You all know that I do not ask you for money and I do not re-post things. But. This June, my very dear friends Martha Enson, Caela Bailey, Sari Breznau, and a few others are presenting a new, original musical called Venus and the Vixens, a retelling of the legend of Cupid and Psyche. (Martha wore the amazing champagne glass dress at V’s and my wedding in October, and Caela officiated.) The cast and band are incredible, and the heart and work that has gone into it is incredible. I have the honor to be the sound tech, and some of the composing work has happened at V’s & my cabin, which I feel super proud about.

A production like this takes a lot of love, a lot of work, and a lot of money. We are begging all our friends: can you help make this happen? We have a Kickstarter: http://bit.ly/VenusandtheVixensKicky

Disclaimer: I will be getting paid as a sound tech, because we’re trying to pay all of the cast and crew, but I have already donated way much more to the Kickstarter than I expect to get paid, because *this stuff matters. Art matters. Seattle’s theater and circus scene matters.*

Please, please, help make this happen. And come to the show: it will be fantastic.

Venus & the Vixens: Games of Love An interactive rock musical, and joyous antidote to isolation and technology overload. This immersive theatrical experience has it all!

A lot of people have had bad things happen to them in the storms hitting California. My friend Ronan Chris Murphy is one of these people. Fortunately he and his partner are uninjured (so, better off than many folks). But a 150’ redwood bisected their house/studio. While he was in it. The building is totalled and tens of thousands of dollars of studio gear is destroyed, and of course this is also his livelihood. Much of this - as those of you in the music biz will understand - will not be adequately covered by insurance.

Check out his video here. He’s trying to get some money to cover expenses. He’s got a GoFundMe but also is generously offering his 12-hour course on drum recording, normally $247, to anyone who pays anything. I watch his videos and have learned a lot.

A giant tree destroyed my studio!! If you would like to help raise funds by paying what you want for my Drum Recording Boot Camp course head on over to https://drumrecordingbootcamp.com A dear...
