I saw a fantastic singer/songwriter on Thursday night at IOTA. If you haven’t bought his new album “The Unstudied Sea,” you are missing out on one of the best written efforts I’ve ever heard. If Elliott Smith and Elvis Costello performed a horrible secret genetic experiment in the bowels of …
Show tonight at IOTA… are you coming?
I’m so falling down on the job these days blog-wise. Spent a lot of time with my daughter this weekend, which was a lot of fun. We also visited my dad and his fiancee (they just announced their engagement last weekend at Evie’s third birthday party) in Georgetown, which was …
Leah and I will be performing this evening (5:00-7:00) at George Mason University. Then, to double your weekly pleasure, on Friday we’ll be at the Mudhouse in Charlottesville, VA. Strangely, I’m not even sure yet what kind of venue the GMU gig is, but if you’re in the C’ville area, …

Trying to set up some of our servers at our new office… many annoyances today, mostly caused by a lethargic RAID. I’ll get it whipped into shape shortly. Couldn’t muster the energy to post anything yesterday due to a late night watching the Oscars on Sunday night. I was overjoyed …
I had a great time yesterday hitting the various parts of the town with Leah. We performed first at the Warehouse Cafe in D.C., and then followed that up with a bout of shopping at Guitar Center. If you knew Leah, you would realize this is a Big Deal and …
