all sorts of awesome randomness

Ok, this post will be chock full of all sorts of great links and a couple tiny AO updates. Just what you woke up this morning wanting so bad!
First off, last night was the inaugural Square Peg Alliance concert. It was both a songwriter showcase (we each did one song) and a cd release show for Eric Peters, whose new album "Scarce" came out on Tuesday. Cason, Paul, Brent Milligan and I were his band and, man, we had a blast. In the songwriter round I had the band play with me and we did "House of Mirrors" from my new record.
It was really an amazing time, of music, yes, but more so for the community and the time to just enjoy being with each other and supporting each other. I look forward to more of these and was so glad we finally got something off the ground.
Here are some photos that Norman Chin took last night. Thanks Norman.
There has been some cool discussion going on about this post I wrote a few days ago.
Also, a few days ago, I was ichatting with Brannon from Portland Studios, who is doing my album artwork, did Andy P's, and a lot of the Square Peg stuff as well. He was apparently designing a t-shirt for the upcoming Caedmon's tour and didn't have time to get everything done. I told him that I would gladly take over on the t-shirt designing front. After, no lie, only about six minutes with PhotoShop (for the first time ever, I must add) I came out with this little diddy.
Needless to say, he was amazed. For some reason, Caedmon's passed on it. However, if you come to a show wearing this shirt, I guarantee you a free Caedmon's cd. Let's show them what happens when they ignore my designs!
Ella has been sick this week, for the first time in her life. Can you imagine that, I really can't. Anyway, it's been sad, but sweet, since she just wants to be held all week, and I've been more than happy to oblige.
Well, we're going to head out to Baja Burrito to eat lunch with Andy, Randall and Paul, so we'll catch you later. Thanks for stopping by.
Oh, a quick P.S. (I'm adding this a few hours later....) For all you LOST fanatics who saw last night's great episode, Joe Bassett sent me this article by some reporter who thinks he's figured it all out. Not sure, but he has some interesting ideas. Man, I love that show. The fake beard... dang.

I want to know where AP got room for lunch after breakfast. I don't think I'll even be hungry tonight for supper.
Last night was a blast. I really had a great time.
Oh, and that BBQ you said was worth eating...man, you were right. That was some good stuff.
the show was really great last night. i had to cut out after you played "house of mirrors" so i didn't get to see EP's second set, but I definitely enjoyed all I got to see. I was hoping to say hi to you and alison but i would've had to push my way through the thousands that were there...
Man... I wish I could get a hold of a studly tee-shirt like that ;) Man I wish I could've made that Square peg show... it's only an 8-hr drive from LA =( speaking of, are you REALLY coming through ruston on your way to Arkadelphia March 30? Man, that would SO rock my socks off... and for what it's worth, you and the Normals spoiled me on enjoying superficial music... your honesty inspired me to be honest too, and still does. Keep up the work God's given ya.

It has three things going for it: 1) It has primary colors (blue and red) that together create a visual tension, 2) it solidifies the exclamation point's usage as a typographic and emotional symbol of joy, 3) it employs lowercase words (as in "awesome"), which the younger generation finds so appealing. (And it was made by a twenty-something member of Generation Awesome, which obviously helps when designing sweet shirts.)
Do you mean Baja Fresh? Or did you really mean Baja Burrito?
