Time to stop thinking it&#8217;s going to be more frequent and accept that I sort of suck at this &#8220;regular blogging thing&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been playing some great solo shows at a new venue (to me) called &#8220;Scoreboard&#8221;. I have a lot of fun there. I also just played my first show at Quinns in Round Rock. That was delightful and I kind of killed it, which made me feel like I&#8217;m getting good at this solo thing.<\/p>\n<p>The new trio that&#8217;s starting up is still in progress, though we grow ever closer to gigs. We haven&#8217;t settled on a name for it yet, but it&#8217;s definitely been fun putting it together. Once we pick a name we&#8217;ll book some shows and force this thing into being. I thought it&#8217;d be funny to call it &#8220;Roman Candle&#8221; since that was the most common mistake people made with &#8220;Roman Holiday&#8221;, and this is essentially the same stuff (though it will get different as time passes).<\/p>\n<p>On the creative front, well, that&#8217;s just stalled. I&#8217;m not feeling very inspired, so I&#8217;m not writing, but I have been playing some of my existing originals live, and they&#8217;ve gotten a good response, so that makes me feel good.<\/p>\n<p>Next show is at Scoreboard on July 9th (this Saturday), and then a break for about a month. Maybe we can use that time for whipping the new band into shape and getting it some gigs. Here&#8217;s hoping!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading, and let me know if you have any good band name ideas you&#8217;d like to share. We&#8217;re not excited about much of anything we&#8217;ve thought of so far.<\/p>\n<p>Peace be the journey!<br \/>\nTMS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So my updates apparently are coming every three months or so now.
