I'm a Lover in a Dangerous Time

May, Mark and I (among many others) went to see JBM open for Rogue Wave at the El Rey on Wilshire last night. As always, it was a lovely, stirring performance by Jesse. He is one of few musicians  that sound just as good live as on a recording. Indeed, there was nary a dry eye in the audience. He has that effect.

Rogue Wave was great. We ended up talking with Jesse during the actual show, but our ears perked up when we heard songs we especially liked by them (Eyes is a beautiful song). They are incredibly nice guys. I know I vouch for May and Mark when I say it was a pleasure to meet Dominic and Pat, as well as tour manager Jake at Froggy's the night before.  

Their final show on this current tour is in San Francisco tonight at the Fillmore.
It's the end of a long and exhausting road. 
So on that note, May uploaded Jesse's version of Lovers in a Dangerous Time on the official website under Music. Go have a look see!

Swag

These last few days have been pretty freakin' busy, what with all the planning, getting in touch with people/media and organizing needed to get the Kootenay tour off without a hitch. Things are looking good after a few days of uncertain DOOM. I promise it was an interesting couple of afternoons.

In the meantime, I've managed to change the look of the blog itself, improve it, make it look slightly if not more official, if that's the word. Though, there may be a few more changes needed before it's perfect. Any suggestions? I even learned some HTML! I admire anyone who designs websites and speaks it fluently. Geniuses.

Anyway, May and Mark are designing the t-shirts that will be for sale on the tour, and of course, beyond (on the website, etc.). I won't say anything about what they look like, except that they're awesome and I want one. Or two.

That said, none of it matters if you can't relax a little afterward. Lost is always a welcome break. Then again, trying to comprehend what's going on in that show is definitely a form of work too. So maybe it's not such a good idea? Perhaps something a little less thought-provoking is better, like Castle. Ah yes, Castle.

Make sure to check back soon as I'll be posting some videos from the various festivals that Lovers premiered at in the next day to two.

Until then, take care!
