I didn't get the memo. I biked into Chicago today with the intention of going to the Art Institute. They are open until 9pm, and admission is free, every Tuesday this summer. I've wanted to go for weeks. Only there was one problem. When I arrived at quarter to five, there was a man at the front door who informed me they were closed. Apparently, the free extended hours are on Thursdays, now. Okay, great, so you played commercials on every major, ahem, public. Then I found the new stage. There was a fu...

Terminal Q: April 2008
http://terminalq.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Lime but not sour. Work is nearly complete on the low-cost terminal. At Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The lime green facility opens on the south end of the airport in time for Mexican budget carrier VivaAerobus to launch transborder service between the Texas capital and Monterrey and Cancun tomorrow. Once used by the National Guard, the terminal was originally a kaki color meant to blend with other buildings on the former military base. It was painted green so that it is easier to locate. On th...

Songwriter's Omnibus: May 2008
http://songwriters-omnibus.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Stuff related to songwriting, tips and theories of songwriting, and Brett's thoughts on his own songs. Wednesday, May 21, 2008. Start your own Songpull! I don't happen to live near Parkersburg, West Virginia, which is too bad because it sure would be fun to attend one of John Radcliff's songpull events. Speaking of songpulls, I was listening to a Music Business Radio podcast. With illustrious Ken Mansfield. And lastly Donovan, after which no more could be said or played. Thursday, May 15, 2008. Jule Styn...

Raion Taiko: 2008-10
http://raiontaiko.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
How Hard is it to Play Shime-Daiko. We've been practicing taiko at Asano Taiko for nearly 14 months now. Up till now we have mainly been learning to play nagado taiko. But this past Saturday, at JIGEN practice, we learned that our next song to learn would be all shime-daiko. All nine of us (possibly 11, we may get two new members) lined up on the stage playing shime taiko. For some practice exercises and suggestions when I was at home this past summer, which, of course, he gave me. Now that there is ...

Conversations with Chicago Composers. Photo by Andrew Gill. Birthplace: Washington, DC. Upcoming: Baby Teeth at. Chicago, 07.20.12. March 25, 2012.

And I remember the ...
