For those of you who don't know, I got a new guitar recently. It's a Martin and it sounds and plays wonderfully! I couldn't be happier! I recorded the following video of me playing and singing and I hope you enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhnvChL113E

Last night, I went to my friend's ensemble's concert. My friend, Pan, is the bass clarinetist of the CSULB Symphonic Band. They really put on a great show. I got to listen to some very modern pieces (and I'm not talking about modern in a stylistic sense, necessarily) and I'm glad that I was able to expand my knowledge. I really enjoy works for ( Read more... )

Well, I've been back in town for a couple of days now. I had a blast up in Grass Valley at the Celtic Music festival. Saw some awesome concerts including a really nice set by Brian Finnegan and William Coulter, Dervish, and Enter the Haggis. The sessions ran hot and cold, but I found I enjoyed the one on Sunday (between 12:30 and 2:00) the best ( Read more... )

Well, October is upon us and I'm actually really excited. A lot is happening for me this month and I'm kicking it off by driving up to Grass Valley for the Celtic Festival that happens up there. I've never been to this one before, so it'll be exciting for me to see what it's like. It's supposedly pretty big ( Read more... )

Time certainly does have a way of flying by when you're busy with other things. I can't believe that it's already the middle of August. Where did the summer go?

When I woke up yesterday, my tonsils were huge and I could barely swallow. The problem continued to get worse throughout the day and I finally decided that it was time to see a doctor ( Read more... )

So, who's going to Comic-Con? I'll be there Thursday-Sunday. Also, just to pass on the info, there will be Califurdiego this year. It will be held at a new location, the Hilton Bayfront Hotel. For your convenience (and because I want more people to show up), I've posted info about it ( Read more... )

Many other people were doing this, so I figured I would. I haven't seen the new movie yet and probably won't anytime soon, but oh well. Have fun!

Alright. Califur was a HUGE improvement over last year. I had a blast with all of my friends and especially my roommates, devidarkwolf and wildglitterwolf, who had to put up with my shenanigans. I performed twice, both in the variety show and the cabaret. Both of those were a lot of fun for me ( Read more... )

I need to do a Califur update, but I'm too lazy right now. It will come, I promise. In short, it was a huge improvement over last year. I had a blast and can safely say that the positives massively outweigh the negatives. Kudos to the staff and the hotel for a great job ( Read more... )

Well, I'm going to be super busy on these upcoming weekends, just as I was last weekend, but it's all for good things ( Read more... )
