Yeah, well after Linus Practice last night I headed out to Rudyard’s to go see Oneida; Ume; and Black Snakes and Kangaroo. [Hey how many Ume shows have I seen in the last few months? This is getting a bit much, no?] Of course, nobody in Linus wanted to or…
The end of the month during the summer is a rough time to put on a play in Houston as most people’s disposable income gets eaten away by higher energy costs. So, it’s nice that there was a Poor Schlep Night better known as “Pay-What-You-Can Monday Night”. I still paid…
Good morning laddies. Well it’s 3:30am which is a bit early to get home from a Linus show (I normally get in at 4am) so i’m a little awake. Everbody else was pretty bushed but I actualy needed to chill a bit before I hit the hay so, given that…
It takes a lot for me to actively rag on a local band. My policy is that I could spend much better time praising a deserving band than wasting time ragging on a crappy one but even this policy has its limits. During last year at the Houston Press Music…

Well another Linus practice. It began with Clinton and I being very productive at Rudyard’s. Yes instead of discussing song arrangements or other such matters we discussed Neal Stevenson’s literary merits and Peter Jackson’s translation of JRRT. Level up! You are now a 7th level Geek. Rehearsal itself was a…
