Domestic reparation

This is what our life has resorted to... Miranda and I have three days of Fall vacation and we spent every waking hour working ye ole homestead over...

Miranda touches up the edges of our babies' beautiful room...

Left handed piggies after hours of strumming my guit 'n' painting white doors even whiter...

This bathroom sink finally gets a swift kick in the ass. No more squeak, no more leak. P.S. We're best of pals now...

Doesn't seem like three days of work, I know.

Supplying the soundtrack to the weekends events...

Even after watching this painful video from his latest album...

I just listen to McCartney or Ram and all is right with the world. These one word titled debut and sophomore solo albums are all the reason you need to call this Paul Sir.

Being for the benefit of the sold project

Recently, I have been acquainted with some folks who are part of an endeavor called The SOLD Project. A group of twenty-somethings spent the summer in South East Asia to shoot a film in hopes of will creating awareness amongst our generation about the world of sex slavery. I am honored to have been asked to perform at a benefit at the Harrison Center for the Arts onOctober 19th which hopes to generate support for this project. The music kicks off at 7:00pm and the cost is ten US dollars. All proceeds will go toward the SOLD Project. Other artists performing will be My Hidden Track, Jascha, Tom Loschiavo and Those Young Lions. Come out and enjoy these local artists and support this movement to bring awareness and eradication to this atrocious crime against humanity which enslaves millions of children today.
