crap. the coffee isn't working.

i guess that goes with the territory of living a double life, with my rockstar doppelganger beating up on my prim and proper 9-5 persona. i always appreciate the juxtaposition of the two worlds, where each informs the other and adds a little spice or a little order do my life. i think the thing that really keeps me going is the hope that each, in its own way, makes me better at what i do. life has many lessons, and those i learn onstage aren't lost when i'm faced with an otherwise daunting presentation or interview. if i were a superhero, i wonder which would be my secret identity...

bottomless cup at dominican joes

Closing Out One2One

Sunday, March 21, 2010

I would make a miserable mormon because they don't believe in coffee. Coffee is pretty much my god.

What a day!

Ladies and Gentlemen, this one is going to be a doozy. On the final day of a wild south by southwest, I'll be playing a solo showcase tonight at 8 p.m. sharp playing my original tunes (with some new ones thrown in there for good measure). Following that, I'll be stepping back on stage on screaming electric guitar and backing vocals to support my good friend Lucas Cook at 11 p.m. THEN I'll be resplendently roaring back to stage at 1 a.m. for my full band showcase, backed up by the Incidents. This will all take place at One2One bar downtown.

We would be privileged if you could attend. And if you come to the 1 a.m. show, let's end the wildest south by ever with an exclamation point rather than an ellipsis...

But of course, next week we'll be back in regular action with gigs on Tuesday and Thursday nights at Six Lounge and Saturday happy hour at the Thirsty Nickel. So really, the fun never ends.

Straight from Tom Waits

“I think everyone believes in something. Even people who don’t believe in anything believe that.”

"We are monkeys with money and guns."

Great show last night!

Thanks to all those who made it out. Got some more fun ahead with an incidents show at six lounge 9-12 tomorrow, followed by a sxsw showcase bonanza at One2One bar pretty much all night on Sunday. Stay tuned!
