Sunday night we met up with lots of friends in Boston to play the Burren w Tom Bianchi and Cilla Bonnie. As always, there was chaos and giggling. Cilla Bonnie performing at the Burren in Somerville, MA. Standing room only. Great bass player. Awesome show. Greg Klyma stepping up with Tom Bianchi’s absolutely amazing pickup…

Orion can’t keep his paws off my new toy. The Zoom R16 is showing itself to be an increasingly amazing device, so it’s understandable. With it I hope to record much of Heather’s new solo disc, as well as perhaps my own as well as an ilyAIMY Live disc or three. Indigestion. Oh how I…

The day of Kristen’s birthday we played the Fine Arts Fair in Bethesda, MD. Rainy weather had chased off a lot of people, but as we played an audience slowly returned – with Lovely dogs in tow. I Love the violence of the weather. For too long it’s simply been hotly brutal. That’s like a…

Not originally in the Journal – here’s a bunch of photographs as we hunted around Charm City for a good photo shoot location. It’s cool to see how Graffiti Ally has changed! This town will be the downfall of us all? Really? I kind of doubt it. Unless you mean just morally or something. Hrm.…

Java Mammas! My open mic on July 8th was a little bit insane. I think anyone who thought “Someday I’ll go check out rob’s open mic” decided that July 8th was going to be thier someday. Including Hannah (above) – an exquisite second-coming of Joni Mitchell artist from the Catonsville area. She’s a nervous creature…

We watched “The Road” tonight with Viggo Mortinson and it was beautiful and heart-breaking and I watch people acting the part of having to try and feed the water to their dying father and it hurts me and slightly offends me. Not for a good reason, not deeply, but I imagine the actors breaking from…
