Last night was the monumental Denison Witmer cd release/tour kickoff show at The Fire in Philadelphia. Thanks to all of the people who came out to see Denison with Adam Arcurago and Audible. If you didn’t go to the show, Denison was joined by Steve Yutzy-Burkey on guitar/bass and Scott French (aka Psychotron) on drums. Philadelphia Songs finally made it through customs after subjecting both Denison and I to great amounts of stress. First, the cds were delayed because of the tragic flooding in Prague. Then, the cds arrived last Friday, just after customs closed for the three day weekend. Our shipment was lucky enough to be picked for a detailed inspection on Tuesday and then sat in a warehouse for three days awaiting inspection. After trying many different avenues, a Supervisor in customs had sympathy on our plight and arranged an inspection yesterday afternoon. Denison was able to arrive just in time to pick up the cds before the warehouse closed. For me, this was just the beginning of the excitement. I arrived at the show, quickly packed up several boxes and sent them off to our distributors, the kindly folks at Redeye. After the show, I hauled myself…

It’s been a long time since my last web log entry. Things have been extremely busy. I just returned from a last minute trip to Puerto Rico for work. Sadly, I missed out on The Six Parts Seven on Sunday and Kind of Like Spitting/Denison Witmer on Monday. Tragic, but Willis recorded it on minidisc, or so he claims. Last Friday was my birthday. I’m 29 now, for anyone keeping track. Denison Wimter cds are en route from the manufacturing plant. They are expected tomorrow or so. Keep preparing yourself for 24 September release date. These will be widely available in stores and will be available from Denison on his autumn tour dates. The live cds and booklets arrived from the manufacturing plant, but no covers yet. These should be printed next week and will also be ready from Denison on his tour. There is a lot of one-sided LP action happening, but the second in the series isn’t ready for release just yet. The Six Parts Seven and Ester Drang are in the studio today recording their songs. I’m praying for a settlement in baseball. By the way, after hovering near the bottom of Indie Rock baseball, I moved…
It was a busy weekend, but lots of excitement. Thanks to everyone who came out to see Ester Drang play. They left from Philadelphia last night to drive straight through to Oklahoma. They’re sadistic folks. My good friend Jeff Cloud (Starflyer 59, Velvet Blue Music) was also around this weekend for some general fun and rock goodness. It’s always good to have some old friends around. I glimpsed the beginnings of Yume Bitsu artwork for their one-sided LP. Adam promises that the music is being remixed and will arrive soon. I’m getting anxious for the next LP in the series to come out. Whichever is finished first. I’ve been working on LP artwork for Unwed Sailor and cleaning up the cd artwork for them to repress in time for their October European tour. I’m also anxiously awaiting the arrival of Denison’s cds from the manufacturing plant. I’m also hoping that there won’t be a baseball strike, but somehow feel that it’s inevitable. Very sad. :::scott:::
