Life is too short to be clothed and not featured in calendars, that’s what I always say. Yes, it’s time again to find me defrocked and dated in Spike Gillespie’s third annual nude-ish calendar. This year, it’s called Still Naked: The 2008 Calendar, and Cedar Fever (a fab, faux boy band of which I am 1/4th) envelops the month of December.

You may recall that I was the December Man in the 2006 Naked Calendar. Well, there’s more skin and grin this year, I promise. I would show you the new picture, but I’m afraid you’ll have to pay $12 for a peek. It’s for a good cause, after all, the ACMAWF (www.acmawf.com), Austin Children of Musicians, Artists and Writers Fund. Do the right thing for your heart and your cubicle wall by ordering a copy HERE.

Or better yet, come on out to the release party Tuesday night at the Hyde Park Theater, where Cedar Fever will perform around 9 pm. We don’t appear publicly too often, and this is the kind of venue where you’ll really be able to analyze our moves and grooves. So do it to it. Pick up a calendar or three and blush along with fellow Austinites who dream of buffer days.

Of course, tonight is another installment of the Flipnotics @ the Triangle show, featuring the legend that is Bruce Hughes. It’s now been four days since ACL…time to fall in love with live music again! Will I be able to finish the overdue “Country Life” in time? Tune in to find out!
