also it would help me a considerable amount if you could please rate your assessment of keanu’s competence as an actor. 1 – 10. 1 being incredibly inept. 10 being fantastically suited for his role in bill and ted’s excellent adventure.
one of the things i mentioned not too long ago came out today! it would thrill me to know you purchased it. it is available here on itunes.
also it would help me a considerable amount if you could please rate your assessment of keanu’s competence as an actor. 1 – 10. 1 being incredibly inept. 10 being fantastically suited for his role in bill and ted’s excellent adventure. we have been all over the place. last week we flew to lexington ky wednesday night. got on a bus owned by dear friends of ours cj and terry. they drove us on our very first tour not too many years ago. we love them. they drove us to their house where we spent the night and woke to a feast of a breakfast. we ate ourselves very near to sinfulness. we left. thursday night we played at a festival called “ichthus”. ichthus or ichthys is greek. it means “fish”. friday night we played at a festival called “atlanta fest”. saturday night we played in dayton ohio where i met a really cool guy whose name i can’t remember. he gave me a note and asked me if i’d mention him in my blog. i lost his note. he said his friends had told him he wouldn’t be able to get me to do it. i’m not sure who wins… (foreshadowing: we will later see one of the guys who helped put this event on. we will be at the columbus airport as our trip is coming to its end. he will be heading to hawaii with his family for three weeks. three weeks!! we will feel what is very near envy as he tells us this but we will be heading home and something amazing is waiting for me there.) sunday night we play at a church in troy michigan. we see some of our very close friends here and get to say hello briefly. monday night we don’t play anywhere. we watch movies in columbus ohio. one of them is “the lake house”. keanu reeves is the best actor ever. he is a thespian. really. i’m not kidding. no seriously. stop. stop it. stop laughing. i’m serious. ok. but the plot is genius. no seriously. it is. stop. stop it…(foreshadowing: we will later be in this city’s airport where we talk to a man we know who is heading to hawaii. there is something waiting for me at home.) tuesday night we secretly play at a church in atlanta. or the a-t-l as we affectionately referred to the city while there. it was a secret because we like secrets. we had a lot of fun. wednesday night we played in wheeling west virginia. this was the second time we’ve played in wheeling west virginia. we like wheeling west virginia. thursday night we played at a festival called “alive festival”. alive is english. it means “having life”. friday morning we went to the columbus ohio airport. we were heading home. we saw one of the guys who helped put on the event in dayton ohio that we had played at. we were in the security check point line. he was with his family. they were heading to hawaii for three weeks. i thought that sounded really fun but there was something waiting for me at home that i was really excited about. here is what was waiting for me: it is a mountain bike that i ordered about two months ago. it is a bike made by the good people at seven cycles located in massachusetts. it is their “sola” model. it was assembled by the good folks at bicycles outback here in waco tx. i am really excited about it. thank you seven cycles. thank you bicycles outback.
edit: it seems it is the responsible and necessary thing to include an interjection here – any comments involving mr. reeves and houses near bodies of water were made with satirical tone. we were just notified of this….
msn artist of the month voting… first i must say that, “i’m completely astounded.” second i must say, “please go vote.” i realize voting for a band such as ours is a strange and awkward thing, and i hesitate to ask, but i’m certain it would generate some attention from folks normally uninterested and possibly bearing pessimistic opinions regarding music of this nature. it’s just not everyday we can have a voting contest, pitting busta rhymez vs the crowder band. and we must take advantage, yes? it shall be fun and rewarding. so i humbly ask that you click the link and vote and then forward to your friends and family, of course requesting they help you crush mr. busta as well. we love mr. busta dearly, but he has a burgeoning film career and we do not. first. i’m in little rock, ar, sitting in a hospital room. my wife’s sister is about to have a baby. in an hour or so? i plan to not be in the room whenever that moment arrives but for now we are all sitting around laughing and talking. the mood is quite festive. call me uncle d. second. i have made a number of references to “writing.” they have all been in reference to a book that hogan (our band’s violinist/dj) and i are writing. actually “were writing” is more accurate. today is the due date for our manuscript. quite exciting! here is the cover. we’ll tell you more about it when the release date is closer. i just wanted you guys to be the first to know. and third. (they always come in threes…) near the end of this month we have this coming your way. we haven’t talked much about it because there is a heaviness attached to it for us. actually both of these projects come from coping with the death of our friend. which make them very personal offerings. we are incredibly grateful for all the thoughts and prayers many of you have directed our way. i read (present tense) all the comments posted here and i must say i have found many to be meaningful. thank you.
