South Dakota has a stunning aray of potential sights, for instance Mt. Rushmore, the Crazyhorse Memorial, Bear Country, the Badlands, Wall Drug and Old MacDonalds Farm which has pig races every hour! Quite a place.

Not like you wouldn’t know where you were or something. I’m just saying you should, uh, go there too. shit.

I think Casper is in South Dakota. I am not from there. I just know. It is bee-yoo-tea-ful there. You should go.

Hey Michael. Great site. Your blog is seriously so much fun! I laugh my @$$ off everytime I read it! LOL! A/S/L?

Moving along, Salt Lake Cityans (is that a word, LOL, BRB…)
Yeah, so SLC-ians sure sound stupid. I would not want to have to go up against a crowd that worships Joseph Smith Jr. and believes in having more than one wife. Actually, that’d be totally awesome! More action for me!! Man, seriously, wouldn’t that be awesome? Like, having more than one wife. Oh my gosh, could you imagine? It’d be so sweet to, like, bang a different chick each night. Oh my gosh, seriously. Oh my gosh, that’s like, a dream come true. Dude, honestly!

Anyways, I gotta go. This is so much fun, but in all seriousness, SLC sucks and you are hilarious. I just love this new Internet thing, though. Isn’t it so fun!

Sincerely,
Ruth Buzzi and Le Petomane

A little late in commenting, just found the “site”, but thanks a bunch for the show. I rushed right from a grooling 10 hour shift on my bike to come see. The place was packed and I cried a little. One of you took a picture of me and I went home happy. I wish you all had stayed longer for drinks. What bar did you actually head to, I wonder? (Peanuts and all)

Yeah the pop of SLC is small because the city is small. But to get the true sense of the city, you have to add in the population of the surrounding towns (N Salt Lake, S Salt Lake, Magna, Sandy, West Valley CIty, Bountiful, Layton, etc.)

did you check the false bottom on that can of shaving foam to see if he might have been smuggling dinosaur DNA out of Jurassic Park? just a thought…

Renee-

I must say, this is the first time I agree with you. It’s so true; who pays to heckle unless you’re a moron.

People are morons, as a part-time moron myself, I apologize Michael.

I just watched “The World’s Fastest Indian” with Anthony Hopkins in it. It took place partially in Utah. Yeah, I’ve never been to Utah.

what kind of camera do you use? you take shitty/nice pictures.

Fun fact: in Utah, there’s a law that makes it a felony to mention Cat Power in public.

Wow. What a surreal experience Michael. I’ll never understand why people who obviously are “in” to you (why take the time and money to see someone if you’re not?) act like complete and utter morons when in your presence. In any case, your “snapping” is more than justifiable. Yelling during the show (for whatever reason) or insulting insane remarks and gifts (?) would put anyone into a funk.

I’ve met you in Chicago, and will go down on record as saying you are a sweet, cordial, accomodating fellow. Anyone who says otherwise is nothing but a bucket of turds.

And speaking of buckets of turds, George Bush DEFINITELY has no empathy.

I am really glad that you gave the bearded guy shit, to be honest, because I know him personally, and he is Lord Of The Douchebags. When he showed me that he was going to give it to you, I had a very similar “what the fuck” reaction to him. He’s sort of a local celebrity, for what exactly I don’t know, so it was nice to see him get wit-clobbered. The best part was when he talked about how you were a dick to him, and then I saw him like five minutes later telling you that you were a god to him. AWESOME I TELL YOU.

first we were going to go to san francisco for vacation. but california is real far away. so we were going to go to the grand canyon because it’s title hinted at something worth seeing, something impressive. plus, we would be in denver for a certain show at the Bluebird. but then the weather men of america told us that it was nearing a jillion degrees in the southwest. a jillion. degrees. so we set our eyes on chicago. and the car broke down halfway there. the country inn in grinnell iowa has a very pleasent staff. pool could have been cooler though.

aww, Showbloat (from the “grotesque sums of meat”) I’m so sorry you had to go through that. i say shake the dust off your comedic sandals from SLC and move on. they’re simply not worthy! this was a very interesting tour diary entry tho’…more, more! on the other hand, you definitely held your own with your interview with Jesse Thorn (how is he America’s Radio Sweetheart? he’s so bizarre…poor guy, i think he’s suffering from radio burnout…some of his questions seemed too much into industry-mechanics blather) and I love how you kept using the word “arc”. all that said, i find that drinking lemonade or some acidic (not Hassidic) fruity drink helps out with cow overdose.

p.s. you should be impressed with your own resume…
