Disaster!

I'm trying to remember if I've ever cancelled a show. I'm sure I have once or twice, though no particular instance stands out. Last night was a first. After driving in rush hour traffic to Long Beach from downtown LA, we arrived at the Blue Cafe about two hours …

LA Weekly LA Weekend!

Sometimes cool things happen last minute. Taylor Negron and I were asked to perform for LA Weekly LA Weekend at the Ricardo Montalbán Theatre (Now Nike's Montalbán Theatre... how classy). The tickets were something ridiculous like $30, but the lineup is pretty …

In case you were wondering...

Free Money!!

I'm heading to San Francisco to record some new songs with the one and only Joe Varela. Although I've known Joe a long time and worked with him on some projects when we both lived in Spokane, he's never produced my material. Why, I do not know. It should have …

Things That Make Me Smile

Ready To Go

Where to begin?

It's difficult to balance emotional and rational thought. Both get in the way of doing the right thing.

It's not enough to say you are a person that listens. You have to actually listen. When someone tells you it's not about the money, the …

Party Like It's 1998

I'm 22. I know I'm on my way out. Let's face it, this is a child's world. That's where the money is. Hannah Montana, High School Musical, and John Mayer on Sesame Street says it all. If you're younger than me, you're in charge of the world. Take care of it. If …

Don't Drive With Headphones

Waiting outside our rehearsal space, a car pulls into the alley and I can see that the driver is wearing earbuds. She drives her car straight through the puddle, spraying Carey and his cigarette. My guitar and myself are dry.

I don't know what that means, but I …

An Ocean and a Rock

Lately I've been overwhelmed with ideas. I've never written this constantly before. At least not for a few years. I'm really looking forward to putting this next group of songs out.

It's been a busy year. Taylor Negron and I are preparing to showcase a rewritten …

I Still Believe In Mankind.

I have to admit, I really didn't expect it to be there. I felt stupid for trusting another human being. But, when I returned with a $20 bill, they pulled it out of a locked drawer, carefully wrapped in plastic and rubber bands.

Some people do tell the truth. Even …

Collateral

I am writing this blog as a warning to all who might read it, and to remind myself to pick up my iPod at my doctor's parking garage.

I leave the house in a hurry to make my appointment on time. I'm new to the area. I move a lot. I do not know that this parking …

Dom's Kitchen: Pre-Sliced Edition

There is a subtle art to the handling of any frozen pizza. Here is a recipe that may come in handy when your friends drop by.

You will need:

1 box of pre-sliced frozen pizza, brand of your choice
1 spatula
2 1/2 distractions (PlayStation 3, YouTube, and laziness …

The road to the Oscars...

...is blocked off. I hope this event is worth doubling everyone's drive time by shutting down half the city.

I need to blog more.

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone for their kind words and support for "One Day E.P." We had a great turnout at the release show, even with the terrible weather, and I'd like to thank Allen Stone , Jonathan Nicholson and Kevin Morgan once more for playing with …
