Giggin' for a Livin': January 2009
http://mattwiththehat.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Giggin' for a Livin'. I play music to pay my rent. Here's how. Wednesday, January 28, 2009. Bangkok Blues Blues Jam 1-25-09 The Idle Americans. 926 W Broad St. Falls Church, VA. I should have just set up a cot in the back and stayed the night. Is it possible to develop ADHD at 25? Cause I hear that adderall stuff is pretty cool. Also, I realized on Tuesday night that that last stint was 11 gigs in 12 days. Go Matt! Next: These last few days off. Next-Next: Zoo Bar on Thursday AND Friday. Matt with the Hat.

Giggin' for a Livin'. I play music to pay my rent. Here's how. Saturday, March 28, 2009. Olde Bowie Towne Grilleee. Played tonight for a packed house at Old Bowie Town Grill.

Giggin' for a Livin': November 2009
http://mattwiththehat.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Giggin' for a Livin'. I play music to pay my rent. Here's how. Saturday, November 14, 2009. My triumphant return to the coaxial waves - The best $0.99 you can spend. Thanks to prodding from several trusted sources who prefer to remain nameless, I decided to launch myself back into the blogospace. Lots has happened since the last time I was up here, but who cares about yesterday's laundry? On to the pressing concerns of the day. What can you buy for under a dollar anymore? A) They only cost $0.99. At Fish...

Giggin' for a Livin': February 2010
http://mattwiththehat.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Giggin' for a Livin'. I play music to pay my rent. Here's how. Wednesday, February 3, 2010. Snow Storm Week, pt.1. Last night at Cat's Eye, Idle Americans were at half strength. We were merely 'Idle Ame-', or, in anagram land: 'Lame! Called out because they did not want to make the drive up (or, more accurately, the drive back) from Nova. But, y'know who did come up from Nova? Falling under the heading "You Scratch My Back.", I'll be at Bertha's on bass on Friday with Glenn Moomau and The Blue Flames...

http://mattwiththehat.blogspot.com/2009/02/zoo-bar-2-12-09-big-boy-little-band.html
Giggin' for a Livin'. I play music to pay my rent. Here's how. Thursday, February 26, 2009. Zoo Bar 2-12-09 Big Boy Little Band. A couple weeks ago, I had the (admittedly rare) drunk idea that stood up in sober light to challenge Allan to a Desert Island Dozen, listing the 12 albums that you could not live the rest of your life without. A couldn't quite get it down to 12, but here goes nothing. Matt's Desert Island (Baker's) Dozen. William Clarke – Tip of the Top. The Faint – Danse Macabre. In the summer...

Giggin' for a Livin': Blog Bankruptcy
http://mattwiththehat.blogspot.com/2009/03/blog-bankruptcy.html
Giggin' for a Livin'. I play music to pay my rent. Here's how. Thursday, March 26, 2009. I, Matt Kelley, do hereby declare blog bankruptcy. All unpaid debts I have to the blogging community shall hereby be annulled. As partial remunerations, I offer the following tidbits. And I'm making more eye contact, performing more dynamically, and, consequently, attracting more female attention, which is always appreciated. Also, PP has now added Zach Sweeney on upright bass. Matt with the Hat. Matt with the Hat.
