Because some of you are reading this -- and also to relieve the sole-sucking boredom of the work-related writing I do -- I am going to try to post something every day. Or as close to it as humanly possible...

It's snowing in May in Kansas. In Vermont I expected it, here I am genuinely offended. I front-loaded my work week, missing out on nice weather earlier in the week.

Brought Celia to "Music Together" class this morning, she was pretty subdued. However, the teacher finally recognized a bit of her genius when she started arranging the toy drums into a drum-set. It made me nervous that she might be showing too much interest in the drums, this will need to be taken into consideration when house-hunting in case she ends up living in the basement until she is thirty-five.

But anyway, the teacher was impressed. Imagine if she had heard Celia's original composition "you be careful tiger"she was working on last night.

Busy Signal article in May 2013 issue of Terrorizer

With the re-release of the first Drowningman record, this blog is being mentioned in magazine articles and linked on websites. Since I haven't updated this in about three years, seems a fitting time to start.

I guess I have a few updates.

I did get married.

I am still living outside Kansas City. 

I did graduate from law school (Business and Transactional certificate earned "With Distinction.")

I did pass the bar. 

My wife and I are expecting our second daughter in 3 weeks. 

I do have a two-and-a-half year old daughter who inherited a very loud and piercing scream.

Life is pretty different on the surface than it was 15 years ago when that first Drowningman LP came out on Hydrahead. In a lot of ways, I am still the same person as I found out after spending a few months out of law school trying out jobs that made me miserable. 

I now work from home, consulting with businesses and have been lucky enough to add quite a few clients who are artists/writers/musician.

Javin and I got together to do an interview for Terrorizer in March when I was back in Vermont. It had been about a decade since we had hung out, talk did turn to playing music again, but we'll see if that comes to pass. We've talked a few times since I got back from our trip, and honestly it was just good to catch up with my friend.

So what have you been up to?

and

i'm getting married in 9 days. i haven't been posting anything on this but.. yeah. there is that.

the scheme demo re-re-upped

let's try this again

Scheme demo: re-up'd

Here

I will begin regularly posting again. I promise.

Since a handful of people have requested to read more of my jabbering... here it is.

Started my second year of law school yesterday. An abrupt shift from my summer routine, lost my wallet on the way to school, macbook would not turn on during my second class (battery/power cord issues). Neither was a big deal, someone turned in my wallet... I had dropped it in the parking lot of the gas station/taking my laptop to get looked at later.

Before my third and final class of the day, I was outside the front of the law school... chain smoking and catching up on the reading (our school's email system is down so I had not gotten the assignment.)

The last 5 or so pages were all charts and outlines which I wasn't sure if I needed to be reading for content or understanding how they were constructed.

So, I decide to ask (loudly) a nearby friend sitting on a bench across from me "did you actually read ALL of this?"

She gave me a strange look. I turned and saw out of my peripheral vision that the Prof. had just come up the steps and was standing right next to me. FML.

He stopped before going inside, turned to look at me and said "No, just look at the pictures."

Welcome back to law school.

updates soon: 

--I will re-up the Scheme demos this weekend as they have been down bc another site posted them and the traffic killed the link.

--I am also going to spend some time this weekend compiling a "Best of" of Drowningman songs (including an unreleased track if I can find it.) This is because too many of the people I have met in the past few years have only seen/heard that song from the last video. That song, content aside, sounds miserable due to mixing and mastering issues. Not how I would like it all to be remembered.
