No, not mine! A friend of mine. His name is Alex Mrakovich, and his band, Mosquito Fleet, has a *free* show tonight at Wheaton College. If you’re available tonight, you should definitely come on out. They just released their first full-length album, which I haven’t heard yet, but I’m sure it’s amazing. And if you can’t make it, at least check out their MySpace Music page. Check it. I’ll hit everybody again and let you all know how the show goes…
It’s official! I bought my plane ticket to Denver this morning, for a trip this summer to the Wind River Mountain Range of Wyoming. Ever here of it? If you’re an outdoorsy type, you probably have. For a whole week in August, we’ll be concerning ourselves with nothing more than backpacking, trout fishing, and day hiking. Well, of course I’ll have a guitar. And plenty of time to write, for sure. But I’m afraid that I won’t be doing much climbing while I’m there…
Getting outdoors helps me recharge my batteries – mentally, physically, emotionally; and I’m really looking forward to spending some time with good friends, basking in the glory exuded by nature, and remembering again what it’s like to live simply. Here’s a picture from the USGS of the Cirque of Towers – right where we’ll be.
