More promotion for our show Saturday (beginning 9pm). And for the curious, here’s the poem the show might be named after…
Not too sure what it might mean, though, in the context of promoting the show. But the other bands sound great.

Wandering Rocks- The Tweets So Far: Pages 1-219 June 10, 2010With Bloomsday merely a week away, and with it, the majestic Reblooming of Wandering Rocks, I’ve collected all 219 one-tweet summaries of each page of Ulysses. (Which, henceforward will be conveniently available via a tab header.) Much love to VOREBLOG, LIZAANNE, BRENDAN, and KATIE, who generously contributed their reductive powers to this dubious effort! “T […]jerrygrit
- Wandering Rocks 2.0: The Reblooming June 5, 2010Okay, here it is. The plan… I’m driving the bus. And I’m going to be driving it slowly. I will read one page a day, starting on page 219 on June 16th. And after I read that page, I will one-tweet a summary. After that summary, I will–as the mood strikes–tweet a commentary. You will […]jerrygrit
- Dear Wandering Rockers… May 10, 2010Dear Wandering Rockers, I am sorry. I got a job. A real adult-type kinda job. Managing Wandering Rocks in its previous incarnation was untenable. I have lived in shame ever since, a shame unmitigated by an expensive cocaine habit (an expensive cocaine that I can now afford, thank you very much). I haven’t looked at […]jerrygrit
- Ulysses Funmary # 9: Scylla & Charybdis September 30, 2009Ok– it is long past time for me to write this funmary, but admittedly I’ve been bogged down in the minutie of academia (not unlike our librarians here). So, after far too much ado and many apologies, through the twin dangers we must sail. Now, in The Odyssey, Odysseus knows what dangers await him. He […]EKeep
- Ulysses recap, pp. 184-204 of “Scylla and Charybdis” September 16, 2009By LIZAANNE Well, hopefully, my slow start on this section has given everyone a chance to catch up and make their way (in a nice, orderly fashion, of course) up to hushed reading room of “Scylla & Charybdis” (unfortunately presided over by some Quaker named Lyster, instead of Ruth Harrison, Reference Librarian). For your edification, here […]EKeep
- ULYSSES Funmary #8: Lestrygonians September 4, 2009By JERRY GRIT We’re back with Bloom, who is for the most part alone here. Sensual guy he is, his concern for food is central. Especially since he’s looking for lunch. Unlike the narcotic somnolent effect food has on us (as depicted in the postprandial “Lotus Eaters”) we’re preprandial here. His mind is alert. He’s […]jerrygrit
- ULYSSES Recap, pp. 174-183 of “Lestrygonians” August 31, 2009By JERRY GRIT The twread-thru Ulysses continues… 174. Horserace talk from Flynn. Chix dig cold noses&beards&dogs. LB likes wine w/sandwich, thinks can go home @ 6 & that we eat odd things. 175. Who 1st thought 2 eat oysters? People who eat tainted food, special food. LBs waiter fantasy. Sees flies doink. Wine is LBs […]jerrygrit
- ULYSSES Recap, pp. 163-173 of “Lestrygonians” August 30, 2009By JERRY GRIT **********Wandering Rocks Alert********** Some dude in Dublin is also tweeting though Ulysses! (I discovered this when I hashtagged Ulysses… apparently the old “#” can be helpful when it’s not abused). He’s way back in “Hades,” but he’s not really summarizing a page per tweet. So he could catch up! We must all […]jerrygrit
- ULYSSES Recap, pp. 151-162 of “Lestrygonians” August 28, 2009By JERRY GRIT First, this should have been your face… Second, here’s the first part of my tweet-thru Ulysses‘ “Lestrygonians” chapter, minus the shameless hashtag exploitation (which was completely unsuccessful in inflating our follower number). 151. LB wandering, handed religious flyer. Recalls glowing cross they lived by before. Sees SD’s sister. Criticize […]jerrygrit
- A “Lestrygonians” Preview and 13 Good Reasons August 26, 2009By JERRY GRIT There are many reasons I’ve gone astray the last few weeks and haven’t been administering to full capacity. Here are 13 good ones… 1. I moved. 2. To a fixer-upper. 3. I got a metal shared in my eye. 4. It rusted. 5. It infected my eye. 6. I assembled these chairs. […]jerrygrit

Gird yourself for a hoot. True Historians, The Columbines, Lion v. Fish, Julie Jurgens (herself), and then Miss Jackie and the Sass will do their respective things for Julie’s birthday! Who will be the one to push Garrett over the edge? I think the pitchers of Lieny’s are still $4!
PS. Heads up to the Madisonians. We will also be opening for freaking Eef Barzelay (of Clem Snide!) in Madison on Thursday, August 7 at Cafe Montmartre. No joke.
