The snows have come again. Gently. And quietly. They sort of snuck in while I wasn’t looking. We’ve got another Republic open mic tonight and I’m not quite sure what kind of an effect this will have on turn out. There aren’t nearly as many people RSVPed to the event and that could be the…

March 10th at the Teavolve open mic. Krist Novoselic playing “Royals” by Lorde at Republic in Takoma Park, MD. Ours is a job that you can’t fail at. Sort of. At least, until you decide to. If you’re an accountant or a school teacher or cash register operator or rocket scientist or any other number…

Another winter storm is headed our way. Probably. It’s always a little tricky to figure out what’s on its way with a news service given to hyperbole and delighting in the delivery of bad news. Still, it looks like all the websites are beginning to come together on this idea that we’ve got another foot…

New Bunny! New Leia! New Wallpaper (at my new open mic!) I’m too old. I’m also too young. It’s a pretty awkward place to be. I spend a lot of time pretty damned frustrated, and then trying to relax, and not being good at the latter. I’m too wound up to just chill out and…

A good time had at Republic in Takoma Park, MD. Moooood swings. I’m swimmingly chipper, I’m depressed, I pep up, get really, really angry… I can point to plenty of environmental factors like gigs, open mic attendance, spectacular featured artists, rough weather… but in general I feel like my heart of penduluming far too swiftly,…

Open mic night continues at Republic in Takoma Park, MD Bearded Saturn – probably the last snow of the season, and my noble steed welcomes the thought. I’m so sick of shoveling my car out over and over and over again. Say what you want, all this snow is beautiful. In Catonsville it’s a bit…

Muppets playing in my bedroom. Heather at Firestone’s. Me playing in my bedroom. Kristen tuning up at a wonderful house concert at Doug Brouder’s home in Gettysburg, PA on February 8th, 2014. I’m feeling kind of good about myself. Maybe a little self-righteous. I’m watching a video of Acacia singing along with me and Keola…

February 3rd open mic at Teavolve. A new open mic at Republic in Takoma Park, MD. The roads are crowded this morning. Salt-encrusted roads, salt-covered cars, slate grey sky… it’s like the monochrome of Texas all over again. I-95 is in a flurry of pre-snow activity in preparation for the storm that may…. Or may…

Zoe Mulford at Teavolve on Monday January 27th. Having Zoe Mulford as my featured artist at Teavolve had been one of my initial “got to be back by this date” dates for our January trip. Made it. Loved it. Well, it’s 5.30 in the morning and I can’t sleep. I’d Love to say that that’s…
