My apologies for the lack of updates, <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">but I have a life<\/span>, but there really isn&#8217;t much new to report. What&#8217;s going to happen will hinge a lot on who&#8217;s coming and when. I will be putting up a slideshow with a tour of Stroudsburg (and yes, it includes Frazetta&#8217;s House Of Horrors). The hype goes INTO full swing in February&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Zoo comes to Anarchtica.<\/strong><br \/>\nNew Yorkers (like me) are rejoicing as Max 106.3 is becoming Z-100&#8230; WOO HOO!!! That&#8217;s NOT to say that Max isn&#8217;t awesome, but I miss the Z Morning Zoo.And I will also miss DJ <strong>Chaz Henderson<\/strong>, who has moved on to bigger &amp; better places. He was a good friend to me, and my other site, and plugged it on <strong>Max 106.3<\/strong> many times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li><strong>More popular than Jesus Christ (and Don Ho).<\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ericbrooks.com\/images\/posts\/lil_626.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Experiment #626\" width=\"44\" height=\"50\" align=\"right\" \/>Johnny Kai reports that 25,000 people (?) showed up and voted at The Hawaii Music Awards this week. Blowing last year away. This is largely due to GREAT friends who spread the word online. (Steve and Ali&#8230; you TROOLY rock my world!) Any one else who was a part of this, please let me know. <strong>MAHALO!!!<\/strong>Johnny will be back here in the Spring, and anyone wants to come here and CHECK out his Hawaiian SHOW at the resort over the summer, let me know&#8230; this dude is awesome.<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Am I to understand there&#8217;s a new celebrity in CyberTown for me to kick around?<\/strong><br \/>\nThere is no way in hell that I believe this is the *REAL* Dave Barry. On BLOGSPOT? Give me a break. More like the return of KayCee&#8217;s mom?I would well imagine that Dave Barry would write posts of epic Ezrael-like proportions, and he&#8217;d have something more profound to say than &#8220;The Dixie Chicks kick ass&#8221; (Fuckable? Yes. Ass kicking? I dunno. I don&#8217;t listen to Country Music. Slide guitars and banjos make me queasy unless it&#8217;s done by The Eagles.).<\/p>\n<p>I would love nothing more than to test my mettle by engaging in a battle of wits with the REAL Dave Barry, but I refuse to believe this clown is him.
