Dear Editor,
I have always wanted to work for someone young enough to be my kid. Now’s my chance! I did this already for some nit-wit at **** ****
Magazine, but I figure you at least know who The Beatles are, so I might have a better shot here. And your Twitter posts indicate that you do enjoy an adult beverage now and then, so, if nothing else, we can get smashed together. So just hire me. I really hate it here.

A couple of weeks ago, Worleygig.com was honored with an exclusive invitation to join a cool new web-ring of blogs created by one of our very favorite websites, Neatorama. The NeatoHub, as it’s called, circulates high-quality blog posts from a select group of sites around the globe via the widget you’ll see posted along the lower, right-hand margin of The Gig’s home page. You’ll also see a listing of NeatoHub posts when you click to comment on or view a full individual post. It’s a pretty cool project, and I’m very honored to be part of it. Please check it out by clicking on some of these guest posts, which in turn will generate traffic to Worleygig.com. Thanks to Neatorama for the opportunity to bring the Rad Blog to a wider audience, while also enriching our readers’ experience with fun new blog posts!
Update: The Neatohub Feature Has Been Discontinued.
On This Date, August 27th, in 1967: The Beatles’ manager Brian Epstein died of a sleeping pill overdose. News of Epstein’s death reached The Beatles while they were on their now infamous retreat with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. The back story of Brian Epstein’s life while he worked with The Beatles is actually pretty intriguing and crazy and obsessive and all that good stuff. I recommend checking out the book The Love You Make by Beatles’ camp insiders Peter Brown and Steven Gaines for lots of good dirt on Epstein and the whole band. The book gets a bad rap for being such a sordid tell-all, but you know what they say, “they wouldn’t print it if it wasn’t true.”

When I first laid my baby blues on Miss Mary Jane, a limited edition, resin figure designed by artist Paige “Paigey” Pumphrey and manufactured by Patch Together, I thought I was looking at a little alien pixy with a massive broccoli floweret for hair. But closer investigation revealed what should have been obvious from the start: Mary Jane’s hair is huge bud of pot, duh. Furthermore, her adorable hooded jumpsuit is actually a Ziplock baggie, how appropriate! Miss Mary Jane is 8-inches tall when fully assembled (some gluing is involved) and sells for $59.95. While they currently appear to be sold out, you can request a re-stock at This Link.
