today is sat., march 17, st paddys day, 76 degrees and sunny, nice breeze, i’m drivin around the lowcountry in a pristine 1972 chevy el camino listening to the black keys el camino whose album cover photo is of a 1994 chrysler? el camino van, which is not the same vehicle at all. so don’t get them confused. not the same–although that ’94 van has a great story. actually, the truth i’m not driving around, i found that picture on google. i’m sitting in front of my monitors pluggin away at many jobs. digging in. but i am listening to the black keys el camino. rocks. happy st paddys day .

my dog noodle was on the deck the other day here at HQ and saw this sweet boxer down stairs. they communicated through stares for a good 10 minutes. not a word was said.  talking is overrated.

Eddie White asked me to design a poster/look for the charleston bluegrass festival. his main stipulation was that it scream bluegrass music. hillbillies unite!! this will be a helluva weekend iffen you love bluegrass. check out the line-up: freakin stellar!! the website is just getting up and running so all the info you need is not quite there. keep checkin back. the tickets will go fast. also we are doing some shirts and merch so bring cash to the show and please support all musicians, local or otherwise.

i’ve posted this before, awhile back, but came across it in my archives and since today is friday, which could be considered ice cream day, i thought we would pay tribute to daddy dearest and the heyday of cool ice cream packaging.

got the word that hey rocco is the band to see. check em out at 5pm, i am. rawk.
