They say April showers bring May flowers. In the case I witnessed this morning, the showers came in the form of snow and May’s flowers were a bit stunted. What kind of bizarre turn of events is this?!? Yesterday, Amy and I worked our booths at the “Art on the Square” festival in Gainesville. It… Continue reading April Showers

Greetings from A Far Away Land
It’s sort of funny – that me and nahnu.org have sort of a meme on this. If you read the post from my birthday, you’ll know I randomly wished people “Happy Birthday” in the blogosphere on my birthday. It turns out that it was very rewarding, socially speaking. I made some people’s days, and got… Continue reading Greetings from A Far Away Land
2005 and All’s Well
In spite of the latest horrid events and natural disasters, the new year is here and appears to be sticking around for the moment. The sky over my head is blue and mostly cloudless; certainly a sign of serenity here. We celebrated with Gainesville’s First Night event on the downtown square. The weather has been… Continue reading 2005 and All’s Well
Thanksgiving Day
It’s Thanksgiving Day in the United States. Another one of those holidays that probably only has any significance to Americans. Although this is a time that we’re supposed to be thankful for the things the Indians did for us in allowing helping Pilgrims to survive, we mainly just gorge ourselves with turkey, stuffing (a bread-crumb… Continue reading Thanksgiving Day
Most Excellent!
I had a really great time with everyone that showed up to drum tonight. Although the coldest night we’ve been outside this year, it was probably the most energetic. Matt and I didn’t even realize how cold it was until it was all over and we were standing up. The knees get a little stiff… Continue reading Most Excellent!
Drumming Tonight
If you’re in the neighborhood, I’ll be drumming on the square in Gainesville again around 8:00pm. It should be a good time, even it is a little cold. No rain in the forecast, so that’s good. As always, we’ll have some extra seats and drums if you don’t one to bring.
Rhythm Downtown
Yet another successful night of drumming on the square in Gainesville. We had a great crowd tonight, and continued to see new people right up until we left. As my friend, David, pointed out, I have been up now for 19 hours. He wasn’t too sure that I’d have the drive to complete a long… Continue reading Rhythm Downtown
Drumming in Gainesville (Cont.)
I’m just getting home from our session on the square this evening. Balthazar (who’s 1.5 years old as of this writing), insisted on staying up the entire time. Last time he fell out after a couple of hours. This time he remained pretty lively – though walking like a drunk – and he played drums… Continue reading Drumming in Gainesville (Cont.)
Drumming in Gainesville (Again)
I’m going to be on the square in Gainesville if you want to drop by and give it a listen. We did this a few weeks back and had a great success. There’s food and coffee nearbye (including spirits at The Brickhouse), so you won’t be out of touch with your more basic needs. My… Continue reading Drumming in Gainesville (Again)
Dragon*Con – Sunday
We finally returned home this morning around 4:00am. I don’t remember the last time I was out that late – probably when I was in school. We had a killer time. The masquerade was, as always, better than last year’s. The costumers continue to better themselves and put together amazing works. We’re wondering what happens… Continue reading Dragon*Con – Sunday
