I've been BUSY

OK, so I haven't done an update pretty much since my son was born, but I HAVE been doing a whole lot of stuff.  And a lot of it even involved making music!

For starters, there's  The Smash Brothers, the video game cover band I play guitar in.  We finally have a website. We also recorded a six-song EP we're releasing at  MAGFest 7.  And one of the songs was featured on Penny-Arcade's Child's Play CD!  If you aren't familiar with Child's Play, you should click here.  It's a great charity that donates a LOT of money to children's hospitals around the world.  And the CD features LOADS of internet-famous musicians/groups.  If you need demo clips to convince you that you should help make life more bearable for sick kids by buying this CD go here.  Or just do it for the kids.

Along with The Smash Brothers EP, the finished version of X-Strike Studios' new film Resident Horror will also be making its debut at MAGFest 7.  Most of the soundtrack is Dale North goodness, but I have three or four songs on there as well.  OK, so Dale wrote some of them and I just played guitar or rehashed them.  But "Rookie Action Pack" is all me, as is the un-named chase music with all the wah wah guitars :)

I've also been doing some guitar recording for the internet supergroup The Grammar Club.  It's been a lot of fun, and one of those tracks appears on the Child's Play CD as well!  It's a catchy little number about underbeards.  You know, like when someone shaves their face, but for some reason stops at the sideburns and neckline for that "chinstrap" effect.  Or to quote the song, "You lookin' like Chewbacca did a faceplant into Nair."

At some point I found time to do an arrangement for the upcoming Bad Dudes Chrono Trigger CD .  Obviously "Coming in November" didn't happen, but look for it SOON.

Oh, and I logged over 180 hours in Persona 3 before I finally decided it was time to beat the game already and just skipped through the final month as fast as possible.  A lot (I'm guessing around 100) of those hours were spent with the game sitting on the menu screen while I fed, cleaned, or played with Donovan, though.  So I don't really know how long the game actually is if you don't constantly wander off and leave it sitting for a day at a time.  It sure is a great game, though.  It's definitely one of my favorite 3 PS2 games ever, and the soundtrack is fantastic.

OK, so that was a big update.  See you in 6 months or so :)

donovan asleep on his boppy

My son Donovan was born on March 31st, 4 weeks early.  He had to be delivered via emergency C-section because he was breech, but we had enough notice that it wasn't a super-crazy emergency.  He weighed in at a whopping 4lbs 14oz and 17 3/4in long.  Because he was early and small, he got to spend a couple nights in the Special Care Nursery, but he's A-OK and so is Kris.  She's recovering well and we're all home now.  Basically, he's the best thing ever, so I'm going to get back to doting on him now. More pictures soon!

Joecam Wedding - FACE
I just spent several days in PA because Joecam got married. Good times were had. I'll add pictures to the gallery soonish. But it's good to be home now. We went in for another sonogram and now I have a picture of baby's FACE. Super-cool. It's even labeled "FACE." I can't wait to meet him :)
