    Aww – we got a local article! (psst, “JUELS” Bland!) (also “Morsbergers”) (also also… well, there’s a lot – but I’m grateful for the writeup!) And flattery from Juels Bland? What IS this madness!!!! We do this every Tuesday. Signup before 7. I start at 7. 7112 Willow Avenue in Takoma Park, MD. robsopenmics.ilyaimy.com for…

  • February 19th, 2024. I’m not okay, and that’s not okay, but it’s okay.

    Broken plug. I want four lights. There ARE four lights. I just can’t get electricity into all of them. This pulled out at Tina Ross’ show last week where everyone but me caught COVID. Well, while everyone else is recovering, I can teach myself to fix a plug. Success! It’s mayhaps a metaphor! I’m very…

  • February 18th, 2024. Music City Open Mic.

    We DID this every Thursday night at Morsbergers at 713 Frederick Rd, Catonsville, MD, 21228. Now we do this every SUNDAY night instead, and it seems to be working out! Signup at 6.30, music at 7pm. Enter through the back at the LARGER of the two doors! (the other entrances are straight to the bar…

  • February 16th, 2024. Coff and weaz.

    Despite the cynicism of this post, it’s actually been a really great couple of weeks. Our Live from the Lair for rob Day was pretty much one of the best things ever. Even though I didn’t get the cameras REALLY where I wanted them, we had a great time packing into the basement and playing…

  • February 13th, 2024. The SPARK w LILT.

  • February 11th, 2024. The answer is quarante-deux.

    Before going to open mic tonight – we’re fitting some special Keola time in. We swear that what we’re fitting is “analog”. February 11th is the 42nd day of the year, and as such, should hold a special significance to most nerds and SmartPeoplez – however, I’m not feeling TERRIBLY aware of any sense of…

  • February 11th, 2024. Music City Open Mic.

    We DID this every Thursday night at Morsbergers at 713 Frederick Rd, Catonsville, MD, 21228. Now we do this every SUNDAY night instead. I WAS concerned about killing my open mic with the move, but if anything, turn out was better LAST week. This week tho… was the slowest we’ve ever been. Apparently there was…

  • February 6th, 2024. The SPARK w Miles Spicer.

    We do this every Tuesday. Signup before 7. I start at 7. 7112 Willow Avenue in Takoma Park, MD. robsopenmics.ilyaimy.com for more information. Tonight was a strangely chaotic but sadly slow night. Miles is SO good, he truly deserved a full room – but I got to watch his fingers as he blue us all…

  • February 6th, 2024. Ick.

    Yesterday wasn’t a good day. A couple of nights before that I’d had a long conversation with a friend about Options when things were bad. About how there’s always AN option. We weren’t discussing options for ME per se, and the conversation was more about pulling away from said option, but it was a conversation…
