New DVD out today and then there were only 2 Texas shows this weekend

tales-cover-23.jpg

I have a new DVD I'm releasing today. You can order it right here from the good folks at Poltz.com. Here's what the back cover looks like. It's also got lots of post-show interviews and about 4 bonus tracks. It's a dvd and it also contains a cd for your driving pleasure. It also comes with a microwave inside and bat saliva. And if you act now, you will attain inner peace with the odds of nirvana increasing if you were to maybe buy ummm- say 2 (two) instead of one. A couple of the packages contain soylent green and about 5 others have a small Czech family of 7 living inside of the cardboard insert. Also- most people will think you're really cool because you had the good sense to invest in music. It's like owning a restaurant: YOU CAN'T LOSE! If you buy this dvd today then you have a good possibility of finding true love and you'll definitely get put on the short list toward Catholic sainthood. So go ahead and buy 7 or 8.

My Sunday Sept 21st show in Houston got cancelled due to the hurricane.
The show in Dallas is still on at 8pm on Sept 19 at:
rock house films
3006 cole avenue
northeast corner of cole and sneed
Sept 20 I am in Austin Tx
at Hill Country Galleria
6 pm with Matt the Electrician

I played at The San Diego Music Awards last night with The Cynics. We had a good time. I was nominated for album of the year which was pretty cool. I didn't win but that's ok because I have a new dvd out! Did I mention that if you buy it you'll feel like you did win an award? I did? I mean: I did!

One final thing- Unraveling came out on Itunes yesterday so I got that going for me... which is nice.
Boo ya crunk

Yay! ...on the cd/dvd and two shows in Tejas. :)

Funny thing. I have a new job (2 wks strong) in Bee Cave. Looked up our 'work' calendar on the computer the very first time the other day and it showed your concert. Made me happy to see 'featuring Steve Poltz' listed there.

Wow, cool. You gave us the front AND back covers. That way when I download it for free off this here internet it'll look like I actually bought it. Suh-weet. ;-)

I only ordered one. I didn't know there were bonus points awarded for extras. I'll post a 38 page review once I've viewed it. I'm a little concerned about the small Czech family. Do you know what they eat? I don't know any Czech, but I understand that it's very close to other Slavic languages. Do you have any tips?

I demand a recount!! You should have won. Is it true what they say? Was it an honor just to be nominated?

Can't wait!! Gotta stalk the postman now. He doesn't like me. My cat bites.

I hope my new DVD/CD holds the Golden Ticket that reads:

"Greetings to you, the lucky finder of this Golden Ticket, from Mr. Steven JJ Poltz. Present this ticket at the factory gates at ten o'clock in the morning of the first day of October and do not be late. You may bring with you one member of your own family...and only one...but no one else. In your wildest dreams, you could not imagine the marvelous surprises that await you".

Posted by: Karen at September 19, 2008 9:20 AM

Not only was I at this shoe, I got the dvd yesterday!!

But I didn't get a Golden Ticket, so all four of my smelly grandparents remain in the same lice-infested bed.

The thought of Catholic sainthood just guilted me into getting a copy.

Hope it comes with one of those golden tickets.

Nice Caddyshack reference :)

Soon I'm going to be in an online interview in

and I'm going to mention your name as one of
the musicians I listen to as I prepare for shoots,
'cause I really do!!!

More fine art nude models may start listening to your music while they're actually naked!!!

Janice your posts freak me out!

Posted by: freaked out in cinncinati at October 6, 2008 4:04 PM

Nothing to be freaked out about
"freaked out in cinncinati"!
I'm just a fan of this mans music,
nothing more nothing less!

Posted by: Janice at October 6, 2008 10:26 PM

Steve : If I'd have purchased your DVD before today (10/11/08) would we have beaten The Dodgers in the Division Series instead of getting our butts swept ? Gary

Posted by: Gary Hughes at October 11, 2008 7:12 PM

Awesome (in my east coast accent). Its about time we get to here the true Poltz talk about the songs he is about to sing. On a DVD or CD. Background and history, familiarity and understanding makes for an instant audience grabber. Its like having Poltz in your very owe home, car or airplane. Good job!!!
