February 12th, 2020. El Golfo w E’RBODY and Heather Aubrey Lloyd.
So – open mic math can be hard. I’ve got an end time, I’ve got a start time, but the number of people I can fit on any given night is a wide open variable. I roll as fast and hard as possible trying to get every artist in, and sometimes I make miscalculations… and…

February 11th, 2020. Why I Hate Instagram.
I’ve been trying to parse my feelings towards Instagram. Not IG as an app per se: it’s cute, I enjoy scrolling through it, I like web comics and hashtag secretdoors and cat videos and classic sci-fi posters… but as a communication and advertisement platform, even *I* recognize that my visceral hatred for it isn’t logical.…

Every once in a while I seem to do things in JUST…

February 3rd, 2020. Teavolve’s Open Mic w LKHD.
Monday night’s open mic was a Lovely thing. Great music, a great feature. A lot of people I hadn’t seen in a LONG time randomly coming in out of the blue. It made for a fun night. Bands that had formed at my open mic coming back to visit, old friends who we’ve toured with…

February 2nd, 2020. Rockin’ the Rockville.
Last night was amazing. A surprise. An amazing surprise. And I ain’t just talking the spectacular sandwiches our friend Robin brought us. 7 Locks is a brewery in Rockville that we stumbled across when they started up about 4 years ago, and Keith has always been true to his mission of wanting to make a…
