Why am I craving fish sticks? Weird.
DOG PEOPLE
You ever get that look from a dog. It’s a warning look. I got that look from a Doberman once, a neighbor’s dog. He was pulling on the leash and I thought I could control him the same way I do my dog. You know. One [...]

MLK Day
It’s that time of year. Happy belated birthday to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
You know my thing about this day. I cringe every time I hear the words, “I have a dream.” It has become a slogan and a misrepresentation of Dr. King’s life and works. It’s an effort to dumb down his legacy. [...]

This one is in progress. Eddie brought his magic to Studio G (aka Studio Pig Sty) again earlier this week. This is the product of that second meeting. We’ve been really productive.

That is not a “Porky’s” reference.
Last Saturday I went with some friends to Malibu Grill in Falls Church. It’s one of those Brazilian steakhouse affairs. There’s a large buffet with salads, vegetables, fruits, shrimp, etc. There’s a little wooden cylinder at your table — one end red, one [...]

The New Year Project: “The Portable Lab” or “Studio G goes mobile”
I’ve been asking people if they have New Year’s resolutions. Most of them say no. Like I said, I’ve got some goals/projects for 2008. Collaboration is the word bouncing around in my head.
So I ask myself, how can I get this off the [...]

Hey! What’s up? Long time no see.
I’ve been kind of distracted so I haven’t been writing much lately. It seems like I can focus (obsess) on music or writing, each to the detriment of the other. Phases. You know.
So it’s the first day of 2008. Not quite the way [...]
