back in late March (sometime during moving hell).

…many that are NSFW, please visit the Miketrix Joztrix on Monday, May 10.

(This concludes another jozjozjoz.com public service announcement.)

This is a “Happy Mom Day” to my mom, telepathically.

Both my parents are still in Taiwan. My Mom called me last night when I was out on my date with ProfessorEric (and company). I got to wish her a Happy Mother’s Day over the phone. I miss her.

Anyway, Happy Mother’s Day to my Mom and all the moms out there. It is one of the toughest, most thankless jobs out there (from what I can tell, anyway).

Thanks to my Mom for everything she gave to/for me and also for everything she gave UP for me.

Let’s just say that there was a *small* (ok, not so teeny-tiny) overflow of the sink catching the dirty laundry water.

Let’s just say that jozjozjoz might have been the one who loaded up the washer.

Let’s just say we were mostly done watching the Friends Finale (and accompanying Jay Leno special).

Let’s just say Yoshi was not thrilled when the dirty laundry water jozjozjoz mopped out the back door flowed back in.

If we just SAID all that, can we pretend that it never happpened? Please?

It did it again:

Oh where oh where are you going MySQL?!

Somehow our office became a nursery today.

Between the various visitors and guests in our office, at one point there were 5 ladies, 1 six-week old baby, a 5 (almost 6) year-old girl, a 3(?) year-old boy, and one annoyed BossMan standing in the same room.

Amidst all this ruckus, a cell phone begins to ring to the tune of the Lone Ranger theme. No one reaches to pick it up.

Co-worker L: (to a visitor in our office) Is that your cell phone ringing?

The Lone Ranger theme still blares loudly from the cell phone. There are many kids noises in the background.

Cell phone owner: Oh god, it’s just another one looking for a drug dealer.

Co-worker L: What?

Without missing a beat the cell phone owner reaches over, picks up the line, and blissfully the Lone Ranger arrives as his destination. The kids, however, have not and are they continue to scream like banshees.

Cell phone owner puts the phone to her ear and screeches loudly,“NO DROGAS AQUI!!! NO! There are no drugs here! I have no drugs! Do not call! I am not a drug dealer!” and hangs up.

It seems that her cell phone number was previously used by a drug dealer. That so sucks.

But she should look on the bright side… at least the previous person with that number wasn’t a hooker. I don’t even want to think about what the hell she’d scream into the phone in that case.

Miraculously, I got back online last night w/ no fix.

I blame the DSL or some sort of DNS problem. Regardless, I made sure to get the stupid patch installed.

But stupid sasser still sucks. seriously.

Now I am two full days behind in my work at home.

Yay.

And I haven’t had a chance to do any guest blogging at Mikey2’s.

It is 1:20 am on Sunday night/Monday morning.

I am sitting at my desk at Job #1 finishing up a project that was supposed to be due on Friday afternoon.

Friday was a very bad day because we had a number of “technology issues” in the office. The long & short of it was that I wasn’t able to get any of my work done because I was tending to other people’s problems.

Therefore, I am here on a Sunday night, finishing up work. And BossMan doesn’t believe in comp days, so I am just s.o.l. an entire evening.

I thought that since I quit Job #2 that I wouldn’t have to have anymore 12+ hour work days, but I was wrong. Between Job #1.5 (that was ok because we got out earlier than expected) and the “make-up” work at Job #1, I have been at one office or another for approx. 15 hours now.

I’ll be sitting back here at my desk in less than 7.5 hours.

Grrrrr.

Mikey2 went on vacation and left me in charge.

I think it’s time for the return of the Joztrix…

… unfortunately, Mikey2 wised up after last vacation (when he accidentally left me control to change the templates, and I went in and changed the images on his main page), so now I cannot go and change the header…

… but it still means I can openly solicit for racy photos of chicks in bikinis to post to his site (in the form of entries).

Whaddya think?
