Apparently I am on a temporary hiatus from podcasting. Things are kinda banannas for me right now, but in a good way. I am teaching in all the boroughs (well, not in poor Staten Island) and musical directing A Grand Night for Singing at Theater 1010.

Fear not, things will chill soon and I will be back to the casting. Thanks to those of you who have been asking where I am!

Greetings.

If you are wondering what this is all about, I tend to draw all over random things that get in my path and Mikeypod was gracious enough to let me commit blograffiti here this evening. In part to provide his album art for this month, although fashionably late, but more importantly it means I got to scribble all over his blog for a while. That was fun, although not the part where I thought I broke the internet by doing so. I’d totally do it again though. Thanks sir!

Peace

I had intended to hit the ground running with podcasts in 2008, but as I mentioned before, my old mixer died. The good news is that this was the inspiration I needed to get my new (to me) Mackie 1202-VLZ Pro mixer up (thanks luke kurtis!) and running. In the meantime, starting on Monday I will be offering “re-runs” of my favorite shows. I realized recently that there are a ton of them that are worth listening to again, and since I may have to wait for my next payday to get the podcasting rig going, I’d like to keep things going. Let me know if you have any special requests.

Joey is diligently editing our New years Eve video podcast, so look for that soon as well!

oooooops. my old voicemail expired! Here’s the new one: 206-202-4178 look for a new podcast today!

This is part one of my sound-seeing tour with Greenpoint’s Dog Shit Queen, Miss. Heather. newyorkshitty.com was the first blog I fell in love with when I moved to NYC, so I am so happy that she agreed to take me on this sound-seeing tour! it probably goes without saying, but just in case… this show is not work safe!

I originally planned on editing all of this down to one show, but you guys always seem to love the longer sound-seeing tours, and I really couldn’t bear to cut any of this out. Part two will be up on Monday. Tomorrow I will talk with Mike Hipp about my decision to go vegan and then on Friday, if all goes well, I will be talking with Shane Claiborne from The Simple Way. (yay!) What a busy week! i guess that will make the Shane Claiborne show my 100th episode!
