The Back Alley Tabernacle is a blog about things we are doing in Los Angeles, New York City and Jersey City. Yep, we’ve even got Jersey City covered. We offer spiritual guidance and reflection and encourage you to strap on a collar and do the same. That strap on part sounded weird. If you’re interested in contributing please email us at backalleytabernacle(at)gmail.com. Find us on Facebook, and REACH OUT.

The Back Alley Tabernacle is:

Danny Eagle
Formerly a stunt double, Dan spends most of his time musing over the firery wrecks of his past. He’s replaced large plywood ramps and flaming hoops with This Old House Classics and some very sensible shoes.

Lou O’Bedlam
Lou was born, things went well for awhile, then there were some… a lot of mistakes, he coasted along for a while, then a few things got really bad, like that time on the mountain with that acid head and the… anyway, then things got really good, a few more mistakes, he got that job saving lives, learned some cool tricks, another mistake, learned from some mistakes, then made some new ones, is currently trying to keep his head down. He’s actually made even more mistakes since the initial writing of this bio. He’s still keeping his head down, but that appears to be a losing tactic. So he is preparing to become ultra-conspicuous. He lives in Los Angeles, and is calling you, from INSIDE YOUR HOUSE.

Tuffie
Notorious for being unable to pronounce a wide variety of words, ranging from dachshund (it’s dash-hound, right?) to Penelope (Pen-a-low-pay?), Tuffie doesn’t understand why really good movies don’t get 10 fingers up, instead of just two thumbs. Having been born and raised in Los Angeles, it was only during a year abroad in France that she came to realize Boston wasn’t in the South. Peanut butter, travel, jagermeister, tofu and music are absolutely a few of her favorite things. When she’s not involved in an activity associated with these interests, you’ll find her reading.

Uncle Jemimah
I am to the blogosphere what Canada is to bacon. My Great Great Great Great Grandfather Jebediah Jemimah brought his ancient craft of bloggery to the Americas upon the good ship S.S. Fermunda in 1777, and henceforth fostered a legacy of bloggery that is now five generations deep. Very deep, indeed. We are Jemimahs. Give us bloggery, or give us death (or a spanking)!!

Tod Brilliant
Tod lives a life of mystery and quiet abandon. The mystery “What the fuck is it that Tod does for a living? How does he put food on the table and film in his fleet of fine cameras?” has yet to be cracked. He routinely abandons the following: social graces, friends, ballot boxes, adverbs, the elderly, underwear, lucrative offers, good ideas, good manners, taste, groupies, spent film packs, bar brawls, people with accents, dental work. Since 1998 he has fallen into a cultural vacuum in Sonoma County, California, finding the lack of oxygen/nutrients good for the soul. As his surname suggests, his every utterance is laden with genius. Even when he snores, he drops mad wisdom.
