A little bit about me: One year ago I was sitting in a posh office in downtown London, about to start my life in the business world. And then catastrophe struck: I downloaded an MP3 onto my computer at work. Harmless, don't you think? Two days later I found myself fired, fined, and jailed. Collateral damage of the digital age.
So here I am, living to New York City with my childhood friend Henry, making a go of it in the blogosphere. Enjoy the posts, and feel free to drop me a line!

A little bit about me: Hello, Internet! It's me, Henry Scott. You've probably heard of me. If not, here's a primer. I've been a stand-up comedian in London for the past few years, before I realized my true calling: blogging. I didn't like the comedy world much anyway. Too many agents. I hate agents. In November 2005 me and my best buddy Mark packed up for New York City, and here we are, proud parents of BathTubYoga. What else? I like Ginkgo Biloba and Ginseng, and women love me.

You know, maybe we should've done a video blog, Henry. It seems like the newest thing.
HENRY
Vlogs? Mark, look, there is no future for video on the internet. it's a fad.
MARK
A fad? Do you know how many thousands of hits Rocketboom gets every day?
HENRY
Trust me, Mark. It won't last. Besides, who would want to see your ugly mug on the Internet? (pause) Maybe if it was me?

Have I mentioned that I love your accents? And I'm really glad they're real. It's fantabulous. Really quite lovely.
