Where have I been?

Jackie and I drove down to West Lafayette, Indiana to the FIRST Robotics Boilermaker regional. We watched some robots. I got to see a bunch of my awesome robotics friends. The cover band I’m in played a 2-set show for a bunch of people. I got pulled over for going 56 in a 40 (oops.), but only got a written warning — what a nice sheriff. Then we drove home.

After a few days of work and resting, my dad and I drove over to Chicago for the Midwest regional, at the University of Chicago - Illionis. We watched some robots and got to hang out with a bunch of robotics friends. DSK played at the UIC Pavilion (a hockey arena) on their huge PA system. It was loud. It was awesome. We played our best show ever, I think (except for those first two songs .. both guitarists forgot how to play them, and its noticable to us at least). We have mp3’s and some video, and they’re going up slowly on our website. It was so much fun planning, practicing, and playing. The other guys in the band are amazing people, and awesome musicians. It was great.

And now — I’m taking a break from things, trying to stay happy (and it’s pretty easy these days, luckily), and just living life. The local bands are trying to get things going again, and that’s exciting. I really want to start playing more shows. It’s fun.

I’ve got tons of new music to share (not share, share — but to tell you about) and those posts will come in the next few days. Oh, it’s so good. I promise.
