Here’s a beefy post with no pictures. Mostly comprised of news. Really, really good news!

First, about my last post - the one about me getting national exposure for my work - if you want to listen to the Terence Blanchard show, you need Real Player, which is free. Also, there are two “listen now” links on this web page. The first is the University of Michigan Jazz Band, which is just “OK”. The second link is actually the Terence Blanchard portion of the show. If you’re into jazz in any way, it’s worth a listen. FYI.

Second, Stacy passed the Oregon Bar exam!! Hooray!!

Third, I now work part time at a venue-slash-recording studio called “Mississippi Studios” here in Portland. You can check out our website here. Pretty cool. I’m a jack of all trades at this small business (studio recording work, front of house sound reinforcement, tending bar, production manager, etc…) …it’s a great place.

Fourth, Portland was just written up in Slate. Check it out here.

Told you it was beefy! :-D
