I jumped turnstiles the other day. First time since my teen years. It was 9july. My card expires the 10th. So it still should be good. Nope. Coded wrong or something. MBTA authorities just kept scanning me through but none of them were willing to fix my card for me. One of the times I was in quite a hurry. I stood there waiting while the MBTA authority tended to the needs of someone who couldn’t get her credit card to work. More and more I waited so I finally just gave up and turned around looked for the fastest walker and stood behind her. She swiped her card, and walked on through. I walked on through right behind her. No one seemed to care. Me either. I figured if they saw me on camera and tried to freak out, maybe then they’ll fix my card! So I was a turnstile jumper for a day and a half.

Memory Lane
Ooh neat.
I’m looking over an old blankbook journal (#56) and it’s one where I was asking lots of famous people to sign my journal instead of whatever books, cds etc I bought “from them.”
So the inside cover says the following.
To Marc
and your good heart
Winona LaDuke
2000
Marc
Stay Human
Michael Franti
2000
Jello Biafra
and then I’ve got three stickers that Congressman Barrett put in my guitar case when he was running for Governor.
and more memory lane:
The sticker from a used copy I purchased of “Steal This Movie,”
and the upc sticker from Lucky Boys Confusion’s “Throwing The Game.”
Ah, I knew them when…

Bad News Good News. People Are Stealing My Songs
Bad news good news.
Someone out there is giving away mp3s of my music,
and then using them to tease people into joining a ringtone
subscription service.
http://beemp3.com/index.php?q=marco+capelli&st=artist
Is that the bad news or the good news?
Both.
Listen,
these are all songs I’ve given away completely all over the internet
wanting people to hear them pro bono!
Please explore whether you can convert an mp3 to a ringtone at
no charge to yourself on the particular phone you have.
Please only purchase a ringtone of my music if there is NO OTHER
POSSIBLE WAY TO GET IT FREE.
My music was not made to be bought and sold!
It was made to be shared, loved, cuddled with, given away, felt, heard
and understood on levels that money can NEVER translate or interpret.
Oh well, so this is good news and bad news. I’m a little frustrated that
there’s someone out there trying to monetize, but I’m ecstatic that every
single one of these are available FREE OF CHARGE somewhere else.
Please find the free ones, you’ll feel much better about that.
So anyhew, here’s a couple places to find them FREE:
google:  mp3notcom  (all one word)
Or just wander around here a little while:

Newest Ultimate G33k t0y
The ultimate g33k t0y or what???
A portable wireless access point.
Yup. Give yourself a second device off of your own evdo:
and then share with two or three other peeps.
Nice.
We took it for a spin with this nokia and my Dell notebook
and it seems to give somewhere between DSL and high band
with hardly any inconsistency at all!
Awesome.

Senator McCain Is Pro-Genocide
First off let me say that John McCain is a war hero.
And his public statements AGAINST torture are to be respected and
admired just as much as his personal valor serving his country.
My love and ass kissing ends right there.
Senator John McCain is an outspoken advocate of genocide.

Crocs and Mossimos
“ Look at me in my Crocs, Mossimo cargo shorts, NewEra formfit hat and a shirt saying POPULARITY IS A SOCIAL DISEASE.
“ Police behaving badly. http://shrinkster.com/yxf
“ New recording of my all-bamboo guitar over at http://www.stealthispodcast.org”
Battling Freepers for days on end this summer. Never a dull moment…

So I had a problem with my brand new Crocs for a little while. Big huge painful blisters on both insteps right away. Wore them for about 3 hours and then set them aside and healed the blisters all week.
Good thing I was in Boston the other day because the Eastern Mountain Sports people who sold ’em to me had no idea how to respond. Behind Quincy Marketplace there’s a bunch of shops, you know, Banana Republic, et al… Well a new shop that moved in sometime the past couple seasons was a brand new full-on Crocs distribution store. First one I’ve seen anywhere. Possibly the clo
sest one to me. So one of the clerks knew exactly what I was talking about. She told me to loosen the back straps even more than logic would tell you. Their purpose is not to snug you in even a tiny bit. They’re to keep the Crocs from falling off, and that’s it.
Mission accomplished. I wore ’em a couple hours yesterday and then again all day today so far. Yay!
I knew if I just took the time I could become fully bonded with my new Crocs.
