we had a great time showing everyone how to veg out with the makey makey at screenland last night. the theater will be looking for a new location after next week. it was the first time a public exhibition of mondo beep was done indoors. usually we have to take it to the streets on first fridays.

at 6pm tomorrow night i will take a few things from the mondo beep collection to the screenland theater. i’ll be making electronic glitchy sounds, summoning daft punk-like noise, and inviting others in the lobby to join me before the short films start @ 7pm. screenland will be looking for a new home after may 17. thanks to bonnie and jason for everything.

our niece, georgia, graduated from UNL this weekend with a psychology degree. later that day we ate at village inn and made each other laugh. here’s one joke that georgia told:
Q: what’s red and smells like blue paint?
A: red paint.

years ago an old friend gave me this set of salt and pepper shakers that look like a man and woman from hawaii. i always wanted to do something like a puppet show with them… but i never knew exactly what it would be. i got tired of waiting for a good idea, and recorded this.

the fourth episode of postcards from home should be up next week, there’s just a little bit of of trimming, polishing, and embellishing that needs to happen first. click here for a preview of the show.

30 years ago i received my first may basket. it was during my stint as a sandwich maker at mighty melt (a deli that used to be in the bel aire shopping center in joplin, mo). my boss gave me a basket full of candy, and said “happy may day!” that had never happened to me before… or since.

yet another postcards from home show is in the works. if we all hang on, it will be here before you can say oscar for best supporting actor 1968.

i’m playing at homer’s tomorrow night with wailin’ wall. it will be a stripped down version of the group with only dan, griffin, and me this time. when we practiced last night i sat next to griffin’s daughter, nora, who was also playing a harmonica. this isn’t the first time i’ve played music next to a little kid.

the third installment of postcards from home is finished! yay! click here to listen. on this show we reveal who received the postcard from the last show, talk about postcards that we have received in the last few days, and finally we get around to talking about a postcard from greenfield, ia. (pictured above) if you would like to join the growing list of postcard recipients or if you want to send us a postcard that we’ll read in the future, email us at: djcedillo@earthlink.net

jenny & i recorded more material for two more postcards from home shows! calling it a show seems kind of funny, but it’s basically an audio series where we talk about a postcard and then mail it to somebody. more of our friends and relatives are listening to the series, so get on the list before we run out of postcards! here’s a preview of show #3.
