August 9th, 2023. Sugar and storms.
During a During a thunderstorm, the beast hides many places. Under my desk…. Under my computer… Wednesday found us taking a break from the Lair to race up north to Delaware to play the Sugar Bowl, a beautiful little gazebo thing in a park in Wilmington. It was an easy drive, a fun show with…

August 8th, 2023. The Spark w Ceeka.
Before heading into Takoma Park for the Spark today, I did something I never do. I went… and had… lunch… with a friend. It wasn’t a gig. It had no stated business purpose. It was a “hey, we should get together sometime” conversation put to task. Miles Gannett had been at the last ilyAIMY show…

August 6th, 2023. The aftermath of a Dark Horse.
Tis a sad state of affairs that I have NO pictures from last night. They must exist in some form. Lots of people TOOK pictures. Lots of people took video. But where those pics and videos go will be an eternal mystery. Where ALLLLL the pics and videos go that people take of random shows…

August 4th, 2023. Nightmares.
Speaking of nightmares. This actually happened to me at Safeway the other day… I don’t remember much of my dreams the last couple of days. They haven’t been good, but good things had been part of them, going unremarked upon until they were ruined, which is a shame. Sometimes I have long, epic dreams that…

August 1st, 2023. The Spark w Philip Spiess.
Unfortunately, the internet at the Spark collapsed this week – we’d been getting periods of breakdown over the webcasts the past couple of weeks, but this week it was unusable right from the get-go and we eventually turned off the cameras and just did audio. Still a fantastic show. Just a shame you didn’t get…

July 24th, 2023. Gosh we rock.
Set up and ready to play at Worman’s Mill in Frederick, MD. Monocacy Brewing in Frederick, MD. It’s Monday morning and I’m bone tired. I do NOT deserve to be. The rest of the band has some form of work this morning, and though I had a meeting and some office work yesterday, I really…

July 23rd, 2023. They Cloned Tyrone.
Storytelling is dangerous. It’s important. It’s filled with wonder and wisdom and responsibility. I feel bad that I often can no longer JUST appreciate a STORY. Tales have WEIGHT. It’s taken some of the joy out of going back and rewatching the X-Files. I Loved it, I Love rewatching the overarching mythology episodes, I Love…

July 20th, 2023. Music City Open Mic.
She doesn’t look like much, but she’s got it where it counts! Oh. And the penis. Yeah, slightly different culture. (Sorry, Star Wars jokes are also too easy here) Weirdly, a LOT of Star Wars parephanalia floating around. A good night. Friends really turned out and made it something special. Hoping to keep a good…

July 18th, 2023. The Spark w Juliet Lloyd.
A great night – I got to play with Juels on lead and with Zander on sax, closing out the night with an intently rockin’ version of Elephant Joke, and the whole night was filled with pretty amazing music, not least of which was our fabulous featured artist, Juliet Lloyd. We do this every Tuesday.…
