This really isn't a reminder for you but more of one for me. No joke, I spaced that I had a vox in general, and now I am slightly embarrassed at how long since I have posted. In the interim I have bought a house, got engaged... uh... gained and lost weight...
Lets see. I think that is about it.
It's been a very long time since I posted here, hasn't it.
Mostly that's because I have no idea what to post here. All my personal and day-to-day stuff goes in my LJ, or in my paper journal. With a public blog like this one, I feel like I should be saying something of interest all the time--or that I should at least be focused on a particular theme, like education or folk music or spirituality or photos or things I make. I don't know. I wish I had some room in my head to think about it.

At the risk of losing any anonymity I have over here, I direct you to Chicago Acoustic Underground, where you can download an episode featuring...well...me, my guitar, my songs, and my nervous laughter. Direct download right here. Enjoy.
This is probably my favorite duo and my favorite duet of all time: Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer singing "Kate and the Ghost of Lost Love." Enjoy.
Funnily enough, my dad just bombarded me with about 100 old family photos, and I've spent some of tonight putting them up in a Flickr gallery.
Just to give you a taste:
So that cross-posting thing was a bust. Sorry about that.
Here, have a Vox Hunt answer.
Most of the art in our apartment comes from Jay Ryan. Someday when we're old, we're going to go on Antiques Roadshow with our collection of his prints and posters, and we will find out that they're worth a ridiculous amount of money, and we will say, "Ha ha, we got them for free," and then we'll retire to a private island where we will eat ice cream and watch Scrubs DVDs all day long. Let this be a lesson to any of you who have ever considered volunteering to sell merch for your favorite musician: working the merch table leads directly to private islands where ice cream and John C. McGinley abound. IT'S TRUE!
I've set up cross-posting with Livejournal to see if it works any better than using a vomit-prone syndicated feed. This is a test of the cross-posting feature. This is only a test. If this were an actual Vox post, I would tell the nice Vox Hunt people that I wish I could sing like Florence Foster Jenkins, and then I would embed an mp3 of her singing the Queen of the Night's aria, which is only slightly less annoying than the noise that usually follows a test of the Emergency Broadcast System.
This concludes our test. Thank you, and goodnight.
