I’m forcibly committing myself to performing at Songfight Live! in Boston, August 12-14.

Right now it’s shaping up to be a very short, laptop heavy performance, but I’ve recruited the Sober Irishman to help me out, and he’s encouraging a more organic approach.

Anyway, I’m hoping to do these 4 songs:

Please Don’t Call Me Ken
Blimps
Twin Kiss
More Than Soup

Any ideas how I can break out of the karaoke-mold for these songs? I have a few live-looping ideas, but I have not yet confirmed they will work.

Regardless, I’m excited and nervous, and I have a lot of preparation to do!

So, the Hoff is trying to break into the house music scene.

Heuristics Inc. did some live streaming for a Tapegerm event last weekend. His sets are posted here.

Good stuff.

When we were on vacation last week, we randomly bought Carcassonne, which turned out to be a famously awesome game.

Inspired by this brief foray into the world of games I never heard of, I ordered two more that come highly regarded: San Juan and Ticket to Ride.

I’m looking specifically for games that are particularly good for 2 people, but you can mention anything you want. I’ll report on the quality of these ones that I ordered, once I see what they’re like.
