Last One?

I've been thinking about retiring this blog. I haven't really felt the need to keep it going lately. Maybe I'll try to break it back in anyway.

I've been pretty busy lately. Yesterday I spent 6 hours a recording studio near Blackhawk together with Tammy Yurich and Mike Music. With the help of Ron Dropcho we recorded an album worth of music a day. I can't wait to hear the mixdowns. I will post some of it online once it's polished and clipped up.

Two days ago I ran the Denver Half Marathon. I did it in about two hours which was my goal. My legs still hurt a little, but I don't think I did any permanent damage so that's good.

This coming Thursday I'm going to play a short solo concert at Swallow Hill. I played their open stage last week, and they invited me to come play in a little 20 minute set for a showcase thing together with 4 or 5 other performers. The show starts at 7:00 and cost $7, but I don't know when my set is. I'm playing a Halloween show in Winter Park with Hunker Down. We haven't played together in a while, so it will be a fun reunion. I played a couple little private parties last weekend in the mountains, and I'm happy that my music schedule seems to be regaining momentum.

As far as grad school goes, I'm over the hump and in the home stretch. I have a little over a month before the end of this semester.

I'm also going my girlfriend to Mexico in two weeks for my friend Abe Drucker's wedding. It's a "destination wedding" in Cabo San Lucas. I'm really looking forward to that weekend.

In other news, I'm working on a radio jingle for Curbside Recycling, a company that my friend Jesse McWilliams created. Once I finish it, it will play on KCMV 106.3 FM. Here's Jesse's website if you're interested in recycling in Grand County: http://www.curbsidegrandcounty.com/

Lots to look forward to lately. Thanks for keeping up with me here.
