Usually when I sit down to compose a post on this here blog, I seek to describe (what I consider to be) epic-ness with broad strokes. I've been on the road for about a month, & I came home last night, longing for my bed. I didn't even make it, falling asleep on my couch for 12 hrs of blissful reenergizing.
I made it over to Bar 4 here in BK for the Marco Benevento hang tonight, and my ears, eyes, senses, mind marveled at what I witnessed. Maybe it was the ragged cover of James Brown's "I Can't Stand it"? Maybe it was the guest vocalists, including current Scott Metzger bandmate Serenajean crushing a Gillian Welch tune? Maybe it was the Bustle trio of Marco, Scott & Dave playing a subdued, yet perfect version of Zep's "Thank You"? Maybe it was me & Scott & Marco & Dave & Serena & Karina & Gabrielle & Steph & Monica & Josh (who catalyzed the whole night) just hanging in the same room, so immediately post a long stretch for me on the road?
Whatever the notion that takes responsibility, I don't think it matters. What does, for me, is how wonderfully nights like this strike my soul. Just another Monday in Brooklyn. How could I not desperately miss it? I still cannot brag that "I've Been Everywhere" like Mr. Cash, but I've been to a shit ton of places. I'll take Brooklyn with tonight's company anytime.
Do yourself a favor, and listen to some Meat Puppets. I'm digging on II right now, and it's sending me off right.
Stay Gold...

big up to brooklyn
Hello!
I know that this isn't exactly a comment, but I couldn't find your e-mail address, and I wanted to write and tell you about a new website for artists, musicians, fashion designers, and filmmakers: www.PutItOn.com. I've been using the site as an artist and have my work there, and am trying to support it because I believe in it. Basically, the site allows artists from all over the world to connect, display their portfolios, and sell their work (with NO commission taken!). The site gives artists a FREE gigabyte of space to showcase their portfolios, allows you to stream audio and video works, lets you create live personal broadcasts, and translates any writing into ten different languages. If you could take the time to visit the site, and if you like it too, let your readers know about it, and even sign up yourself or link to it on your site it would be greatly appreciated! We are trying to make a go of helping out artists everywhere and are trying to get the word out, so please help us out if you like the site after checking it out! Thank you!
All the best,
Sarah at PutItOn.com
