Danny will be attending tonight's battle between the KU Jayhawks and Texas Longhorns in Austin, along with the band's favorite Texas Ranger. And before boarding the Silver Dillo(?), "yes", that was Paola Kansas transplant Carey eating Texas barbecue with Texas-style rubs and seasonings at Iron Works BBQ this afternoon. Barbecue blasphemy some from the Sunflower State might say. At any rate, Tool's drummer will return to L.A. tomorrow, so that possibly the 'process' can begin in earnest on Wednesday...

As I mentioned in the January newsletter, in honor of PRESIDENTS' DAY (not to mention Great Lent and Flag Day in Canada) the MONDAY NIGHT JAMMMZ on FEBRUARY 15th will include Grill Master Mike's famous barbecue in the back parking lot/smoking area. Those of you who plan on attending might want to bring something so as to cover all 491 inches of JZ's Santa Fe Char-Broiler. If John remembers to bring my gold Coleman, I'll provide the water and Pepsi so precious to Jamie and others. We hope to see you there.

"In this war against complacency and the mundane, we the artists/insane must strive to re-invent, to shadowbox our paranoia, and to adapt to inevitable change while still maintaining a balanced diet. Multi tasking is at the very core of our assault. That is why we are very pleased to unveil a new level of combined art and utility during this Spring Campaign. Along with the comedic, visual, and melodic arsenal, we will also be introducing the latest form of whole body entertainment. By inserting a high fiber brown note to the equation, we will achieve not only an elevated sense of the theatrical, but also provide a non chemical, bio degradable, free range sonic digestif. Forward movement will be achieved. Bon Apetit'!!"
Major Douche,
Battalion Commander.

For those of you who have ordered copies of "THE WICKEDEST BOOKS IN THE WORLD: CONFESSIONS OF AN ALEISTER CROWLEY BIBLIOPHILE" on www.dannycarey.org , as of this afternoon (Monday, January 25), ALL ORDERS HAVE BEEN SHIPPED via priority mail (with many orders having been shipped last week and earlier). Although the first 156 copies containing the leaf removed from a 1922 British first edition of Crowley's "The Diary of a Drug Fiend" have been purchased, there are still plenty of copies available that are individually NUMBERED and SIGNED by the author and by DANNY CAREY (who wrote the book's foreword, and whose bibliophilic exploits are featured throughout, along with glossy photographs of certain Crowley rarities from his collection). Danny and I are also planning to have a book launching party at the SilverLake Cha Cha Lounge (L.A.) sometime in February (TBA). For the occasion we'll be inscribing copies purchased, and mixing up cocktails taken from drink recipes printed in some of Crowley's more obscure works. For anyone who might be having problems ordering the book, once you are in the store on www.dannycarey.org, simply click on "MEDIA" for the book's description and an order form. Danny and I would like to thank those who have already ordered a copy, and look forward to seeing those who attend the upcoming launch at the Cha Cha Lounge (again, TBA).

The Monday Night JAMMMZ at THE BAKED POTATO in STUDIO CITY continues to attract great local musicians. Bring an instrument (or appetite) and join in on the fun with JZ and the boys. Last week, during the second set, Rynne Stump showed her vocal abilities by singing a few tunes from Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs", with Danny pounding away on the drums. The 'tator' is located at 3787 Cahuenga Blvd., West, Studio City, Calif. 91604... right across the street from the Carl's Jr.
