I Survived The Bentzen Ball
When I saw the great line-up that Tig Notaro had organized for the Bentzen Ball, I was blown away that something so massive was coming to the area, and started trying to figure out how I could help out and get involved. Originally the idea of having a kickoff event in Richmond was floated, but it would have taken a bit of time to get organized, and the ball already had gotten a late start with...

NYC-Bound For Halloween
GPOYW:The Hugel’s First Visit To Rockefeller Center
Headed up to NY tomorrow evening for an action-packed Halloween weekend. If you’re in Brooklyn on Sat with nothing to do you should come to Bruar Falls to see Direct From Hollywood Cemetery, featuring some of Richmond’s finest ex-pats. Otherwise I’ll be kicking around the city for a few days; get in touch.

One Craz-E Summer
Inspired by my Flickr Tagging obsession, here’s a still from the Buddy Comedy I made in 2007 with Rob Michael Hugel. What do you get when you take one no-nonsense down-on-his-luck Cassanova who is looking for love in ALL the wrong places (me, obviously) and force him to move in with his long-lost brother; a recovering extacy-addict who refuses to give up his party lifestyle and still...

My second set of interviews with participants in this years Bentzen Ball went up today on RVAMag., this one with Jesse Thorn and Dave Hill.

Ben’s Chili Bowl is always high on my list, and the fest will even have people performing there non-stop throughout the weekend....

WatchThis guy’s not drunk, he’s just not used to our Earth Gravity. purns:
Security camera footage of a drunk guy trying to pick up some more beer at 10am just this last Tuesday. Enjoy the first 20 seconds, then skip to about 0:38 and let it ride. It’s like kabuki!

New Years '94 - Best One Ever
GPOYW - Holy Hair! Best New Years Ever.
I guess it’s almost five years ago that my friends in Engine Down, their lady-friends, Travis and I got flown out to Denver for a New Years show with These Arms Are Snakes and Rainer Maria. Some bands may get treated like this all the time, but for us it was pretty amazing to have our flights, food and lodging covered for New Years. Having...

Community Remix by Steve Porter.
His previous remixes are already Internet Gold, and now he jumps in with the Community crew. The Spanish Rap scene is a classic and has been sending me some very odd search results since I posted it. Keep up the good work.

Music Monday: What’s On My Turntable?
Induced after John Cabrera asked for suggestions for new vinyl, I realized this would be a good excuse to pull out and feature a record of mine on a weekly basis. The Notwist - Neon Golden is one of the all too rare great records from start to finish. The video for One With The Freaks is below, coincidentally my second Keith Schofield video today.
