They Might Be Elders

So I went in to work today at Seagull Book...it was SOOOO busy, although, it IS "Black Friday, so I expected it. Busy, busy, busy...

Well, we had an artist come in for a CD signing today. The CD as well as the name of his "band" is "They Might be Elders." He said he knows John Flansburgh and John Linnell from They Might be Giants, so his name is kind of tribute to his friends John and John. Steve Nunez, the creator of They Might be Elders, does parodies of popular songs that everyone knows and "makes them Mormon." They are pretty funny. ;) He also knows another parody guy...Weird Al! He told me that him and Weird Al want to someday have a concert in Salt Lake City. Steve would open then Weird Al would finish, because they both do parodies...except They Might Be Elders is Mormon music. Anyway...I just thought that this guy was really interesting. Really neat to talk to.

Here's a picture of some of the Seagull Book staff and Steve with his CD...(Steve, me, Dallon, and Christina).

So we had a BLAST at work today! Super exciting stuff!

Another thought...I'm not a fan of the whole "Black Friday" idea. I went to the mall at midnight (the mall in Sandy actually reopened at midnight...technically this morning...) and it was JAM PACKED! I'm never do THAT again!

Well...I hope you had a fantasic Black Friday, Buy Nothing Day, Make Your Own Head Day, Red Planet Day, and You're Welcome Day!
