So. Slump Buster is back. At least via text. When yet another message arrived on Friday night, I responded. I know, naughty, naughty Man Eater. Go ahead, spank me. Three is the magic number for giving it up. So I gave in.

I swore to myself that I wouldn’t post the (more…)

“I am a product of Craig’s list,” singer/songwriter Thomas Kivi declares when I arrive at his rented pad in the Seward neighbor. “I found this apartment there. I found my roommates there. I found my job there. The only thing I haven’t found on Craig’s list is a girlfriend.”

“That’ (more…)

Going Ga Ga for The Goondas. Again!

Confession: I was not in the mood to party. But my gawd, they’re The Goondas and I love those naughty boys as though I’d birthed them myself. I had to go to their show…but when my 9 PM primping time rolled around, I could hardly get the junk (more…)

No Baloney (but plenty of spaghetti) with Seneca's Rob Hope

August 23, 2010

Tags: Rockstar Guest Chefs, Starving Artist Series, Musicians, Irish, Ireland, Rob Hope, Seneca, Spaghetti Bolognese, YouTube Music Video

Unfortunately for Man Eater, not every sexy rock star lives within driving distance. Case in point: Rob Hope, the frontman for Seneca, an alternative rock band from Limerick, Ireland. How did I find Rob? A little birdie (a.k.a. my very first Rockstar Guest Chef (more…)

Phat Freestylin' and Pad Thai with Kristoff Krane

If timing is everything, then Kristoff Krane is worth the wait. It’s taken two months, a dozen emails, and a Kowalski’s shopping bag of swag to get the hip hop hottie to emerge from the underground.

Okay, he’s not that hidden away. But pretty close. Upon my arrival, I'm led through (more…)

Down in the Dumps with DJ

Though I’d only said goodbye to one guy, within 72 hours of dumping New Dude, it felt like everyone with a Y chromosome was either giving me the cold shoulder or getting on my case.

Case in point: my step-dad.

“You’re not pregnant, are you?” he exclaimed on Friday morning when he saw (more…)

“You’re early!” New Dude exclaimed when he appeared behind me, nude and dripping wet.

“I know, right?” I replied, plopping down on the couch with an issue of Spin.

My punctuality wasn’t the only sign that something was very wrong. All day, I’d been in that weeping-over-the-steering-wheel-for-no-apparent-reason (more…)

Cowboy Caviar with Josh Fry

Josh Fry has a big mouth. I first witnessed this phenomenon at the Kitty Kat Club when Josh belted out a hybrid of hard rock/bluesy soul tunes as the frontman for Tollund Moses.

Now I’m in Josh’s suburban townhome, where he’s showing me his huge sausage. I am audibly delighted… (more…)

The Goondas Are Good (Cooks)

The Goondas freak me out. In their music video “Jackalope Jesus”, drummer Josh Miller bangs away, stiff and bare-chested, like he’s on speed. A shot follows of his drumstick…between the fangs of a dead bear’s mouth. Then he takes a piss by one of Minnesota’s formerly pristine 10,000 lakes. Nice.

Fast Girls, Slow Cooker

It’s noon and I’m reading erotica at the Y. On other side of the windowed wall, bare-chested men (suits from the publishing company across the street, on their lunch breaks) are playing basketball. Each one passes by the glass, dribbling at first, then slack-jawed when they see me, flushed and sweaty, and (more…)
