Merry Xmas to me


1976, Hughes Aircraft module inside, NOS.
Yeah.

Preoccupied

NYC/NJ Nov 2k8











Four-day whirlwind Thanksgiving trip. From top: Visions of loveliness Arielle and Vicki, the brilliant, beautiful and photogenic KG (and the decidedly less beautiful and photogenic I), rock n' roll übergeek overlord Richard Factor in a serious moment in his office at Eventide.

London Punkt


















For those not familiar with the Punkt Festival concept, briefly it's this:
One artist/group does a performance in the "main" space and then right afterwards,
another artist/group does a remix of said performance in front of the same crowd who saw the first one, in another room. So we did a remix of someone else's concert which (in my opinion) felt better and more interesting to me than our own concert. Weird.
Photos: Guy Sigsworth, a very knackered me and Mileece, right after the end of the whole thing, a West London nighttime view from Guy's studio, the excellent and unique
Helge Norbakken playing drums at soundcheck and me in direct sunlight at the home of some longtime family friends.

What to do when too tired and jetlagged for much else.

Czech the wackiness


This would be just another nice, modern radio/tv tower in Prague, if it weren't for the GIANT BLACK PLASTIC BABIES CLIMBING UP IT.

More Evidence

...and we're done with this lil' jaunt.
Top to bottom: "Stabbing or bludgeoning, sir?" at a castle entrance,
the venue, another view of one of the many castles in Prague,
a junk shop window, an interestingly-named energy drink,
a soundcheck photo, yet another castle view and another soundcheck shot.

This particular story so far...






















On tour in EU for the nth time. As of now: Oslo, Torino, Reggio Emilia and tonight,
Manerbio. Soon: Prague, Warsaw. Highlights thus far include the group itself
(the great J.A. Deane is back with JH for the first time in 20 years, and this trio
config works well) and of course, Italian food. Lowlights have mostly to do with airlines, as per usual. May they all die.

Never saw this before....

...Interesting to see a trailer for a film so deeply-ingrained in one's consciousness for the first time.

Make your own nostalgia- It's fun and easy to do!

Somehow, it all got compressed down to this. At least for now.

It was a fairly long time between the realization that one can make it happen anywhere, and the realization that when it comes to "anywhere", more is more.

greetings from the eye of the storm

This is a blog update























A week in Norway. Lost luggage (never recovered), rain, installations by JH and BE,
food and a whole bunch of concerts, ours included.
Photos: Bustling metropolis Kristiansand during the day, the church bells that were processed by JH for his installation piece, some moments from Brian's "77 Million Paintings for Punkt"
installation.

Scandinaviosity Redux...










...hopefully not National Lampoon's Norwegian Vacation.
I don't know why I post gear pr0n before I go places (and in this case
it's not even SEZY gear pr0n) but here it is again, for lack of anything else photo-worthy at this point. Actually, stuff is happening but none of it is yet ready for these pages. So this will have to do for the moment. More over the course of this coming week...

Nothing else exists.

Thanks for the concern everyone, but this is the second
earthquake I've missed. Last time, I was in the shower.
This time, asleep. I guess this means that with the law of
averages, I'll be present and correct when the big one hits.
For the moment, I'm busy.

Buzz...









This looks promising...

..and since I'm now fixated (again):

In case you're 12 years old and/or were born in a barn,
here's some background.
Tangentially-related: You'll probably end up
reading this eventually.

Why it would be nice to have ridiculous amounts of money...


Not the sort of thing I'd normally post or even think about, but this speaks for itself.
