Upcoming Gig – The BlackTails – Harrisburg Jazz Fest – Jul 4
I figure everyone’s got plans and/or will be nowhere near Harrisburg, PA this weekend, but I’m playing with The BlackTails at the 2010 Harrisburg Jazz and Multi-Cultural Festival. It’s going to be a long day, driving out and hitting and driving back. I lived near Harrisburg from 4th to 6th grade, so it [...]

I’ve got a really cool gig coming up this Sunday with TSS YUKONAUGHTICA and friends! Seafaring adventurer Reid Stowe returned to New York City today from his record-setting 1,152 day ocean voyage.

Let the Fans Vote on Perfect Game
So here’s what I would have told Bud Selig if he made that 3 AM call to me Wednesday night for advice on how to handle the situation surrounding the blown call that cost Armando Galarraga a perfect game. Okay, even if Bud would have called me, he probably would have waited til 10 AM [...]

But Beautiful Instant Recording Session
Here’s the video and recording from a session I played on Tuesday with the TSS Yukonaughtica crew. Guitarist Todd Colburn is creating a series of weekly recordings each recorded, mixed, edited, and released within 24 hours. I enjoyed the honor of participating in this week’s East Village basement recording of "But Beautiful":

Space Shuttle Atlantis Launch Videos
It’s been over 30 years since I carried lunch to school with a Space Shuttle Enterprise Lunch Box, but the launch videos are still incredibly exciting to watch. This is an HD video of Atlantis‘ second to last mission STS-129. (Kudos to the commentator for using the term penultimate.)

Blues #1
I stole the title of this post from a tune wrote in 1997, but really it’s about my first softball game with The Blues at Central Park today.
Everyone from last year’s team Heroes bailed this year, so I hit up Sean Taylor for a spot on his squad. These guys play all the time [...]
Facebook’s lame profile interests overhaul
Just because I don’t want a dog humping my leg doesn’t mean I’m not a dog person. Likewise, I enjoy Facebook, but I don’t want Mark Zuckerberg humping my leg. That’s the feeling I got today when my Facebook profile prompted me to convert my listed interests into links to Pages. This article explains the [...]

Welcome Back, Softball!
Yesterday, I played my first softball since last August, and boy am I sore! The fine folks of the Magnet Theater reserved time at Whitey Ford Field, a baseball-sized field right on the waterfront in Astoria.
Everyone was really cool and had a super fun time. We finished the first game early, so played [...]

Earth Day with The Lorax
The Lorax was one of my favorite top three books as a child, and I suspect played a large role in my interest in the environment as an adult. With Earth Day on my mind, I searched YouTube for The Lorax not expecting to find anything (someone keeps the Internet fairly scoured clean of [...]
