Boy howdy everyone... Hella fun night last night. Went out with Caitlin to Santa Cruz and did the whole nine yards over there. Beach, dinner, rollercoasters. Then it was off to jacuzzi and watch the meteor shower. Very nice. I must say, fun fun fun. Great evening and I really didn't want it to end. But hey...
Esker hath returned! So I am off to drop him a copy of the NOT LENNY Demo. Again, check out the site link on the left. Peace!

Hey hey, everyone. Back in the driver's seat again after a nine day hiatus. Feels good. It has been a very busy time for yours truly. The 3-track from NOT LENNY is now finished and in distribution. Check out the site for more info. Or just email me if you want a copy. It sounds great, but it isn't quite perfect. But... we are going to remaster and re-edit it when we do the full album. It is fucking sick though. For those of you who aren't friends of mine and are just cruising through... Not Lenny is my punk/ska group. So if you are interested in getting a copy, or even getting a file via email with the songs, email me. Ok, so what else... hmmmm, ahh yes.
Like I may have mentioned before, I had been preparing for an audition for a musical with WVLO. Yes, the same company that did George M!. I thought, "Hey, this is my first time out. I'll get ensemble or something really small like that." BUT NO!! "Holy cabooses"... I got a call back for two roles; Cornellius and Barnaby. So, I went back for call backs. They have a dead ringer for Barnaby. So I won't be getting my hopes up on that. But, it is between myself and one other guy for Cornellius. So we will have to see. I would say it is a dead heat between us. Wish me luck, I find out this week...
Other than that, I have been spending time with Caitlin, Mel ("damn teamsters"), Nick and Dave. And spending a lot of time working promotion for Not Lenny. I passed out about 100 copies of the demo last night at the Alkaline Trio show in Palo Alto. I met some awesome peeps who seemed really into ska. So we will have to see what they think. Even cooler was I got a free ticket from some chick to get in. Hell yeah. So, free show, cool peeps, networking with other musicians, and my official welcome back into the local scene. Great nite.
Well, you may have noticed I havent mentioned Starbucks. Thats because Elva hasnt scheduled me at all this week. I did manage to procure a shift for today. Short as it may be, it is still money. But hey. I have to fly. Please check out the Not Lenny page, and ask for a CD by EMAILING ME!!! Peace...

Hey everyone. Time to release...
I will admit to you all ladies and gentlemen, The Farmer is feeling a tad bit down today. With it being August first, the end of summer is officially in sight. And what a summer it has been. If you have been reading over the past 6-8 weeks, then you know all too well that I have been in the wonderful company of two ladies this summer, Caitlin and Melanie. Caitlin is my fastastic girlfriend whos company I have enjoyed immensely. Melanie was an aquaintence in middle school who has now become one of my best friends. I have spent a great deal of time with the both of them. If I am not with one, I am with the other, and I am often with both. I have bared my soul to them, worked with them, laughed with them, got drunk with them, and spent many an hour just being with them. And now, change is in the wind. Melanie will be heading off to England for the next semester, and Caitlin will be moving back to her home in Milpitas. I am going to miss Mel immensely. The long hours of witty banter, big words, and just the sheer enjoyment of my time with her will be dearly missed. Caitlin and I plan on staying together, so that won't be too much of a problem. I will miss my late nights of movies and swimming and everything else summer related with her. But hey, it isnt the end of us, we will just be playing against a slightly different backdrop.
The root of all of this lies in the geography. I will be going from having a best friend and my girlfriend living two blocks from me, to having one at the other end of town, and one at the other end of the world. Yes, it has spoiled me to be able to just see them basically whenever the hell I want. It has also touched me in a rather deep way about how serendipitous this summer has been. This mere shadow of a person from my past now becoming someone I will truly miss, and a woman who if (it wasn't for the afforementioned friend being in my life again) I would have probably not had the chance to be with. It is definately rather cosmic. I am also going to miss a lot of other people. But, cry not everyone. Things aren't all bad for me. I will be going back to school, rejoining the likes of Esker and the rest of the gang from Kappa Sig. Back into the hustle and bustle of SJSU life. Caitlin will still be a part of my life. And I will always have the constant that is THE DAILY FARMER. But hey, I still have some time left. So look out for this last chunk of summer. I plan on making it too incredible for words. Peace...
