November 22nd, 2018.
We’ve been spending entirely too much time careening up and down I-95 these past few weeks. One tour, then NERFA, and now Thanksgiving.Really. Teleportation. I want it. Rip my atoms and molecules and fling themheartily from place to place. Rebuild me from constituent local starstuffs. I am only data. A standing wavefront. Send my mind…

November 11th, 2018 – Privacy Shmivacy.
When I got home from NERFA tonight Kristen handed me a piece of “weird mail” – an advertisement from Verizon addressed to our house with the name: “Keola [last name] ilyAIMY” Initially – ha – yeah, weird piece of mail, laugh. But then I was wondering HOW that connection would be made. Obviously that information…

November 10th, 2018 – NERFA Day 3 – ESCAPE.
I’ve made my escape. The hotel is big and beautiful and broad, but I needed to make a run for it, get out and escape. I headed to the stairwell and no-one stopped me. I reached the bottom only to find that this ONE exit, marked elsewhere as “leads outside” is alarmed, solely an emergency…

November 9th, 2018 – NERFA Day 2
I’m up, I’m up. I don’t know that I’m ready for the day. All signs point to “yes”, but my stomach says “no” and I use a hairdryer for the first time in my available memory simply so that I don’t look like a half-drowned (but sweet-smelling) rob rat, I reflect again on how fucking…

November 8th, 2018 – headed to NERFA.
A great night at Teavolve before we head north! So let me tell you about my troubles. I like wall calendars and this past year I bought a movie monster poster calendar from the real golden age of such things – and they’re awesome and they’re salivating and there’s women screaming and weirdly-shaped space ships…

Let’s get the Hell outta town. I play a game with a couple of friends as we’re traveling. Itext them exit names as we pass them and they write me back stories as if they were character names in their RPGs. We passed an exit with Wallingford goingone way and Meriden going the other –…

One of my favourites: Conor Brendan being my featured artist at Teavolve and projecting what I call his “melancholy smoulder”. Getting home to the cat is kind of the best. I mean… wife too… but it’s weird to post too many pics of that. This gig at Baltimore Residence Inn wasn’t much to talk about,…

Just another marvelous night at my Teavolve open mic! This week with featured artist Kim Gravett’s Sonic Spell! Home and… DONE! Oh dear – I came down to Takoma Park to meet with a web client and their clock was attacked by a knitted octopus. Ain’t that always the way… Heather needed some photographs taken…

October 14th, 2018.
An incredible night at Teavolve where some really amazing pieces were in play. Jeff Miller was my feature – and he’s an amazing performer, killer guitarist, and just kind of a sweet guy – but he was my feature, so I KNEW he was popping in… but holy crap – it’s Daniel Roberts! We haven’t…
