Like, what’s the best city for karaoke? Price of gas in some podunk town? Or if they’re still selling that one shot glass you need to complete your collection? I make no guarantees I’ll get around to everything, but you’re welcome to ASK JEWEL and share your thirst for knowledge and crazy schemes. If you’re willing to part with $20, I’ll even deliver a singing telegram upon request. Restrictions limit the song to one I can (easily) play on my guitar (and no, I couldn’t find a way to make Guitar Hero mobile), a stop along my route and no guarantee on time of delivery.
