Summer in Seattle makes me remember why being alive is so wonderful. It's a full court press against inertia and the animals wake me daily at dawn as though it is what nature intended. I've ditched the television set on the neighbors back porch and am currently wearing the valves of my hifi down to their last filament. The sun warms war worn celebrities as they drift unconscious into the event horizon and new-born babies are jettisoning their placentas like dandelion florets. The expanding universe marches on and yet I have no elbow room on the bus that now carries my weary old heart into brand new terriotry. Anyone with me? Here we go!

Saturday 2/7 Fantagraphics Book Store

In February of 2009, I was fortunate enough to be asked by my friend, Eric Reynolds from Fantagraphics Books, to play a quiet acoustic set a the Fantagraphics Bookstore to help celebrate the release of Esther Pearl Watson's wonderfully funny graphic novel, Unloveable. The book is hoot and so was the little party. Here are some videos shot during the informal and friendly event!

Self-titled solo album released in 1999, and Filament Dust, released in 2008 are available from CD Baby, iTunes and Amazon. I've actually found a couple boxes of each release I had stached away in storage. Ask for it in your local record store.
