KWATHUMPPP!

...is the sound my head makes, exhaustedly hitting the desk, glancing off the keyboard, causing it to type something akin to vcxujm bi;g.

amazing weekend, with some very pleasant, unexpected visits.

I'll tell you all about it after I sleep for twenty-one days or something.

potential update

Hey everyone. Was working up at the farmhouse this past weekend, and the downstairs bathroom is now functional, clean and repainted. The exterior of the house is now repainted as well... The place is even more beautiful and you all need to come back up

OH MY GOD! (from xkcd)

that is all

How do you afford your rock and roll life style

Hey everybody. So my trip was a lot of fun, and it involved trying to fix a 35 year old motorcycle, a sweet brewhouse in Columbia, SC, and some plans for me to move to Chapel Hill in some months to a year. Re: the latter, we should all start a commune in Chapel Hill. I'm totally totally serious. But more on that later.

The primary point of this post is that my band, Maxwell's Demon, complete with new songs and new philosophies on live shows, is going to begin a sort of mini-tour soon. The idea is to get serious, a sort of "go big or go home" attitude, to get some recognition and raise some money for new equipment. We'll kick off with a show in New York City at Don Hill's in the village on Saturday August 25th. We've got the headlining spot, so if you're in the big apple come and show your love.
We're looking to set up shows in Baltimore, DC, Philly, New Haven, Middletown (represent) and Boston--we're already hard at work on it, but if y'all know of any sweet clubs, radio stations or cats who would dig a house-show, hit me up. (I'm very excited about all of this).

In other music news, Dugan is setting me up with this singer-songwriter guy who wants a blues lead player. This will hopefully lead to some fruitful local gigs, plus I'll get to play more blues (!) Also, Dav-Abrav just sent me an mp3 of a song he wrote that samples the guitar lines from an old song by my band ("purple", for those of you geeky enough to be fans of my band) and it sounds way more awesome than the original song! If he's OK with it, maybe I can post the mp3.

Anyway, that's all for now. At the risk of sounding like meg, much much much love!

And... I'm alive.

1200 miles, one volvo radiator, more than one hundred coffees, a few spent .22 caliber rounds, several bottles of sunscreen, twenty episodes of battlestar galactica and one detour to Baltimore later, I've returned from about three weeks in the carolinas and a week upstate before that.
For virtually all of that I was without internet access, and for about a third of it I was without cellphone coverage. So, in case you were wondering, I'm still alive.
And if you sent me an email, I probably didnt get it.
