What’s new?

It’s been a while since I dropped an update on my blog.  Playing in the band had been taking a lot of my time.  We did a bit of traveling, and like most bands have some incredible stories from those trips.  It sounds like we will be winding down for the summer, and to be honest I really need a break.  One last show booked right now, May 23rd at the Beer Depot Lounge in Denver, it is a long story–we were booked at another place and things got messed up.  Five bands which translated into a 30 minute set, less pay than promised, and some other things that I wouldn’t mention on a public website.  Anyways, it’s my birthday, so come down and celebrate with me!  Info here.

For the time being I am experimenting with a website I found: kompoz.com.  Pretty fun site, allows songwriters and musicians to collaborate over the Internet.

I am also planning on an experiment using a couple of “Rock Band” drum kits for the Wii and an assortment of tubing to create a midi-capable drum kit for fooling around on.  I will post pictures and maybe some video (you really don’t want to watch me play drums, really) once I get it working.

I also see that I have more than 1500 comments waiting for approval, so if you dropped a note recently sorry–it was lost in the deluge of spam.  It should be appearing soon!
