Interviews Schminterviews

Everybody in Minneapolis check out this week's Onion. We're in there. Mugshot and all. We'll get a scan up ASAP. Then on Saturday morning we'll be on WCCO radio with Charlie Boone telling our magical story at 6:30 am. I hope we don't oversleep! Set your Tivos if you have ones that can record radio. Mom, I know you'll be listening.

We got books!

They're finally here. We held them like little babies. We wept with joy. Then we signed them and sent them off into the world.

Release party posters are up!

They're ready to go. The tension is building. I was sweaty with anticipation.


Thanks to Mary, Monica, Anna, and Jaynee for their help today.

Website work continues

If you thought TheBookofSPAM.com was complete, think again! Well, it's mostly complete. There's some finishing touches being added very soon. You will like them. Yes, I command you to like them.

This is Cory. He's making the website. He's blurry because I had too many beers while he was making the website. This is how I saw him.

Cocktail attire controversy

The Book of SPAM is causing controversy already! And it's not even out yet. For those attending the release party, it was suggested that "cocktail attire" be worn. This has resulted in confusion and many interpretations. For our purposes, "cocktail attire" is what you'd wear out to drink martinis. Not what you wear in the garage swilling warm Schlitz. Like a nice shirt and nice jeans. Or something fancy-dancy for the ladies. It doesn't mean a suit and tie. If you want to wear that, we won't stop you. More power to ya. And if you female people want to bust out any dusty bridesmaid dresses, that's ok too. But you don't have to. Just don't show up in a wife beater and dirty zubas. This is for your own good. When did I suddenly become a fashion nazi? Good lord.

If you have any questions, or if you haven't RSVPed yet, or if you really want to come and we somehow forgot to invite you, email us at:

The first review is in!

This review is pert-near spot-on, methinks. We're busy getting ready for our release party. The tension is thick enough to put in a can. Only 8 more days until the book hits shelves, folks. Can you feel the magic?

The theme song has landed.

What book has its own theme song? The Book of SPAM does! Listen to it until your ears bleed with SPAM love. Created with the help of Alex Berglund (violins and mixing, courtesy of Echo Boys Music), Joanna Jahn (the beautiful multi-tracked voices of the choir - check out her site here), and many others, this song captures the emotional fury and intense desire that is The Book of SPAM. Who's that super wicked awesome lead singer? Yours truly. Oh yeah. Feel it.

Download it and put it in your iPod already!
