i don't really feel like writing right now, but i'm forcing myself. i've been away from my diary for over 3 months and i used to be regularly writing in it. shame shame. how can i expect my brain to remain creative, when i'm not exercising it in this way? i can't. and how can i expect regular readers to return to this page if i'm not updating it with something new? i can't!
so i don't want to write about the weather, which is still bloody cold. and i don't want to write about the war, which is still bloody. (and still going on, 5 years later.) so i'm going to write a brief announcement of 2 upcoming shows that might interest you.
Tomorrow night, Wednesday, March 19 at 7PM, i'm participating in what i'm sure will be an enlightening evening about the current war that we're debacle-ing. Come by Govans Presby Church at 5828 York Road for some speeches by former soldiers, some music and some comaraderie. i don't believe there's a cover charge, but you'll learn something and connect with some like minded folks.
Then, on Sunday, March 30th at the 8x10 Club, 8-10 Cross Street, Baltimore, MD, at 5PM, come to listen to music and support the National Kidney Foundation (who helped Patrick Kisicki successfullly receive his brother, Kevin's, kidney 3 years ago!) Tickets are $22 and all the bands are donating their time and energies to support this cause. Click here for more information.
at the Folk Alliance i learned something really truly valuable: that for the working musician today, 90% of your time is spent doing administrative work. Stacey Earle and Mark Stuart were speaking and i was in the audience, when she dropped this little pearl of wisdom. Yes, i'd thought about it before, but the way she said it was important. She said "it's time to stop bitching about that and just hunker down and do it." So i'm not quite done bitching about it, but i'm going to hunker down and do it.
