Someone asked me to do one of these yesterday, and it reminded me of one of my favorite music review sites, The Venn Review. The primary difference between music and writing for me is the payoff: one pays the bills, one feeds the soul. Lucky to know I love them both.

Ferris Wheel Under a Super Moon
writingDid you see it? A 47-inch Ferris Wheel spun in downtown Greensboro Saturday night under a Super Moon. And yes. You got tossed off if you rocked the basket. Saw it happen.

Featuring The Mighty Gospel Inspirations
Postcards from the Swamp: A portable chair. Do you have one?
UncategorizedI just got this one. Ideal for rocking lake-side. But you’ll also need some cigars and seltzer to rock it out swamp-side this October. Next month, I’m reprising the six song series Postcards from the Swamp at Doodad Farm. The band will feature Ben Singer and the fine fellows from Wurlitzer Prize. The evening also features special guests The Mighty Gospel Inspirations, all the way from Durham, NC.
If you’re not the outdoor type, I’ve got some indoor things happening, too. Hope to see you there.

9.26—you’ll need more than a camping chair
The ramble continues. Possum Jenkins debuted the festival last year in the GPS-navigator-challenged mountains outside Boone, NC. This year, the festival deck is certainly stacked to be better than the first Ramble.
Plan to bring: Camping and cold weather gear

In the never-ending search for pictures that tell 1,000 stories, I followed these low-light photo tips to take this shot. Much thanks to the writer (go Alex Trice!) and to the busker on the corner of Walker and Elam Streets in Greensboro, NC.
