Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: “This is a Woodlawn-bound 4 Train.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwZdDyH9LLc Ah, yes, summer in the big city. The subway stations are oppressively hot (dear god, Herald Square in summer), the Mister Softee trucks have been pushed out by bootlegs (like New York Soft Serve), and the Canada wildfire smoke has (mostly) subsided! We hope. It's that time, because they don't yearly

Wumbo Wednesday: We Has Camp Notes!

Ah yes, summer camp, the wonderful fun of doing… whatever arts and crafts shit, I don't know what goes on at most sleepaway camps. The only sleepaway camp I went to was music camp, and though we had a good time it's not nearly as fun as the "one time

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: We Kinda Made It!

Yesterday nine teams' rookies reported to training camp. And today the Jets have fully opened up camp, as they're playing in the Hall of Fame Game. There's football actually on the horizon! The important stuff: -Steelers, Alex Highsmith agree to 4 year, $68M extension. -He ain't cause he's not: Denzel Mims no

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: The True Nadir

Well, for anyone who watched, that was a bit of an eh game at least in the middle innings. The 8th and 9th were interesting though. For anyone who didn't, the NL beat the AL 3-2 in the All-Star Game in Seattle last night on the strength of an 8th

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Subtitle Goes Here

(Wow, nicely done, me.) Well, I didn't finish any gigs after midnight this past week, so I'll take it. That took me almost a week to fully recover, even while I had other gigs that week. Or actually that's part of why. So, let's scramble here! -There's one race left in this

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: The Endless Setlist

One of the stories in the writers' backroom this past week has been my Sunday night. I am still recovering from it, because, well, it's nothing short of the longest gig any of us have ever had. Including the contractor. Who had played something in the morning. In short, call time

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Well, Now What?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDhLjTQMHk4 It's that time of year again, where all that's left in terms is baseball. The Euro footy's over (and who cares about MLS, even with Messi), and we have the relief that Florida Man will not win championships this year. Or championship, thanks to the Nuggets and Golden Knights winning their

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Pray for Maestro

If you don't live on the East Coast, Hank Scorpio hasn't started slowly and methodically vaporizing you yet. Imagine playing sports in this? Oh, wait, we have that. Image via The Sporting News. But for real, if you haven't heard, Ontario and Quebec are currently suffering from wildfires, and it's so widespread

Wumbo Wednesday: This is Scenery?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=071cXxCNj5A So Monday/Tuesday was Manhattanhenge. For those of you new or unaware to New York customs, Manhattanhenge is the four days a year (two in late spring, two in early-ish summer), where the sunset aligns with the grid of Manhattan. It looks something… a-like a-this. One of the things I've always wanted
