oovret: Week 53

What do you typically purchase from Famima?
i used to always get the salmon hand rolls… they were AMAZING… but i think they’ve stopped making them :( so now i get spicy tuna musubi and occasionally salmon sushi.
Do you enjoy any other ballroom dances?
salsa!
What is your favorite Kogi menu item?
i’m not sure yet… haven’t tried enough things. i MIGHT have had an answer for you had the kogi truck not run out of food when I was in line the other night :(
Do you enjoy listening to “Run-DMC”?
can’t say that i’ve listened to a ton of their music.
Do earthquakes scare you?
not so much when they happen, but i used to lose sleep over thinking about when “the big one” was coming.

Ey, a song i actually have in my collection, that’s a first. Great cover (off course:P). But now I’m wondering, which David Archuleta are you opening for: this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Archuleta orrrrr this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Archuleta_(kickboxer) ?

The ST meetups sound like so much fun, I don’t think I can make the NY one though, hopefully another time!

o well i know there will be a next time :)

Glenn said on...

May 26, 2009

uh, thank you Marlin :-D My question was, however, rhetorical… MamaG’s reputation is well known! but thanks for volunteering the info!

I sense that you may have a kind soul, be careful of a few of those online personalities… especially those grammar nazis!

Well I also wanted to tell you that me and my boyfriend love u soo much and we are planning to get married before he leaves to Afghan and I would love it if you sang at our wedding.

Ok, so first of all to Kina – I agree with you that this song is BEAUTIFUL! Yet another heart song for you to sing… I love it.

Secondly, I am working on Saturday, June 6th so I was originally thinking – bummer…. I won’t be able to make it to NYC for the concert on the 5th since I have to be at work so early…. But now I am rethinking this after finding out about the meet-up in Central Park and all. I am so tempted to go!! I don’t know what to do!!! I basically just need a place to stay in the city over night and I need to get the Saturday off of work.

So we shall see….. Maybe I will see you New Yorkers there! If not, my apologies, but I am sure I will be back soon enough.

<3 your Bostonian friend Jess

oovret: Week 54

When you cover songs, do you look for guitar tabs or figure them out by ear?
How many street teamers are there, now?
On average, how many marriage proposals do you receive each week?
Do you enjoy listening to Herbie Hancock?
Are you ready for your song marathon?

Mama G said on...

June 1, 2009

If you can make it, Jess, let Kina know ASAP so she can bring your street team packet!!!!!

Mama G said on...

June 1, 2009

She may remember your face, but she’ll stress out if you make her try to remember your name!!! Be a swell guy and just tell her!! :)

Mama G said on...

June 1, 2009

You might have to wait until the new cd comes out :)

Mama G said on...
