Has a new video.

I was recently on the receiving end of a somewhat amusing misunderstanding. I’ll let Chris’ email speak for itself.

hi there Steve,

today’s the first time i’ve looked at your blogs, but i have to say i really like them… the Window’s 3am one was great! i recently found a “people magazine” from december that had a review about “The Who” that i think you did…(unless this is a diferent Steve=), but i just wanted to say that it was really great! i’m a musician, and you said it all just right… i’d love to hear what you think about my band… if you get a chance, please check us out @ www.myspace.com/goodbyeelliott . anyway, keep up the good work, and if this isn’t steve from people, you blogs rock as well=) thanks so much for your time, Chris

I found this uproariously hilarious, even a bit scary, to the point that I spent the next reading and re-reading this email, all while laughing nervously. It was somewhat unnerving to be suddenly contacted by someone I didn’t know just out of the blue… I don’t really care about pop music, much less to the extent of writing an article about it, let alone one for People Magazine! My reply:

Hello Chris,

I’m glad you enjoyed my blog. I’ll have to say I don’t write for any magazines. My writing is limited to school assignments and my website. It must have been a different Steve writing in People, I apologize for any confusion.

I looked at your site, and your music seems very well done. Congratulations on releasing a CD, and have a nice day!

I was wondering how Chris would’ve found my site in the first place. I Googled my own name, and it turned out I was the fourth result! I’m assuming this is how Chris found me.

PS: I’m using Lima beans instead of ice for my cold packs because they’re softer and drip less.

PPS: This post was heavily edited after initial publication, as to not be too critical of Chris.
