BLOG BEST - 2004
Tomorrow is the first anniversary of the old bloggerino. In tribute to writing far too much that was far too self-indulgent, I thought I would toast the entries of 2004 with a veritable cornucopia of links to old posts -- enjoy, and feel free to wish the blog a happy birthday!
(JANUARY was before electronic recorded history had begun...)
FEBRUARY and MARCH contained retroactive posts, but was some of my best blogging thus far -- it's always a great sign when you've peaked before you've even gotten started... I told the tale of our trip to Ohio Wesleyan University (part 1, part 2, part 3)...
APRIL had me floating at SpaceTime Tanks, followed by totaling my car, and ended with my desperate attempt to start a letter-writing campaign to the makers of The Sopranos...
In MAY I had my first Brazilian food, flew out to Colorado (part 1, part 2, part 3), I got a phone call from Milt Allen, and had a rehearsal at St. Charles...
JUNE delared my website only 37% evil... and I got to see Paradise Lost, Courage & Compassion, and Hanson!
JULY was when I finished the wind ensemble piece for Nicki, had to come up with a name for it... I also went kayaking, barked like a dog, and talked about buffalo wings.
In AUGUST I cleaned my apartment. Oh, and I responded to some flak about putting an electric guitar in an acoustic ensemble.
SEPTEMBER was my trip to Alpharetta, Georgia to see Randall Coleman and his gang (part.1) (part.2) (part.3)... we also figured out a name for the BCM CD... and I decided to take matters into my own hands with the premiere of TranZendental Danse of Joi...
OCTOBER witnessed the birth of WIND ENSEMBLE X. It was also INSANE with travel -- I was in 7 different cities in 4 weeks! I started the month with a trip to Las Vegas... did a reading of TranZendental Danse of Joi in St. Charles, IL... then a few days later we recorded TranZendental Danse of Joi in Columbus, OH... all 4 BCM'ers met up in New York City for interviews with NewMusicBox and The Instrumentalist... then Newman, Steve, and I headed down to Texas to record with Tarleton University... and the three of us found ourselves in Duluth, MN for Halloween...
NOVEMBER was full-tilt, high energy -- the last big push to the end of the year. We finished the BCM CD... and there were some days that were so fast-paced and jam-packed that I thought they would never end...
DECEMBER -- wow, I was very outspoken in December. That was the month that the BCM video interview was published on NewMusicBox.org... then there was also my rant against the Trans-Siberian Orchestra... and my take on a controversial BCM forum post entitled, "Variety Pack".

I love these type of entries... it's like those clip shows on tv where they needed some time to fill so they take us on a trip down memory lane...
2004:
I, uh...had a sandwich.
