Forget and Not Slow Down

Just got home from a Jays game. Last of the year? Ya. We were 4 of.. about 20 people who went to see them play tonight. Nahhh... not really. But it was major empty.

I keep listening to Owl City. I love it. I keep ducking as he sends a hook my way, and then I'm just looking up again and another one is coming! I also rather like Relient K's new single. For a while everything I listened to had to be serious, and musically diverse, and old. I guess tonight is a rebirth. Jeffy and I talked about Hello Rockview on the way home from the Dome. I'm in a zone.

"I'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly.."

I love that moment where you say yes to something without thinking it through. There's something great about trusting yourself enough to just go. I remember feeling way out in left when I first moved to Toronto. People rise to the challenge. Thinking about whether you can or cannot accomplish something is really just placing your projected results alongside a given individual's expectations and playing A/B. Life's more exciting if you can look at things from the perspective of your own expectations.

Hello Seattle

Music!

Just a few quick updates:

Doing a pub gig with Paul Mayer from The Restless Age (myspace.com/therestlessage) on Nov. 5th. Fitzgerald's in the Beach. More formal info to come. Food, beers, and lots of covers. Plan on it!

Also, looks like another gig is shaping up for late October somewhere downtown. Again, more info to come. That one will be with Lauren Malyon and her band, with The Restless Age headlining, and I'll also be opening with an acoustic set of my own stuff. Can't wait! I'll keep you guys posted.
