News:

I've been pretty quiet lately which has been suiting me just fine. Sharon and I are over here tending to our lives quietly in our winter den. Like Punxsutawney Phil (see Groundhog Day if you don't know) I'm ready to surface for a little action. I'm kicking off a series for my blog called You Must Listen To This where I will be featuring some of my favorite albums with commentary on why I love it so much. Hopefully you get to hear some artists and/or albums you've never been exposed to before.

This Friday I'll be at Shine along with some friends from Deep End and my fellow Cowboy Zach Moore. Then I'll be heading off to Seattle and then on up to Whistler on Sunday for some boarding and a few gigs. We're heading up right to Whistler as the Olympics leave town and WinterPride (Whistler's Gay Week) rolls in. I'm guessing there is going to be plenty to do and see while we're there.

I'm sad to miss SnowFest. I went 2 years ago but didn't get to DJ that time. I guess I'll get to cross that off my checklist next year instead.

Update

They Call Me A Space Cowboy

First off I finally completed my Burning Man 2009 inspired mix entitled Some People Call Me A Space Cowboy. Secondly, in an odd bit of the universe bringing together like-minded people* I have officially joined up with the Space Cowboys. Far from being a shotgun wedding we courted like an old-fashioned couple. We met, we talked, we kind of hung out but not seriously and then that little spark lit and since then the Cowboys have been a part of my life and I theirs.

I've been decidedly cautious about joining up with another Burning Man camp but sometimes things just feel right and after a year of getting prime gigs with the Cowboys I felt it was my time to return the favor and put more time in. Amazingly, these parties don't just happen by themselves.

* - Coincidence or not - you decide. My Xbox Live and Flickr nicknames are Space Cowboy going back before I lived in SF or heard about the Space Cowboys. When I moved to SF I saw the Unimog outside and the SC DJs ripping it up and thought to myself how fucking cool would it be to be part of a crew like that? Maybe these Space Cowboys were just meant for each other.... aaaaah. Hold on, let me get my hanky.
