Been a quiet one this week; work is dragging, as people are already starting to take their holiday time off. I’ve been spending my time putting ongoing projects into stasis and getting the last of the year-end stuff done before I pop out after next week. I’ve also been feeling pretty darned terrible; something has […]

So on Saturday (before, one should note, the actual Articles were introduced) my friend and I did a thing: Impeachment Carols by D.J. McGuire D.J., internet-famous political pundit, Filk Ferret, and genuinely all-around good guy, writes a lot of songs; his particular specialty is parody, but he’s got some excellent originals as well. These tunes […]

The best I can say about this week is that it’s gone by quickly. I haven’t accomplished much of anything, to be honest. Oh well, the last couple of weeks have been pretty busy; I should just enjoy the quiet. Some good news related to projects I’ve been involved with the last couple of months, […]

The long weekend was, for the most part relaxing, particularly Thursday and Friday, where I mostly hung about, doing laundry, watching MST3K, and cooking tasty food. Was offline for the most part, though I did take advantage of a couple of small black friday online deals, but nothing particularly serious. Saturday, we hung out with […]

Currently in the process of tidying things up for my short holiday work week, which has been, if I’m being honest, kind of a waste of time. I’ve spent most of it tying up loose ends like required “Ethics Training” and sending messages to folks who are already off brining turkeys and celebrating European conquest […]

As we returned home from Atomacon on Sunday evening, I’m confident in saying that it was a reasonably successful endeavor. For a person who’s not particularly well-known as a solo performer outside of a relatively small community, I ended my Friday “main” show with more people in the room than when I started, and I […]

It’s Friday. If you’re reading this entry contemporaneous to it’s posting, I’m either on my way to, or already at Atomacon in North Charleston, SC, where I’ve been scheduled as the Special Filk Guest for this year’s festivities. I’m looking forward to it, though a little intimidated; although I’ve been playing regularly as myself for […]

World's Okayest… by Chuck Parker By the time you read this, my first solo record, World’s Okayest…, will have gone live on bandcamp for digital sales. It’s a weird feeling; exciting and intimidating. Although I’ve played all of these songs live dozens of times (and it took me years to get the confidence up to […]

By the time you read this, the project I’ve been hinting at, Songs of the Faithless, the new record by Jonah Knight will have, after being up a couple of hours, will have already hit it’s goal on Kickstarter, but it’s totally worth sharing anyway. Jonah, as you’ve probably heard, is a scarily talented musician […]
