Another amazing night of amazingness amazinging. Melissa Plumlee is there, being the bad influence.
This is one of those moments where everything just clicks. At least, I’m going to make a guess here, because really I don’t remember much.

So. 2012. I’m going to commit to getting my 3D animation lern on. Music? Oh it’s there, but I think I’ve spent so much time (wasted?) recording and re-recording ideas that I’m not really driven to finalize – and a big part of that is that, well, I’ve got other things I’m interested in. I still love to play, love to record, and love the IDEA of writing, but I’ll be honest with you, I don’t think I’ve really written a complete song in maybe 3 years. I’ve written maybe 35 ideas that have kind of sort of almost been complete, but in the end, I lose interest. And I always think to myself, “well, shit, I’ve got so many songs I’ve already written, just re-do THOSE things you idiot”.
SO that’s where I’m at.
Digging through the vault, picking out some rare finds, polishing them up, and then going on to learn some 3D animation because I’ve always wanted to.
That’s what I am. Short attention spa HEY IS THAT A NICKEL.

I’m trying to get just a little bit ahead of the curve this year.
FESTIVALS. They’re awesome fun to play, but a nightmare to try to book. See. You (me) are (is) up against hundreds of other bands, trying to get into only a limited number of slots. And the other bands – there’s tons of them that are great, but I’m pretty sure the vast majority of them are forgettable.
Just like me.
The only difference is that they’ve put together (or HAD somebody put together) an amazing press kit/promo bio thing with lots of sparkle and finish. And for some reason, I never do that. It could be because I’m not organized, or too busy having fun and not paying attention to the business side, or hell I don’t know.
But that’s what it is. I need to remedy that. Time to go sign back up for sonicbids.com and start putting some amazing stuff together. And to begin managing this website, and doing less facebook mindless shit.
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BUSINESS in 2012. Business Time.

Another fantastic production from Mike Estes, cameraman extraordinaire.
This was at Darwin’s Burgers and Blues, with Kirk Plunkett on bass, Dave Rich on drums and Melissa Plumlee on backing vocals.
Here’s some production notes for you kids who might ask:
2010 Les Paul Traditional into a Marshall Haze 40 with a Z-Fex Box of Rock for boost. Kirk’s playing one of them 90′s hippie basses, and Dave Rich is playing some drums. Great notes hunh?
The liquor for the night was Tuaca. And wow, that’s the demon water right there.

Now. THESE? See. Once upon a time, I kind of took a photo of me when I was a lot drunk. The photo SOOO engrossed me I decided to make it into an Art Project. Of sorts.

The incredible Mikel Estes makes some of the greatest live videos. Love his work. Especially when it’s focusing on me.
