Phoenix Rising

I like this performance. I am also enjoying listening to the group's sophomore effort, Alphabetical.

I am definitely in Korea. It's a nice experience so far. Sohee's mom has made me wonderful Korean food. My old director at a university has dubbed me happily married because I have gained weight since 2007 (She doesn't know I stopped smoking and started eating small children). I have also picked up a bad ass Korean guitar that sounds like a string quartet on crack. Now I just need to put out a comic book, CD, and write a screenplay. I've got work to do.

I'll start posting comics once I find a scanner.

Back in Black

Sogee and I are back in Korea. We arrived last night. Now we're going to get a guitar.

Jamming at the Brewery

Sohee and I head off to Seoul tomorrow. I'll be out of contact for 12 hours. In the meantime, here are some pics from our latest adventures in Boulder.

Yesterday we went off to Odell's Brewing Company and New Belgium Brewery in Fort Collins with Mary and David.

Sohee learned how to brew beer.

I was obsessed with the bottling procedure. It made me feel like I was watching Reading Rainbow live.

"Oh, yeah," a college student agreed with me. "We've just gone through the tunnel with the trolley on Mister Roger's Neighborhood."

"I could watch this all day," a middle aged woman said.

"I don't know about all day," I said. "It is hypnotic though."

"I feel like a bottle," Sohee said.

"I feel like gear switch."

"David is hitting on the tour guide."

"That's what he's supposed to do," I said.

Last night, I jammed out with Sean, Kelsey, and Michael. I played bass. Sean taught me how to play bluegrass. I was all about it.

After Sean showed me how to do the picking, I started to figure it out. It's pretty fun. I think I'll write a bluegrass tune on the next Slipshod record.

FYI - I am not taking my guitars to Korea. That means I'll either build a telecaster or get a Fender knock-off somewhere.

Korea here we come!

Would you rent a beau to take home to your parents? That would make a nice revision to THE GLASS MENAGERIE.

The Persian-Korean Connection!

There is an incredible clip of Jeff Beck playing guitar on the middle left of this page. I'll see if I can find it on YouTube for those of you who might not be able to view it overseas.

This is Jeff Beck performing, but if you want to see the awesome whammy, you'll have to go to the previous link.

Oh, wait. I found it.

I have been watching a lot of music videos lately. I really enjoyed Pink's Glitter in the Air performance at the Grammy's this year. Sohee thought it was pretty hot too.
