It feels like ages since my last post, even though I’ve tried to keep it up with some links to some good dorkery. Today is spent in the bus, driving the 735 miles from Denver to Columbia, MO. We left at 9 this morning and have made a small dent in Kansas, but we’ll most likely be rolling in around midnight or so tonight. So here goes…
Yesterday was spent at the Mile High Music Festival in Denver, one of our hometowns. It was kind of a strange lineup - us, Ani, Ben Harper, Tool, Panic, Black Keys, India Arie. Sort of like a festival we do all the time, but not exactly. I can’t explain it without sounding like I’m getting down on the festival, but it was sorta like Rothbury without all the vibe.

I’m very excited about it.

Pardon my lack of anything interesting to say, but my creative fire seems to go in cycles. I’ve had to venture into the woods for more firewood lately, and will hopefully have more to say one of these days.
