Bloody Frig

September 8, 2010

I have so much to tell you, dear reader, and what seems like so little time.  So much writing to do. So (for now) I’ll just give you the short version.  Inasmuch as that’s possible for this blogger with a penchant for verbosity. Excellent weekend.  Long one.  I took last Wednesday through Friday off from [...]

Oh Yeah, We Brought It.

August 25, 2010

What’s that, you ask (dear reader)?  Why, the awesomeness, of course.  Neither my sister Katie nor I forgot to bring the awesomeness to the Apocalyptica show last night.  Which was very important, because whoever put the show together did just that.  Forget to bring the awesomeness, that is. Oh, Apocalyptica rocked the house in a [...]

What a Weekend.

June 21, 2010

This was a helluva weekend, dear reader.  Friday night I blew everyone off and read 150 pages of a new book.  Saturday morning, Scott and I hiked Doubletop and Graham.  Graham did not, this time, take a chunk out of my eye.  Yay.  Here’s the link to the full trip report on this site (which [...]

DJ y Cello

June 15, 2010

Ok, we’re live at The Red Fish (158 Bleecker St NY NY) – for those of you who speak French, that’s “Le Poisson Rouge”. Greg “Cosmo D” Heffernan of Smoothe Moose Lanoratories & Recordings fame is kicking it on his cello & Mac and a couple of DJs are mixing shit up on their Macs [...]

Weekend Plans

April 5, 2010

I’m not sure if this is good or not:  it’s Monday evening and my weekend is booking out pretty quickly.  I think I’m going to make an appointment with myself on Sunday to do “not a damned thing.”  Better pencil that in to the ole Outlook.  Or MobileMe.  Or whatever.  Just try not to forget, [...]

Flogging Molly, inter alia

March 2, 2010

Tomorrow night (Tuesday) I’ll be at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC to see Flogging Molly.  I’m going to guess that this will be the sixth or so show of theirs I’ve attended.  I haven’t listened to any of their albums in pretty much forever, though.  I’m not even sure if I can tell you which [...]

I Have a Left-Handed Johnson

February 11, 2010

I need a new bass.  I just spent about a hundred bucks getting the one I have tuned up a few months ago.  I think I bought the damned thing (close to 10 years ago) for $120 (amp included).  It’s a total piece of crap, but it’s a Johnson, strung lefty.  I’ve always enjoyed looking [...]

#SmootheMoose & Fruitcakes

February 10, 2010

My writing this evening has already been completed:  I spent myself in a long-ish email to Didi.  Sorry, dear reader, there isn’t much left for you.  “Tomorrow, tomorrow,” as Annie sez. In the meantime, I invite you to check out the recent Free Music Monday Post over at Mashable:  my buddies over at Smoothe Moose [...]

#iPhone Blues and #Metallica

November 16, 2009

Ok, so it’s totally 2AM on Monday morning and I have to be at work in just about no time at all.  I skipped the second day of WordCamp NYC today so that I could clean, do laundry, and finish up writing the copy for the website I started on Tuesday.  The former and mesne [...]

Death To All But Metal

October 9, 2009

YAY TINITUS!! I saw Steel Panther tonight with my cousin Dan and his cousin David – Katie couldn’t make it because she had a fever. There was, sadly, a definite lack of awesomeness at the show as a result of my sister not being there.  Such a dearth, I might add, that I can’t help [...]
