Good morning Benton,
How does this (2nd) dreary day find you?
Have you heard any of the Monsters of Folk yet? They are featured on a recent NPR podcast. (I’m always telling you about these, I’m sure you’re aware-) Doesn’t sound exactly like I thought it would, (not a lot of folk involved) but definitely has that sort of “super group” feel to it that I usually don’t care for. See under The Raconteurs & also 99% of the charity/benefit recordings. Also featured is some artist called Yim Yames covering George Harrison. Yim sounds strikingly familiar to someone, I just can’t place it. He’s got this whole beautiful falsetto Louisville thing going on, weird. We shall see I guess. Just never understood the reason why artists feel the need to combine with peers & create such a similar sound to that of which they've already created. I just realized why I'm sitting behind a desk & not behind a guitar.......
Shaun has taken his reporting of comic con to a totally new & exciting level. I counted close to 10 tweets in one day, a record for his kind. Despite the fact that I’m enjoying the pics of the floor & booths, etc., he sent me one late last night (that woke me up!) by email that was simply titled “how I feel right now”, or something of that nature. The picture, which I’ll show you, or, you may have also received it, is him parked in what looks like a hotel room chair, just starring up to the ceiling. He looks utterly drained & exhausted in the photo. Those dudes will come back more enervated than they can possibly imagine, & hopefully a handshake or 2 to tell us about. I'm still stoked for them.
Anyway, that’s all for now. Looking forward to maybe fellowshipping (sp) with you guys this weekend. Angela & I have already conversed & most definitely would enjoy a pint of Stella or 2 Friday evening. A possible return to Pazzos looms? Have you ventured out into any more sushi dealings recently? Someone has a birthday coming up, maybe a Seki visit is in your near future.
Yours in friendship,
