One hour from my 30's!

It's official, the word has come down, the race has been run, all that...

I'm turning 30 in less than an hour now! To celebrate, I just completed my NEW PODCAST SECTION!

KT and I are going to Puerto Rico next week with my best friend Yamil, we're going to have a blast. Until then, we're looking to buy our first house... Here's a video I made yesterday of two prospects.

Wax on... Wax off...

It's been an interesting few weeks here at Haddonville Studios. I've seemingly completed the first episode of my podcast, and that means the PODCAST section of this website should be active by Friday... It's about freakin' time if you ask me!

Katie and I took a trip to Asheville, NC last weekend to visit my good friend Jason Grossman (see picture,) an actor and producer from NYC. We had a great time walking around this hip southern college town. We ate at the Laughing Seed, happened upon a chili cookoff/ice cream eating contest, and talked about future projects in life and love. It was a great day!

The week before that, I taught a whole bunch of Trinity children music classes at the Vacation Bible School. This is something I never thought I'd do, and I'm very happy that I did it. We had a ton of fun, and all these beautiful children made my biological clock start ticking... Who knew that men had biological clocks?? Good work kids!

In other news, KT and I are starting the process of buying our first house, we're taking off to Puerto Rico in a week, I turn 30 on Wednesday, we're already packing for our trip to Zambia, and last but not least, we both met and had a wonderful dinner with some friends from Trinity last night including Margaret Edson, whose play, W;t, I wrote music for a few years ago in Boston.

KT and I feel very thankful for all of these amazing gifts.

The Bride in the Red Dress

KT and I are back in Atlanta now after another friends amazing wedding. In this one the bride was Chinese and wore a stunning bright red satin dress. Since the groom is a huge Star Wars fan, each table was a different planet in the Star Wars universe. KT and I were seated at Yavin.

The ceremony took place at this incredibly beautiful reception hall out in the middle of nowheresville Michigan called the Blue Dress Barn (see pic)

This week, I'll be a podcasting freak. Working on KT's pcast, as well as Union Seminary's, as well as my own, as well starting to setup one over at Trinity Church where KT works.

I have to make a correction to an earlier post. Yesterday as we drove back again from Kzoo to Atlanta I realized that the big 3-story roadside crosses in the middle of nowhere are in the state of Tennessee, not Kentucky. Just roll up I-75 and you'll see them. Crazy as the day is long. Sorry, I don't have a pic, but our digital camera is still on the fritz...

I found this neat little photo website that easily turns your pics into little flash slideshows! Nothing HUGE, but fun enough for me to mention here.

Here's a little sample from my recent Boston trip!



I'm sick at the moment, so I might be blogging more.

1-75 North

I'm writing this entry from good ol' Kamlamazoo.Back here for our friend Meghann's wedding this weekend.

Katie and I have driven 1-75 up and back 3 times now, and we see some pretty crazy stuff along the way. The funniest of which has to be this 40 foot high Jesus sculpture just outside Cincinatti at the Solid Rock Church. It's like a horrible accident that you just can't help staring at as you drive by.

Funny/scary also is a series of three-story roadside crosses in Kentucky that must have been put up by somebody... because there ain't a church near any of em. In fact, there's usually a XXX shop near them. Probably why they're up, to remind the faithful huddled masses about some thing or another. It's Kentucky, so I don't want to even venture a guess.

On a more positive front, I've been working on the first episode of my "sound+song+score" podcast this week, and I'm hoping to be done very shortly. The episode is all about the 8th annual Boston Theater Marathon! So stay tuned for that.
