What a BEAUTIFUL day to have some Christmas! Alien vs Predator – Requiem is out today and I’m hungry for goose and slaughter. In the words of Ferdinand the Duck, truly “Christmas means CARNAGE”. Oh and crystalline skies and sunshine and lots of kid-beladen families getting up early and lots of kidless families getting up…

Last night’s open mic at College Perk was, as usual, full of ups and downs. I’m really falling back in Love with the place and Keola was full of the mirth last night. I’m unfortunately not having a good Christmas. I’m worried about the downward spiral – where years ago, the year my father died…

I imagine that it’s funny how I think about relationships. I have a couple of little triggers that make me think “success” or “failure”. The automatic cooperation that comes with years of partnership. The way my aunt and uncle would make a bed together or the way Rick and Audrey do the same. The way…

I could never stand still, I don’t think. It’s good to be in one place for a while, I get to pretend to be a regular. People recognize my face and for a change, I recognize theirs. They know what drink I want and they know that I’m kind of a pansy about the temperature…

Last night we got to play at the Old Bowie Town Grill – it’d been SO long since we’d last been there, it made me sad to think we’d been so sorely lacking in that place’s company (AND their food, of course). We had Keegan Corbey open for us – such an amazing player – I’d never seen…

Ah, I’m so adult – but not so adult that I’m actually freaking out about the first snow of the season – just adult enough to see it as a mixed blessing. It’s powdery and sugary and virgin and clean and the sky is close and covering us with another inch before letting up. Peter…

It’s been a long time since I’ve made a Journal entry. A really, really long time. Lots of things have been going on – but most of them haven’t been band related and I’ve got a lot in my brain, unfortunately a lot of it is just too private to share here. Slowly it seems…
