    Tonight at Teavolve was just stunning. I don’t know that there was any one performer in particular that blew my mind. From that front I might even argue that the night was a little lack-luster – like, there was no ONE person who just floored me, but overall the night felt good, took you from…

    Running around and playing in the leaves in Catonsville. Fall hath fallen, but is still in full fall force. Ha! Cora came to my Teavolve open mic and we danced and also frolicked. Headed North for Thanksgiving – to New York state to celebrate with Kristen’s sister’s family. It’s great, patches of silver sunlight fight…

    A moody sky on the way home from Northern Virginia. THANKSGIVING BEGINNING!!! Two different shows. Two VERY different shows. Friday night we were back at the New Deal Café in Greenbelt, MD. We were a full band, we were LOUD (possibly the loudest stage volume I feel like we’ve been at for a while, it…

    The Darkest Timeline was my featured artist on November 14th – they’re one of my favourite local entities and the combination of Juels Bland and Zach Parkman is truly stunning. Both are great writers, both are great guitarists – and Juels’ voice is truly unique, with Zach’s more traditional vocals providing a pretty marvelous counterpoint.…

    I’m watching Deathgasm. Don’t judge. I kind of relate. I’m probably pretty Brodyish at heart, except I’m way more into role playing games and way less-tolerant of guys named “Zakk”, especially those who spell it funny. However, the dreamy wish-fulfillment of finding that metal-head blonde who appreciates the music like you do coupled with the…

    Well, I must admit to some pretty vicious mood swings recently. Going from feeling like things are going to be okay over to the fear that it’s the end of the world and back again – and of course everywhere in between. I feel attacked because of course everyone that’s not straight and white and…
