The Fun Barn - Part Deux

I spent the day painting the barn and making a time-lapse piece in the process.

Lady, get outta my frame.

I made a video last night of the Wichita River Festival's Sundown Parade. I used my video camera and a still camera to do a time-lapse piece of the event. In all the festival crazines,  I forgot about the still camera and stepped in front of it a few times. If you look closely, you can find Denise in a few frames, too. Oops.

Greensburg, Kansas: You might have heard of us...We're kind of a big deal.

Spent a couple of days last week in Greensburg, Kansas. I stopped at the new gift shop at the Big Well and spotted this T-shirt. I really wanted it, but I recently gave a way a ton of T-shirts and it just didn't seem like the right thing to do. I did, however, purchase a lovely postcard for Brian Corn.

Here's a video I made of a Greensburg resident and here's one I did of President Bush's visit to the town.

Gridiron '08

This is how I spent the last month of my life.

Art at the Arb

I just got back from "Art at the Arb" at Bartlett Arboretum. In my very biased opinion, the best art at the Arb was Robin Macy and her band (featuring the talented Carter Green on bass and hot guitar licks by Kentucky White who snuck a Guns N' Roses lick in at the end of the show). They performed tunes from "Songs from the Garden," Robin's first solo album. It was incredible to see three of my favorite people in the world (and my top three Myspace friends) playing together.

The album took over a year to make at Greenjeans Studios and it's incredible. I've heard it about 200 times and I still get goosebumps when I press play.

My friends in Vermont sent me Flat Stanley last week as part of a project their daughter is involved with. Enjoy our journey together.

Aaaaieeee!

The Mudbugs are getting ready for our first gig on Sat. It's at the Fun Barn near Winfield and it's a fund-raiser for a festival in Arkanas City. The info is below and if you wanna come, you must get a ticket in advance. It's a long haul and we hope to be playing a little closer to home in the future.

We recorded some songs during practice a few weeks back. Here's a Cajun classic called "Diggy Liggy Lo."

WARNING: You're gonna dance. The music is too groovin' to keep your feet still.

Check out Greg's killer accordion moves. Expect to see more at the show.

Fashion Passion

I just posted a video I made for Kansas.com about the making of our fashion section. I had fun using some new techniques.
