    Angies all paintin’ on one another. Well, just Angie painting Ange… no… Angela painting Angi… THAT’S what it was! It’s just cool that the Pour House in Reisterstown, MD has resident face painters.

    Booking is painful and sometimes embarrassing. Not from the point of view of asking women out – I mean – in that circumstance, being turned down sucks – and it’s embarrassing. With booking, being turned down is a massive part of the job and for every hundred emails you maybe only get ten gigs –…

    Chaos days, chaos days. Between Lover and Twilight is occupying the majority of my bandwidth, slowly being uploaded to Irvine, California where it will be printed, pressed, returned… It’s out of our hands now and with that always comes a certain sense of relief, but then there will be the terror of opening the box – did…

    Typical rob dreams last night – the world ended, wide-spread calamity, chaos and the burning of things. Last-minute packing. I decided if I couldn’t bring ALL of my Magic cards, i shouldn’t bring ANY of my Magic cards. The realization that at the end of the world, being a musician turns out to have been…

    I wonder what it says about America today that we’re making SO many vigilante movies… I guess we’ve always had a tradition of cowboys taking the law into their own hands and shooting up the bad guys, giving them a justice far more final than what our justice system will generally hand out. Mara ran…

    Me making manly man dust with the manly man SAW! At the College Perk open mic in College Park, MD – two pairs of sisters (Laws and Smiths) make me want to sing that “Sisters” song from White Christmas! hm… yeah. Heather and Justin and I stuck in the back of the truck, making our…

    Ha – posted this last entry on another blog o’mine – one frequently lurked upon by old, old friends – and Alison, my crush from kindergarten wrote: “Long ago, I went to see a band play. There was an opening performer not noted on the ticket or any advertising. A guy came out on stage…
