Shoving Keola down in the snow worried me for a moment. He’s stick-thin and can’t possibly have much in the way of reserve warmth, but he sprang forth from the snow apparently unharmed and eager for mayhem. I Love what I think of as “my job” – being a musician pretty much rocks, pun absofuckinlutely…

Really? A giant inflatable rob-head? Is this truly necessary? My back hurts. Something fierce. I’m glad we didn’t end up going down to the store yesterday (and from what I hear, we really weren’t needed), but we did all the shoveling out yesterday morning and the left side of my back hasn’t yet forgiven me. …

People are decidedly nasty. In general, we’re small-minded and short-sighted and generally a little bit nasty. I’ve been fortunate enough not to surround myself with That Kind, but unfortunately, That Kind is what’s en vogue in our species and they breed faster too. My friend’s house, broken into and rummaged through – for some reason…

Christmas is coming, the rob is getting fat. Please put a penny in Heather’s hat, cause no-one else in the band ever wears one. Wally Dyer was the featured artist at Java Mammas on December 10th – he did a great job and once again I was blown away by his voice and his extremely…

Saturday brought us our first snow in our new house in Baltimore, MD! Booking is invariably slow and discouraging. Even when returning to familiar territory, there’s a myriad of favourite venues that have gone under or changed management – or that nightmarish unfamiliarity when someplace you THOUGHT was a huge fan responds with “who is…

My friend Freddie (@freddieoconnell) tweets: It should ALWAYS be this much fun to pee. Brennan of Petal Blight, far too nervous to actually GO in front of Han Solo, frozen in carbonite or no, as we perform together at the Senator Theatre in Baltimore, MD. “Watching @robilyaimy tweet with @MillaJovovich is surreal. Only one has…

December 5th, 2009. The Tree Hunt.
Last Friday, Kristen and my friend Sandy and I went out on tree retreival. Christmas was destined to be OURS. If we could find the perfect tree. Which we did! My friend Sandy was… not dressed appropriately. Cute though. OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA It was the first time I’d cut down a tree since I was……

Maui takes the Enterprise! He puts the GALAXY in danger! I’d been craving the DVD release of the new Star Trek movie and was more than willing to spend the extra money for the limited edition in-the-starship packaging! Kristen sneaking up on Maui to save said galaxy. If you’re curious as to who triumphed, look…

Without coal, most cities would be in the dark. Coal is Pennsylvania’s source for electricity. Coal is Pennsylvania’s source for jobs… etc. We’re in coal country. We ate lunch in Coal Center, PA. We hung out with a coal miner much of the other day. We’ve passed power plants that are burning “clean” coal…

Almost home. Sort of. Almost home, but headed West at 75mph through Western Pennsylvania with every sense wailing “but you’re going the wrong way!!!”. As we round Pittsburgh yet again, knowing that I’ve spent for too little time back home even as we speed further and further away from it, I console myself knowing that…
