Weird keywords for my website...

I was just looking at my website stats to see how the page for Magic For Marissa is doing. People find the Roadside Attraction site with some darn strange key phrases, such as...

wemon (is that even a word?)
stuck in vagina (what the hell?)
huevos cartoon (for those spanglish search engines)
inuyasha naked (I'm not sure who Inuyasha is but...ok)
pictures of monterery jack cheese (You saying I'm cheesy punk!?)
monterey hookers (Some of the canneries still smell like fish too...)

Curious what kind of site would draw such bizarre searches? www.RoadsideAttraction.com

Magic For Marissa

Tickets are selling well for the Magic For Marissa event on September 8th. If you haven't heard about it yet, we're raising money for Marissa Montufar, a 13 year old girl fighting cervical cancer.

Marissa and her whole family have been very supportive fans of my art for the last few years. And I've even had the opportunity to teach Marissa how to play the guitar. She's very passionate about theater and music, and just a great kid.

For all the details on the event and how to donate money, visit www.MagicForMarissa.com.

It's going to be a great event: Music from my band Roadside Attraction plus Jonah (star of reality show Waiting 2B Discovered) and his band Timeless. Plus comedy from Justin McClure (San Jose Improv), Beth Schumann (Rooster T Feathers), and Yayne Abeba (everywhere).

We'll also have silent auction and raffle with great items: Comedy tickets, autographed items from fantastic artists like Criss Angel, Strata, and Constantine Maroulis (American Idol), original paintings, from Johanna Uribes and Lynn Ruth Miller, a Las Vegas vacation, private house concerts, and more!

Even if you can't get to the event, please do donate some money to help pay Marissa's overwhelming medical bills. You know how insurance companies like to back out as soon as something really bad happens.

Get your tickets now or donate money at www.MagicForMarissa.com.

Things I experienced tonight...

Just got back from my show at the Swinging Door Saloon in San Mateo... Just as big time as it sounds.... Here's a few experiences from the evening.

- I should not eat giant burritos right before a show. A lesson I still haven't learned.
- A lady gives me this compliment: "You have a wonderful voice... The song was crap, but you have a beautiful voice." Here's the song she was speaking of.
- Watching another performer do his impression of Jerry Lewis performing Crosby Stills and Nash's song "Ohio".
- Listening to LoveLine on the way home, they're speaking with a guy from Linkin Park about his paintings and how the profits are going to very worthwhile charity to help put students through art school. This is immediately followed by a girl on the phone complaining about the smell of her boyfriend's penis.

Ah, the life of a performer. :)

Cancer Benefit Sept 8th

The Montufar family have been some of my most devoted fans over the last few years. And now Marissa, the middle sister has been diagnosed with cervical cancer at just 13 years old.

Of course, the insurance company isn't paying nearly enough, so we'll be holding a benefit show on September 8th at Mission City Coffee in Santa Clara, CA. Roadside Attraction will be performing as well as Jonah and Timeless. Plus I'll be bringing out some of my hottest comedy friends. We'll have a silent auction too, full of great items you'll desperately need to have. And every dime will go to help pay Marissa's medical bills.

So please put September 8th on your calendar right now. We will have advance ticket and donation information in the next day or two.
