It's happened again. The rug has been pulled out from under us all and we've been plunged into afternoon darkness for months to come. All in the name of letting us plant our crops, or some such anachronistic nonsense. Seems some countries are actually considering entering into modern times and scrapping "standard" time altogether. I say let's join them. Who's with me? DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME RULES! YOU CAN'T MAKE PROGRESS BY FALLING BACK!
Well, if it has to be nighttime starting at 4p, I guess that gives us time to put on a few evening shows. Here's what's coming up:
TUESDAY, 11.24.09 - 8P
SOUTHPAW
BROOKLYN, NY
Hey, I hear what you're saying: "Um, Brooklyn, Jim? Have you grown an ironic mustache that curls up at the edges? Did you buy a new pair of skinny jeans? Are you fronting a band and standing at the microphone playing a floor tom instead of guitar?" Well, as it turns out, the answer to each of these questions is "No", which means I'm actually quite nervous about playing in Brooklyn being absolutely devoid of any hipster armor whatsoever.
Southpaw is actually a great room. It is also a BIG room. So, sincerely, if you can make it out and bring some folks or even send that performance artist friend you knew in college out to the show, I would be "geeked" or "stoked" or "?" - let's go with truly appreciative.

So at the grocery store today I found myself bopping and singing along to the song that was playing, when I realized, "Wait a minute...I know this song!" They were playing 'Listening to NRBQ'! Thought that was pretty cool! :D
Hi Jim, Just wanted to tell you that your show on Saturday night was incredible!! It was so nice to meet you and talk to you! I love the CD we bought from you and continue to tell everyone I can that they should get their own copy! I look forward to the next time I can see you live! Keep Rockin'!
Hello Jim! Thanks again for playing the Dylan gig... Everyone said we sounded darn good! ...I'm trying to get copy of video..?,...I can't wait to hear it!! lol! Your page sounds great!...I , love the songs...I hope we get to play together again sometime, maybe write!!!? say hello to B.A. for me... All love, s
So there I was, not a suspecting a thing, watching the final episode of "Cupid" on ABC earlier this evening...and in the background of a radio station that one of the characters worked at was a poster for Jim Boggia's "Misadventures In Stereo".
Great to see and hear you at the World Cafe in Philly Thursday night! Unfortunately, we could not hear more or your songs... We all heard some great songs and deliveries. I was blown away. I must get out to see you again soon! ...js
Hey, I looked you up on Wiki, it says you're from Royal Oak MI? That's where I'm living now! Dude that would be awesome if you were from here. :) But you're good, seriously. Your music's...fun. x)
I am sorry to hear about your situation. I hope you didn't have to spend anytime in Palmdale, there isn't much there. We had a wonderful time on our day vacation. The only bummer was not being able to see you perform. We saw you open for Duncan Shiek at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, CA about 3 years ago and we have been fans ever since. Hope you do get back out here soon and hope the rest of your trip was better than Palmdale. Thank-you for your offer of sending a CD, but I have all of yours and no worries. Thank-you for responding and good luck.
Ted, Jen, Bacon the Bassett Hound, Biscuit the Mutt, Winky the one-eyed black cat, Annie the Fat Cat and Fox Mulder the Cat.
Yo Jim! Thanks for hanging the other night and helping to make it great. Cool to get the gang together now and again, right? One more rehearsal would have been one too many.
