The changing of the seasons has found me unusually busy and distracted.
Things with the band have gotten kind of hectic. We’ve got three shows booked for next month, two in Milwaukee and, yes, one in Madison, finally. We’ll be playing the evening of November 14 at the High Noon Saloon. More details on all the shows to be announced in fairly short order. We’re understandably very excited.
One of my other side projects has risen from the dead. Your Signs, a feature film I designed the sound for and helped produce and direct, is screening twice this month. Next weekend, I’m bound for New York to the International, Independent Film and Video Festival. I’m kind of planning the trip to be a last minute, shoe-string budget (of course), blitzkrieg vacation-that-will-be-equal-parts-fun-and-work. Than on Halloween, October 31st at the Market Square Theater, we will be screening it in Madison at 3:00 PM.
On top of all that chaos, I’ve been making time for some emergency pleasure reading. I’m beginning to suspect I have a condition of sorts. It first manifested when I was a sophomore in college, square in the middle of a two-week span of nonstop midterms and due dates. In the midst of that, I found myself inexplicably edgy, irritable and despondent. It took a couple more weeks, but I shortly realized that I had just plumb forgotten to make time for pleasure reading over a span of several months. I just realized the other week this was in the process of happening to me again, so I quickly dived into a Heinlein that had been sitting at the top of my to-read list.
It’s saving my life. I plan to pick up another work of fiction successive to this one, and then maybe another when I’ve finished that. Who knows? Maybe I’ll really go crazy and try writing some for the first time in a long time.
So in the meantime, it’s safe to say October’s going to be a blog-light month. Rest assured, if something is irresistibly pressing, it will be blogged. I’ll have updates on the New York trip and the Common Swift gigs, and I’ll come blazing back strong in November. But in the meantime, I need to recharge those batteries.

Do try something from Vince Flynn for your recreational reading. I might suggest “Term Limits” as a starter. Sounds busy for you; remember that’s a good thing. Write sometime.
