Monkeysoop (http://www.monkeysoop.com) are in studio this month working on a hybrid Live and Studio album. Righteous! We’ve got some live tracks recorded at a local joint and then we’re also going to throw in some new studio stuff. Should be interesting.

Confusion Only (http://www.confusiononly.com) are working toward a new look and website. We’re going to start an online comic that will have embedded extra content, like videos and demos and such. I am going to cross-pollinate from Balsaracers.com with my Ninjaneer concept.

So here is a quick mockup up of how the comic may look. It’s going to be a cross between line-traced. comicized pictures and real backgrounds. Something like “through a scanner darkly” meets http://www.alienlovespredator.com

Or something. Hmmm…looking at it now, it’s a bit creepy, huh?

Quick mockup of online comic

All this plus another large rack, three suitcases of cords, two fold-up chairs, and a keyboard fir into my minivan. It was what we engineers call “full” probably could have fit a 6-pack in there if necessary (you always have room for a beer)

Buffalo Soldiers. I felt for these guys all in wool in June in San Antonio, Texas.

Blues, man! He wasn’t too happy about the monitor sound (it was peeling his face off, it was so loud, apparently), but he didn’t say anything until I went to the stage to fix a glitch: you gotta tell someone there’s a problem if you want to get it fixed. Which we did. Alas, he kept moving away from the mic when he sang softer and got closer to the mic when he got louder, so we had to ride the fader and gain the entire time.  The keyboardist was excellent. The bassist and drummer were very good, too.

These guys i felt bad for, as they were doing a lot of head, hand, and foot spins on a splinter-laden stage. I think they may have needed medical care after.

My camera couldn’t take a good picture of the Ron Wilkins Quartet, but they were fantastic!
