My heart goes out to all those involved in the horrific events that happened in Connecticut today.
There has been so much hype about the Mayan calendar ending on 12/21/2012 being a sign that the world will end that day. The History Channel has even added a countdown to The Apocalypse to their programming. What are your predictions for 12/21/2012? Do you really think the world will end or is it all just hype?

Last night ended up being one of the luckiest nights in my life. The show went well even though getting to the gig was pretty stressful. It started with me getting pulled over by a Cleveland cop for making an illegal u-turn to get to the venue. Then when I was trying to park my car in this crazy, narrow parking lot in an even narrower alley, I accidently rubbed fenders with a parked SUV that just happened to belong to an employee of the venue. Someone must have been looking out for me, or I cashed in all of my good karma points. The cop let me go with a warning (my new best friend), and the girl was amazingly cool about her car since there was only a little trading of paint.

I shall spin a tale my friends of the open mic at a joint called Club Cafe in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Fifty poor souls like myself flock to this establishment every Monday to bid for the chance to perform two songs for no pay. Your only prayer of getting on stage is to arrive two and a half hours before the doors open. Arriving at the store front that houses this increasingly notorious display of desperate musicians is when fun only begins. One takes to the curb with the false notion that they are first in line only to be confronted twenty minutes later by another "fellow" musician who tells you your second in line, for he arrived an hour before and left an imaginary ghost at the door to save his spot. Then the hosts of this singer/songwriter showcase arrive and are let in the door before the endless line outside to sign up all their friends ahead of you. When you finally make it inside and sign up, you then face the angry servers who bitch that you only ordered a water. Totally worth it, eh? : )
Ladies and gentlemen, I will be sharing the bill tonight with a great band from Minneapolis called 4 on the floor at The Smiling Moose (Carson Street - Pittsburgh). The show starts around 10pm, and if you catch me before that, I still have $10 presale tickets you can buy!
Last night's Hope to Haiti benefit at The Bloomfield Bridge Tavern (Pittsburgh) was a great time, especially the camp fire style jam on the patio after my set. I want to thank Brittany Hautz again for inviting me to perform, and Steve and Dan for giving the audience some swag. Derrick and Melanie - you both had killer sets! If you were wondering what was taped on my guitar. Jenny, my fiance's little cousin is doing a Flat Stanly unit in her second grade class. She chose us to take pictures of her in different locations around the city. I think she's going to be the coolest kid in her class with our pictures. :)
I'm still figuring out all of the features of my website. I can post pics which is sweet, and you guys can comment on my site as well!
This evening, I will be participating in The Eclipse Lounge Acoustic Open Stage (Lawrenceville). 8pm
