The show last night at Jammin’ Java in Vienna was great, and we had a nice supporting act in Anousheh Khalili, a lovely and talented young singer/songwriter from my neck of the woods (q.v. “The Boonies”). Turns out her parents live about spitting distance from my house, so I’m sure …
My wife and I celebrated our eighth wedding anniversary on Wednesday, and got a (rare) grown-ups’ night out on the town, courtesy of Grandma (thanks Mom!). We went to see Matrix Revolutions and then to a nice dinner. The movie was decent, although not up to the instant-classic level of …
Did I mention that we are performing on Tuesday Nov. 11 at Jammin’ Java? NO? Well, isn’t that the darndest… at least now you know. Come out and give up some love. You’ll hear a few surprises, including new takes on some of our album cuts. And of course we’ll …
Oh man, sorry I haven’t written in over a week. I was sick for several days and then I just got busy. ? But here I am, back with not a whole lot to talk about except I’m awaiting the release of Fedora Core 1, for which I helped work …

Normally when people say something is a “scary movie,” my brain automatically inserts those little quote marks as they’re talking. The Ring was no scarier than an average episode of the Teletubbies, for instance. …
Elliott Smith – 1969-2003 – R.I.P. What can I say? The music world has lost an incomparable songwriter, who drew on his own personal struggles to write dark but wry reflections on relationships, and particularly the difficulties involved therein. While they may not have been strictly confessional, his songs were …
Tomorrow night (yes, another Sunday), you can catch me backing up ace songstress Leah Morgan, at IOTA Club & Cafe in Arlington. We will be debuting a couple of new original tunes. That’s right, this is one act not content to rest on its laurels. We are hopelessly devoted to …
Even if you’re a strict vegetarian, this should turn your stomach more than a plate of London broil.
