Today I did something exhilarating--I traveled to the future! Because I wanted to get a headstart on all of the bloggers across the world, I contacted an old friend at Columbia University who is among the world leaders in time travel technology.

Instead of getting a backlog on sports scores (ala Marty McFly) or finding out about the results of the upcoming 2008 presidential election, I just decided to go one week ahead to dole out some birthday wishes, plug an upcoming festival in New York City, and talk about the past (good 'ol 1988). On August 5--seven days from now--this will all make sense to you.

Fans of the band Here Here will notice a misspelling of "Hear Hear." Like I said, this will all make perfectly good sense a week from now. If you really want to know, lawyers from a band exisiting in the early 40's called Here Here, sued the San Francisco indie act resulting in the name change. If someone sees the band today, they should let them know this (just so they can get a jumpstart on all the legal work).
