Post New York

Reflecting on the show at Rockwood in NYC last week has been fun. Thanks so much to everyone who came out to make it a great night. Getting the chance to integrate some new accompaniment was awesome... Eric Shimelonis (piano, bass) and I have been playing a bit together here in DC, and Paddy Boom (formerly of Scissor Sisters) is a new addition on the percussion front. And I think people really enjoyed the different flavors they brought to each song. I'm excited to be back up there with them September 16th.

This event tonight at Homebody (outfitters for contemporary living at 715 8th Street SE) will be fun. A good opportunity to connect with a lot of folks from the LGBT community here in DC by supporting one of my favorite local businesses in Homebody and a stalwart of the community in Reel Affirmations.

Watching Wimbledon right now. Dying to get there in person one of these days. Hopefully before Federer retires.

Things are getting hot here in DC. I've resisted turning the AC on, but it may be time to succumb. When I first moved here, I went without it for 4 years... can't believe that. It's getting pretty unbearable - you just feel so sluggish and you don't realize why... I think I'm talking myself into it right now. ha.

Time to get a little exercise. Got some great shows coming up here in DC this summer... new players and arrangements are sure to be involved. Mark your calendars - Saturday, July 18th at IOTA Club & Cafe and Sunday, August 16th at Rock & Roll Hotel.
