Happy March, fearless readers. I come to you on the edge of leaving this frizzled city o' mine for some more temperate climates. My bags are packed, and I'm ready to go -- to Kauai! That's right, the time has come for myself, Hydro, Frants and Diesel to kick it Pacific Style and head on out to the 50th state. Excitement doesn't do the feeling justice, but I suppose it'll have to suffice.

In my absence, I'm sure you'll manage (because it's not like I don't normally go 10 days between updates, anywho). But, if you need to entertain yourself while I'm gone -- and you're interested in helping out a good cause -- I've got two smashing benefits you could attend.

- First, on the 6th of March, we have Happy's own Waterwell Productions holding their Cabaret Benefit at Joe's Pub. See website for details, and purchase tickets. If you've ever caught a Waterwell show -- you know it's well worth the price of admission.

- Second, on the 8th of March, we have Rounders and Hitchell's "Huge Dorks Productions" Fundraiser: Save The Orphanage! down at Uncle Mings in the East Village. Stop by for some fun and to support these two guys in continuing to make their hilarious & creative films. Rock. (And, speaking of "Rock!", don't forget to check out Mitch's own website and say 'hiya'. Wicked Awesome.)

And, if you're looking at some interesting photos whilst I'm gone, you can check out the wild gallery that Amy took when she recently went to the Playboy Mansion on a Late Show remote. "Will it Float?" went on tour, and she got a personal tour of the grounds, complete with monkey nobs, Hef, and some playmates. Wild. Peep it at my Flickr stream if you like.

Now, if you'll excuse me, it's time to pack, eat, and later -- address the madness that's gripping our messageboard. I've gotta step in and end the chaos. Wish me luck.

Mahalo.
