is that not one person who came from LAist has gone away

sadly that streak has ended with the lovely ali miller

the good news is ali is leaving on her own terms, to pursue a career in exotic modeling

we wish her well.

update: turns out ms. miller is not entering a “career” in said field (that was just a thank you image). in actuality she is going to be working with one of the leaders in the video game world, an area that she totally excels in. to a scary extent.

that’s right, the three bad brothers you love so well, the Beastie Boys.

tix on sale in may so save up

to see how she could hang

went to the other donut place in inglewood that has a donut on the roof

then had some delicious soul food at Berthas

bertha has a beautiful list of rules which we tried to obey

berthas kids run the front, her husband sits by the door and says “Yeah!” when you enter and when you exit.

we found some hair in the cornbread

and then in the chicken.

didnt stop me one bit, but the date was not at all impressed. more on her later.

the busblog hasnt asked much of you all in quite a while. used to be a time when id ask my lovely readers for money, or dates, or really outrageous things. but in the last few years, to be honest, i havent needed a damn thing.

today i need your help.

a few months ago i switched servers. it was a move that was seamless for most of you. i quietly moved from the sweet soft servers of Nothing Special over to the industrial strength love of canadas Media Temple.

all was well except for one thing – Google started indexing the busblog as if it was some new thing. and the search results that this 8 1/2 year old blog used to get naturally were suddenly not there.

the most damaging was the result for my name, tony.

so this is what im asking of you. lots of you link to me, and for that im indebted, big time. but many of you link to me as “tony pierce” or “da blogfather” or “my babys daddy” ect. and sometimes you link to my how to blog rules or to just tonypierce.com

all of those things are super nice, but lets try this one thing.

just link to me using the single word “tony”, and make the url http://www.tonypierce.com/blog/bloggy.htm

once there was a time when this humble blog would rank in the top 3 simply for “tony”, and even though im now in the front page of results for that word Ocassionally, if we organized who knows what might happen.

so if you could, and would, change your links that would be oh so swell.

gratzi, tony
