Oy, I've been letting this blog slip due to summertime laziness. I've been especially squeezed in July, launching a big project at the day job; pulling off a sold-out Kin to Stars one-year anniversary show which I failed to promote or even mention here; camping in downstate WV with family, during which I experienced a terrifying, wrath-of-God-style lightning storm from the "safety" of a thin nylon tent; entertaining friends in town for Independence Day, planning various home repairs, etc. I feel like July has been just as packed as the first six months of 2012. Busy, but it's a good kind of busy.
In a few hours, Kirby Krackle is headed down to Portland to play at the GeekPortland Geek Party, along with nerd-folk sister act the Doubleclicks. It's been months since our last full-band show and even longer since we've left Seattle so I'm looking forward to getting back into it. Other guys play poker or go fishing for the weekend, we haul gear to clubs. Summer gigs are the best.
