Merry Christmas!

That’s what it looked like in our house.  From ours to yours, we wish you the Merriest.  Christmas.  Ever.

Right place, Right time.

Yes, it’s true.  I just got an email from the best bass player who ever lived.  Tommorrow night Nina and I will be partying with Mike Watt and Iggy Pop.  God, I love this city.

Just busy, gotta deadline.  See you as soon as I catch my breath.

Tempest in a Teapot.

(”Windstorm” by Dave Devries, from Upper Deck’s Vs. System)
