conjectural navel gazing; jesus in lint form

live, from three pear studios

Today I am blogging from Three Pear. I have gotten to know the owner and he needed some help. So, this morning I am playing host to a group using the space. It is not hard...nor does it take very long. I make small change, but get to use the internet as long as I am not in the way. This is a good trade as far as I am concerned.

In related news, One of the Girls will be recording our first CD here on Tuesday. We will spend nine hours in the studio. I am sure our relationships will be tested to no end, but thus is the joy of recording. The album will include Irish stuff for the most part. We might throw a little bluegrass on it as well. We have been rehearsing for the last couple of weeks focused on just this project. I am excited. When it is all pretty and such, I will let you know. There will be free mp3's. If we can figure out how, we will set it up so one can download the entire album from our website.

Oh, and the band is playing yet another theater benefit. The Chicago Dramatists have enlisted our aid. It seems we may have found a niche market. The benefit is on Saturday at their address. We begin at 6:45 and play for an hour. There has been a little phone tag strife, so I do not know what the tickets to the benefit cost. It appears to ba an ad hoc event. But if you are wantin' a Girls fix, give them a call and come on by.

Trish's new show opens this evening. Parody does not even begin to describe it.

SIX twisted tales of terror and suspense that will take you to another dimension where laughter and fear walk hand and hand, meeting at the oh-so-familiar corner of Parody and Homage, where your favorite episodes of Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone and Night Gallery collide, resulting in yet another twisted Hell in a Handbag vehicle.

The Twilight Gallery includes six rotating episodes, five authors, six directors and a cavalcade of familiar and new talent, and features Michael Miller* as Rod Sterling Silver, your guide for the evening.

These are late night shows...usually brief. The tech week for the shows has been brutal. Thus, my lovely wife has been getting home between to and three in the morning this week. She's sleep deprived in all kinds of new ways. I am assuming that she will begin to mainline caffeine soon.

There is much more to report.

Amy is off to Palestine. She is keeping a blog of her experiences. You need to check it out. She is with the Christian Peacemaker Teams doing good work.

Tonight we celebrate the natal day of Spud. She is a brilliant woman...one of my favorites. I am looking forward to hanging out with her this evening. There will be food, geekiness, and general birthday hijinks. Good times.

And with that, I bid you all adieu. I'll see you all later.
