I think I heard someone say that we’re in day 29 or so of consecutive 100 and up degree temperatures.

Texas in the summer.

This year, it’s extra strength.

July is starting to really pick up the pace– a bunch of shows leading up to our little trip across the pond. I’m really excited about the shows in Germany and Italy. The unknowns and uncertainties can be pretty interesting. I have no idea how the music will be received over there, but I’m pretty excited to find out.

In news that probably no one cares about other than me, the Phightin’ Phils have seemingly forgotten about their dismal showing during the month of June, and have since turned the corner, heading into the All Star break winning 9 of their last 10 games, affixing them firmly at the top of the division. When the Phillies are winning, I’m a happy man.

It’s looking like we’ll be pushing the release of An Audio Guide To Cross Country Travel back a couple of weeks. I’m just as anxious to get it out there as you hopefully are to hear it, so don’t think I’m doing this just to mess with you… an album release is a delicate thing, and with this one, I’m not even thinking about putting it out until all of the right pieces are in place. Once I can ensure that Audio Guide gets treated with the respect that I think it deserves, it’ll be all systems go!

So hang in there– I’ll have a new release date for you soon, and also, probably a sneak peak at the album artwork (which came out great!).

Stay cool out there, and support live music!
