Thanks to everyone who came to the Alchemist Friday 9/5 for the party. Food, beer, movie, videos and tunes were all good (next time I’ll make sure I get a chance to spin). The owner was very happy and wants me to do something quarterly. It won’t be as big a production but we’ll see what I throw together and of course, we’ll keep you posted. Take it easy.
God, I hate saying and writing 9/11.

HR and his bandmates/handlers spent over an hour trying to park and showed up at 11:59, obviously too late for the scheduled interview. I was thoroughly disappointed, and I’m sure some of you were as well. Although I kind of expected this to happen all along. Oh well. My apologies for getting anybody’s hopes up.
