Crunko De Mayo!!

Hey Soul Mates,
the Dodgers and their fireworks rocked tonight. So does the hair cut. I had a good time getting the do done. Monica outdid herself. And we had fun when she feathered it for a moment and I did my Travolta '77 impression ("Don't hit my hair!"). I also talked to Chaz Dean about shooting our next round of pix. He's a real pro and has a great eye and feel for so much. We shared thoughts about the direction we are taking and our goals. It could be a really nice collaboration photographically speaking.

The Dodgers... ah. The beloved blue and white socked it to the Rockies. After 4 1/2 innings of a pitchers' duel, which I love, the Dodgers opened up on Colorado and jumped out to a 5-0 lead. After a prolonged top o' the ninth, Yhency Brazoban got the last out and the Dodgers prevailed. The fireworks (for Cinco De Mayo) were very good as usual. That crew at the Stadium really know how to put on a show. Lots of latin/spanish language music, but only half of it was Mexican. But who's counting. They did slow it down a bit with that beautiful ballad from Motorcycle Diaries. Bravo.

Have a peaceful Sunday. Don't forget, Mother's Day is a week away.
Love, Power, Peace

Ahh, The Weekend

Hey Soul Mates,
it's been a long week. Still more ups than downs. The big ups are all of our new friends on MySpace and on the music scene. Saw good shows from the Piper Downs and Get Licious. All our new additions on MySpace are helping us spread the love. Thanks a bunch, cuzzins.

I finally got some knee advice from my brother Nate. The Ace knee brace bandage really helps. I'm trying to upload a picture of us in our bowling mode. Post-Injury. Not an action shot, but about as unglamorous as you'll ever see us. Ha Ha. We look like some alternate universe cast of Big Lebowski.

This afternoon, I'm off to get the haircut. Gotta pamper myself sometimes. I've been going to the same gal for about a year now. So, if you like the way my hair looks, I give Monica all the credit. If you don't it's probably because I did something to it afterwards. She's at Chaz Dean's studio in Hollywood. Chaz's group of stylists does a lot celebrity styling for award shows, TV, etc. You never know who might be there when you go (including me).

Darn, still can't get the dashboard to accept this bowling picture. Wait... There we go!!!! Check us out in all of our relaxed, yet banged up parts glory. Doug has already told me "no more bowling for you." I guess everyone wants to see me jumping around on stage next Saturday.



After the hair cut it's directly off to Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers are hosting the Rockies and after the game it's Cinco De Mayo Fireworks. Can't wait till we get a chance to perform the National Anthem at a game.
Time to eat something.

Love, Power, Peace

A Quick Note

Hey Soul Mates,
Last night we went to watch the Dodgers lose to the D'Backs. It was another sellout for , but nothing for the win column.

Looks like Adam Marsland will be able to join us for a show in June. That will give us that much more time to fine tune the set with his accompaniment. We are planning on adding a few new songs to the set the next couple of shows. Which is exciting for everyone.

The knee is still a little tricky after the "bowling incident" last Friday. Phwew. I'm so used to walking, jogging and the cross country running that it's a bit off-putting. I probably won't be jumping around too much next week, but I'll do my best for you.

All for now. And Constantine was robbed.
Love, Power, Peace

Tuesday Night Round Up

Hey Soul Mates,
we're just back from Monroe's in Beverly Hills to check out Get Licious. They are a pretty funky group. We'll be appearing with them in 2 upcoming shows. The scene was a lot of fun. Lots of pretty people and poorly dressed pretty people and oddly dressed pretty people. Matt from Get Licious and I had traded e-mails about our bill at the GIG on May 7, so it was cool to get to meet him. They are not so different from ourselves in their pursuit of greater success. Really refreshing.

Last night, we went to the Gig to see our old friends the Piper Downs and they played a hellacious set. They sounded really tight and the vocals were upfront in the mix. Nice to hear their 3 part harmonies for the first time in a couple of shows.

[Don't forget to mark your calendars for May 7. It's RHS @ 8:30, followed by Get Licious @ 10:30. We have complimentary tickets and/or you can e-mail me to be on the guest list and get in for FREE. The cover is $10, but we are glad to pass the savings on to you. That means we are playing the show for free. So if you are in town, show your love. Drop me a line, then hustle down to the show!]

Love, Power, Peace
