I’m sure by now, hundreds of thousands of people are wondering where I am.  I’m sure throngs of people are lined up outside Square Tire Headquarters asking, “Where’s that guy that posts Get Set Go blogs?  You know, the one who’s not Mike TV.  I think he plays the cello or something.  He hasn’t posted any ramblings for me to not care about in over a week!”  And there’s probably much wailing and lamentation.  Well, I’ll tell you where I’ve been.

See, in about a week, Get Set Go is gonna play a show.  It’s the record release show for Adam Marsland’s Chaos Band.  They recorded a really great double album called “Go West,” and I played viola on two of the songs.  So not only am I playing with Get Set Go at that show, I’m also playing with AMCB that night.  And not ONLY only am I playing viola with AMCB that night, I am also playing piano, guitar, and Hammond organ with AMCB that night.  And singing.

So you see, I’ve been busy rehearsing with Adam’s band, and also brushing up on my secondary instruments.  I played piano for quite a while, and was actually pretty good at one point, and now I’m trying to get my keyboard chops back.  And I’ve been a sloppy, lazy guitar player for some time now, so I’m trying to get some guitar chops at all that I can use for playing the guitar.  I guess what I’m trying to say is that it’s going to be an enormously fun show for everyone, and an enormously active show for me.  So if you like enormous fun, and/or want to see me be Mr. Multifacet (of the Boston Multifacets), then you should come to Brennan’s Pub in Marina Del Rey on July 31 at 8 pm.  Our friend Mike Schnee, AKA Chissum Worthington, will be opening.  Then Adam Marsland’s Chaos Band will play the entirety of their double album, comprising 23 songs, featuring me on a thousand or so different instruments (well, four).  And then Get Set Go will play.  And then maybe I’ll finish my beer and get some sleep.

Wow, did I just get through a blog without even one mention of demon-summoning?  Thank the great and all-powerful Nyarlathotep!
