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…
I’ve been working on an Unwed Sailor poster for their October European tour. That’s the official excitement these days. I’m anxiously awaiting the Philadelphia Songs cds form the factory and some posters to promote the album and tour. Today, I’ve been listening to the new full-lengths from Kind of Like Spitting and Seldom, both of which are highly recommended releases. I forgot to mention that during my flight into Allentown, PA on Sunday, I sat next too one of the members of Shaggy’s backup band. Many other members were also on the flight, but, alas, no Shaggy. I guess you could call it a minor rock star sighting. Are you preparing yourself for the touring assault of Denison Witmer and The Trouble with Sweeney? They are starting a leg of their autumn tours together. We’ll get the good word of rock out to the masses yet. Enjoy the ride. :::scott:::
