I know this isn’t quite as awful as their “Oh look, boobies” ad, but…

Really? That’s their draw? “Play unnoticeably”?

Wait a minute, Michael Jackson is DEAD?!

Friday, September 11th, 2009

BBC News have this morning posted an article about some artists pulling out of the Michael Jackon tribute concert at Schoenbrunn castle that contains a couple of choice quotes in it.

Representatives for Mary J Blige, Chris Brown and Natalie Cole said neither of the three would be at the event on 26 September at Schoenbrunn castle.

“The star is Michael Jackson – it’s not about name dropping and who else will be there,” producer Georg Kindel said.

I don’t think Michael will be able to make it either, Georg. He’s dead, you see.

“It seems that there is a lot of confusion regarding the confirmed talent for the tribute – we are rechecking and confirming each artist personally,” Kindel said.

So you could say that you’re making a list, and you’re checking it twice.

“I’m sure the show is going to be fantastic and I’m looking forward to seeing you there” – Katherine Jackson

Oh dear, I hadn’t planned on going. Katherine will be so disappointed.

Okay, I’ve had my fun.

I’m On a Train

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

It’s late and I’m currently in the top bunk of the Antrak Starlight North to Seattle. We left at 10.15 this morning and we arrive on Thursday evening. And then on Fridqy comes PAX, easily the best games convention in the US. The highlight of my gaming social calendar.

Joining me is Michelle Osorio, who’ll be entering the Rock Band tournament along with friends Andy and Adam to form the greatest band of all time – the Paxstreet Boys.

Chief concern right now is making sure I dot fall out of this bunk. I’m sleepy and eager to get to Seattle.
