hello

I know I’ve posted a bunch of stuff about the Haiti Benefit and assure you that this will be the last thing I post.  We started pre-selling tickets for the show a matter of days ago and so far so good!  I want to reiterate that even if you can’t make it to the benefit you can still donate money by purchasing a ticket.  100% of the admission charge goes directly to direct relief, a 99% efficient medical relief non profit.  I know a lot of my pals live out of town and can’t make it and I encourage you to still help out in any way possible.  Please follow this link to purchase a ticket, and of course I appreciate any reblogs/reposts/word of mouth love.   Thanks!

oh boy

man oh man. crazy how certain things are so much bigger than us.  the verdict practiced tonight in a place that means something rather important to each of us individually.  the chemistry was great, I feel amped about the show.  we’re going to keep working hard and I hope we’ll be tight as a drum.  can’t wait to support this cause.

this is the charity we’ve chosen for Give Your Heart to Haiti.  The most money will go those most in need. Thank you to everyone helping out. I’ll be posting a flyer up here as soon as I get one.

save the date

February 12: Give Your Heart to Haiti Benefit Show.

expect to see: harvard. the verdict (one time reunion). junior astronomers. red cloud at sundown.

cover: 8 flat. all ages. all proceeds go to direct relief international so we can get the most  money to those most in need.

more details will be posted soon. please tell everyone you know. Haiti needs as much help as possible as soon as possible.

Here are my ideas for wall art for the new place.  These are all pictures from my time in Italy. I obviously edited them and made them B&W.  I just need to print them in matte and get some cool frames.  I don’t really know how to sort these all out in my bedroom.  I just want it to look slick.

okay. last video. boy. youtube gets you going on a train and you just can’t get off. I love that. love love love that.

Ben Allison is a slick damn fella.  I remember being at a record shop about 4 or 5 years ago and liking his cover art. I sampled his record in the store and went into a trance when I heard his first track on the record (respiration).  You don’t need to know anything about music to know that he’s an outrageously creative and inspired musician.  This track is loaded…absolutely loaded.

boy oh boy

my word. it’s been quite some time since I’ve written or posted anything on my tumblr.  a lot has happened in a relatively small amount of time.  time keeps passing and passing, things keep happening, it’s all pretty exciting.  I’ve recently taken a new job and will also be moving into a new place with a wonderful friend of mine.  I can’t possibly convey how excited I am to physically live in Charlotte now as opposed to the boonies.  I’ll hopefully be doing a lot more bike riding/friend hanging/beer drinking/fun stuff/city running etc…

I’m really digging the way the place looks and I have to give props to my room mate Toree for finding this place.  I’m going to take some pictures once we get it all sorted so everyone can see the lovely work we’re doing to make this place look swinging.

Now that so many things are falling into order I feel like I need to at least attempt to play music in a live situation.  It’s been such a long time since I’ve performed out on my own and I’m really itching to do so.  If you’re an awesome musician, you’re touring all the time, AND you’re reading this, I’d greatly appreciate you scooping me up and allowing me to play music with you.

much love. happy new year. double digit decade. damn.

years and years ago I was deeply in love with the mercury program.  I completely forgot about this group after I lost some of my cds years ago.  This is a jam off their new record.  If you ever listen to NPR then you’ll know this song. I had no idea that this was the same group I loved years ago. Thank you common market for reminding me about this group!
