Good God.

OK, it's been an eventful fall. My 7 year relationship crashed and burned and I've been working like a dog and buying a house (did you know that they will, apparently, sell a house to anyone? A-ny-o-ne?). Speaking of dogs, I also had to give up my white boxer, Ivy. She's in a good home. I didn't have her put to sleep or anything, so relax.

New pictures coming soon.

More exciting stuff in the works

Cruise Ship Drummer! brand clothing coming soon! My friend Jennifer Adams (owner of the ultra-hip Pied Cow coffee house) are working up some samples to hustle to the local boutiques. Jennifer is a genius when it comes to turning thrift store crap into art. I'm hoping to have some stuff in Seaplane and other Portland stores by October. Soon you can visit our site (www.cruiseshipdrummer.com) though there won't be much to look at for a couple of weeks because, hey, the river becons.

In other news, my band from the Queen Of The West will be doing a lot more work on land this winter and in 2006. We'll be known as The Notables, and we want to play at your wedding/bar mitzvah/bris! "The hippest shlock in the business!" is going to be our motto. Our site will be up in the next week or two at www.the-notables.com.

No new posts!

It's going to be pretty damned skimpy over here for awhile, kids. Check out the action at my Cafepress store though- cool new designs are coming fast and furious.

New merchandise on Cafepress!

Lots of cool new stuff at my cafepress store. I'm off the boat this weekend, so hopefully I'll have something to post on the blog.

Ainsworth Junction!


Near Sacajawea Park in eastern Washington, where the boat docks on Mondays.  Posted by Hello

Ainsworth Junction. That's where I took this picture.  Posted by Hello

OK, so I chopped off the top of the signal. What can I say? Richard Avedon I ain't. In a purely abstract sense it works OK, but in a photograph people want to know where's the top of the signal.  Posted by Hello

Tracks. One set. Posted by Hello

Tim and Reece at the Columbian Cafe in Astoria. The food sucks, but everyone insists on going there because of these disgusting jalepeno, garlic and pepper jellies they make! Posted by Hello

Tim sits there during the pointless staff meeting. Posted by Hello

Bill jams on the acoustic! Posted by Hello

Bill stands around looking blank. Posted by Hello
