October 2021


  • October 31st, 2021. Happy Heatherween.

    The webcast isn’t perfect. I probably had us mixed better in the room and because of camera positioning we don’t spend NEARLY enough time gazing upon Rowan’s beautiful face, but … you’ll get the idea! Heather’s mom captured us in action… Happy Birthday Heather Aubrey Lloyd! Almost. For all that having to figure out a…

  • October 19th, 2021 at the SPRING w Adele McAllister.

    A beautiful night – a little cold perhaps – but I Love this stuff. It’s only a BIT marred by the fact that there were so few people to share such a perfect night, AND the knowledge that this might be the last night we get to be outside as the cold closes in. Michelle…

  • October 17th, 2021. Joy.

    Jimmy Stewart in the background, Heather and I enjoying a rainy day at Red Shedman Brewing at Linganore Winecellars. And as usual, the best captures of any given moment are coming from Tracy Buchanan. Today there was a lot of day in my day. Or maybe I’m sad and exhausted, but the weather was unsettled…

  • October 14th, 2021. Coulda woulda shoulda.

    Bad dreams aside, last night’s Live from the Lair was a disturbing amount of fun. I haven’t been sleeping. Well, that’s a lie. I’ve not been able to sleep till around 5 or 6 the last couple of days and then sleeping in till 10 or so and my sleep schedule’s all confused and convoluted,…

  • October 13th, 2021. Owww.

    Hate. The last couple of days have been a bit rough on the rob. I’m substantially more scuffed up than normal and sort of feel like that moment when Indiana Jones is asked about … isn’t there any place that DOESN’T hurt? Fortunately, with my wife that conversation doesn’t culminate in being slapped around with…

  • October 12th, 2021. The SPRING w Silence Echoez.

    A fantastic night at the SPRING with Joey Jenkins / Silence Echoez as our featured artist! We were all set up in the courtyard by 6pm at which point it started to rain – so we scrambled to move indoors and there’s some glitches due to that chaos. Still – a fantastic night with plenty…

  • October 11th, 2021. It’s a Monday Monday.

    Few friends would care about this, and I may have just burned the friendship to the ground that would’ve cared MOST. So I’ll document it here in the hopes that one day we’ll think back on this argument and laaaaugh. Oh, some would say it’s Columbus Day, but they’d be out of step with current…

  • October 10th, 2021. Delicious ketchup.

    Driving down to Alexandria, VA for what’s probably our last Lena’s gig of the year – Tuesday September 28th. Halloween appears to be in the air! Warming up at University of Pittsburgh in Greensburg, MD. This past week was supposed to be the first slow week, and it was – but it’s also felt like…

  • October 5th, 2021. Chris Titchner at the SPRING.

    Chris Titchner from North Carolina, featured artist at the SPRING. Know1Else kicking off the list at the first INDOOR open mic at the SPRING. Tonight was our first time indoors and it works! It never QUITE rained but we were going to have to try this eventually – as eventually it’ll just get too damned…
