Back in New York City

Dad took me to New York to visit Sarah for a week. We flew on Jet Blue, got there late Sunday night, and spent the week exploring the city together. Sarah was a great host and tour guide, showing us how to use the subway, and taking us to the cool spots. We checked out the statue of liberty, Ellis Island, Rockefeller Plaza, and saw some shows. We saw Stephanne Wrembel, who played at the Jazz Standard, and George Clinton and the P Funk All Stars, who played at B.B. King's! Those were both on the same night! Now I know why they call it the city that never sleeps. Later on during the week, we saw the Upright Citizens Brigade which is a comedy workshop. Fred Armisen from Saturday Night Live performed and so did SHAC. We also got to see a film at the IFC theater called The Exiles. It was a whirlwind tour, and I'll never forget it.

Haywired at Pixie Woods

Haywired played at Pixie Woods' annual fund raiser and wine tasting event last month, and I got to jam with Cecil, Karen, and Don in the Toadstool Theatre! They are as good as ever and we played a bunch of fiddle tunes together. It was one of the many highlights of my summer.

COMA on the Radio

Last night, John, Dax, and I were interviewed by Cynthia Lombard of KFJC, Foothill College's radio station. Cynthia asked us about COMA, the California Outside Music Associates, our music, how we met, and where we perform. We elaborated on how Stockton is a hotbed for improvised music, and discussed what it is like to be a part of such an interesting subculture. We also plugged our cd, BIG WORDS, and got to comment on the songs she played on the air. It was a gas. Cynthia also gave away tickets to the Edgetone Summit where we will perform this Friday, July 25, in San Francisco. Congrats to our biggest fan, Rod from the peninsula for winning a pair!
