Tonight marks an important tradition in my family- the first showing of Pee Wee’s Playhouse Christmas Special. We watch it multiple times every holiday season. And sometimes in July.

Attended my first Monterey Jazz Festival yesterday. Really impressed with the quality of vendors, scope of music. A 50th birthday celebration for my good friend Ian

I finally received my replacement cymbal for the one I cracked after years of gigging. Trolled Reverb until one in my price range appeared. Buying cymbals online is always a gamble, but this one paid off. The 3rd 20” Paiste Giant Beat I’ve owned.

How funny would it be if everyone got this tee and wears it in Sac?!

Just sayin…we’d all rather be at the Oakland Coliseum!

The sky is really pretty rn.

Sun is setting beneath the rain clouds and the colors are lovely.

My daughter’s latest catch phrase has everyone in the house saying it. Used as a general protestation, or when any conversation becomes argumentative:

“I DONT WANNA DO SOMETHING!!!!!”

rehearsal spot we had for close to 18 years. This was when some of these songs were still in their infancy! Listen to our band #WYRMZYR in its native habitat

I used to love reading dystopian fiction in high school.

Reaaaaally not enjoying living through dystopian reality as an adult.

This weekend has been a whirlwind. I had a gig Saturday night with my former band for the first time in 4 years. I got a call and text from a childhood friend and a buddy I haven’t heard from in equally as long; both bearing bad news.
