only we can work it out

the greatest thing about putting together the upcoming show at the long center (in the rollins theatre on October 1!) is that i'm meeting all kinds of talented and inspiring people all over town. artists and performers and enthusiasts and scientists and entrepreneurs and go-make-it-happen kind of people. here are just a few fine recent inspirations:

The Rude Mechs
The Independent
The MDA

Getting Better All the Time

things got all scattered and broken for a bit out here on the rizzoad:
--mailing list signup site leads to Error page (try it now, though!)
--emails tumble into oblivion (yet to be rediscovered)
--guitar takes nasty spill on concrete
--Live at The Long Center inaccessible (it's back now, and better than ever)
--i could go on...

but, really, this trip has been amazing. i'm in the loving arms of peoria, illinois now. last night, the Romaniacs let me sit in on their set at the Red Barn. thanks, guys!
