Got my bari back from the shop (❤️❤️❤️). Played a gig. Met Anthony Rapp (great singer, fun guy). All in all a decent Sunday in Chicago.

Day two! Avon is back as a junior at NEIU for Music Education and Percussion! We are so proud of their work and so excited to see where they go next (and I’m so glad they aren’t triplets because I can’t do anymore than two days of emotionally moving kids out of the house). @omnikel.bsky.social

Today we drove Charlie — our kind, considerate, courageous, and creative kid (one of two!) — out to start a brand new year as a junior studying Environmental Science at NIU in DeKalb. We are so proud. It was an exciting and tiring and happy/sad kind of day. @omnikel.bsky.social

Back in action, recording for the incomparable Mark Messing and David Carlson, thanks to the last minute wizardry of Matthew R. Bordoshuk who once again fixed my horns through a combination of apparent wizardry and magic. Fun times.

Exciting new chapter from today: Charlie is transferring in the fall to NIU in Dekalb for Environmental Science so I got to spend the day with them at student orientation. Man, that science building is straight out of the 80s and cool AF.

Two months in on owning our new place and we finally got to start doing the projects we wanted to instead of projects we needed to. @omnikel.bsky.social
Measuring out the landscape for raised garden beds while the dog takes in some sun. One new garden bed frame made! Another garden bed frame made! Watering our tomatoes.

Earlier this month we moved into our new home. It’s been a wild ride so far, filled with terror, renovation, and dust collectors that look like they are from Dune. Hope you all have a chance to come visit us! #southEvanston
Movers nearly killing themselves as they navigate bringing our baby grand piano into the house. A gnome, a bottle of Malort, and a bouncy ball. Our hallway covered in plastic during renovations. Cleaning our ducts with a machine that looks like a spice collector from the movie Dune.

I didn’t get to posting much yesterday as I was too busy shooting photos but the #HANDSOFF #CHICAGO was a truly inspiring experience. Rise up. The voices of the few can’t outweigh the voices of the many.

This was really beautiful right up until the point that turbulence made me fear for my life.

Two very different but equally rewarding gigs this week:
- overdubs/mixing at Electrical Audio with Mucca Pazza on some of my original charts For the Record
- rehearsal today and show tomorrow for Vida Blues’ 25th anniversary reunion show at Weeds
The Chicago music scene kicks ass.
