No, even if you could 'say' posts on television, these probably would not be banned.  Though I did learn just last night that the phrase "ruby red bag" is on the FCC list of heinous things you can't say in broadcasts - look it up.

Regardless, last Sunday saw the passing of a comedic legend, but we managed to keep on bloggin' (somehow!).

• Frank went to both The Cure shows.  He is a man of dedication.


• Paula wrote our first review of a McCarren Park Pool show this summer (I think!).

• Darren interviewed Brianna from MTV's Real World: Hollywood about her upcoming EP.
