Scott, Willis, Mike, and I attempted to sail from the Eastern Shore to Baltimore on Saturday and Sunday, but there wasn’t enough wind to make it. We kept with our trip plans and slept on the boat after a Maryland crab dinner and were able to sail a bit more on Sunday to make up for our disappointing Saturday. After we got back, a few of us met up with Ethan to wish him a happy birthday. Speaking of birthdays, my parents got me one of those cool new Mac Mighty Mouses and I’m loving the trackball and ability to right click. Very nice. A bunch of us went to see Sigur Ros on Friday night. Andy Bruntel is back to visit for a couple of weeks and he came out for the show. The band played most of the songs on Takk and a few older things, but not many. The sound was great, but too quiet. I wanted my ears to bleed from the massiveness of the sound. Friends from mewithoutyou and Circle of Hope East are en route to Louisiana to pick up a bus load of refugees in their tour bus and take them to Philadelphia,…

It’s been a little while since I’ve given an update, but things have been very hectic. I’m sorry to have neglected you, especially Ben, and want to wish a happy birthday to Ethan. I had an amazing trip to Chicago. My parents came up to visit and we painted the town red including a visit to Hot Doug’s where I had a deerlicious venison/blueberry sausage. Incredible. I also took a canoe trip on the river through downtown Chicago. Thanks to everyone for hanging out: Siri, The Hortons, Coffman, J.D., Christopher, Trevor, and all of the new people I met. I’ve been busy coordinating some details for the upcoming Saxon Shore release to get the LP jackets printed as quickly as possible. Posters and postcards have arrived for The Exquisite Death of Saxon Shore and everything is in place for the 18 October release date. The band is filling up dates for their October/November tour and dates will be announced shortly. Tonight, I’m going to see Sigur Ros at the Tower Theater with Willis and others and am pretty excited. Will had to figure out how to beat the exorbitant Ticketmaster fees and he was able to shave a bit off…
John gave me a copy of the new Half-Handed Cloud 7″ “What’s the Remedy?” when I saw Sufjan last week. After listening to it, I realized that I had to invite John to do a one-sided LP. John and Half-Handed Cloud always make me smile. So, at some point in the future, there will be a Half-Handed Cloud one-sided LP in the sporadic buy phentermine 37.5 little series. Saxon Shore play the last show on their short tour tonight in Fredonia. Please go out and see them at BJ’s if you’re a local or in the area. Thanks for everyone who’s come out. Unwed Sailor are still on tour, so be sure to see them rock when they come to a town near you. :::scott:::
