It’s Friday, and it’s long overdue. Sleep has still been fitful all week thanks to all kinds of stressful crap, but you know, I’m dealing. For all the crap being thrown my way, I’m mostly dealing with it to the point where I don’t always *look* like I’m on the edge of cracking to those […]

So, traditionally (if not so much lately), Friday has been “random ten” day around these parts, where I run a playlist of ten tunes at random off of the record collection/mp3 player/streaming app/whatever I have around and occasionally comment on them. Not doing that today, though I will toss out this week’s interesting musical discovery. […]

Twas a somewhat busy weekend, though it was the kind of busy that helped me temporarily put aside some weekday stressors for at least a little while. Hopefully I’ll be able to kick them forward at least a couple of steps (if not resolve them) in the next couple of days, to make room for […]

I learned this morning that, depending on which CD was passed on, “Weird” Al Yankovic may indeed own a recording of me playing several instruments, as well as a photo of me on stage playing bass with The Blibbering Humdingers. This is both very cool, and very intimidating. Mostly, I hope he likes it, if […]

I don’t have any particularly profound things to share, but the space feels empty, and I have a few minutes. Oh look, it’s June. Life is life, really…moving along, slow and steady, generally not particularly noteworthy. Employment is employment: I’ve been at this particular chapter for five months and change now; it’s mostly paying the […]

So, ConCarolinas was a pretty good experience, on balance. We played some pretty damned good shows, if I do say so myself (and I do), our CD sounds really good, and people really seemed to dig the new stuff. I also got to meet one of my favorite modern authors (and made him laugh with […]

If you’re near Charlotte NC this weekend, I’ll be playing Concarolinas with “Special Musical Guests” The Blibbering Humdingers. We’ve got two big shows Friday and Saturday, plus we’ll probably be goofing off playing music, meeting the public, and selling merch and whatever most the weekend, with our friends Mikey Mason, Valentine Wolfe, and Hawthorn and […]

Something hit the internets yesterday that’s too exciting not to share, so I’m sharing. Remember the post of April 14 wherein I talked about making some neat things? Those neat things are now available for pre-order on bandcamp. Behold, the latest record from The Blibbering Humdingers, Raised By Nerds: The whole business is quite a […]

couple of great shows with the Blibbering Humdingers, getting to see some good friends (a couple of whom I met in real life for the first time), and not spending a whole bunch of money…I’m calling it a pretty good con. That said, things felt a bit off this year at Ravencon – it looked […]

If you’re not doing anything this weekend, and happen to be within spitting distance of Richmond, come on down to RavenCon, my hometown sci-fi convention! There’s plenty to do, from gaming to shopping to hobnobbing with with authors and artists both famous and up-and-coming, and of course…music. Once again, I’ll be sitting in with The […]
