A great big thanks to everyone who came to see us over the past week!  We had a fantastic time playing, and hope that you found something in the music intriguing enough to look for more.  I'd like to send a special thanks out to my students Jordan Foster and Brian Hanson--without their help, we'd have had a much more difficult time running things smoothly. I'd also like to thank the faculty members of the instituions listed below who helped make this possible.  Check out pictures of the concerts here...

I've been a hard core PC user since about 1993...I can remember how cool and revolutionary Win95 was.  Over the years I've owned (and pwned) maybe 20 or so Windows boxes.  Around 1998 I started building computers, as commercial makes such as Compaq and Packard-Bell were overpriced and underpowered.  i built computers for myself, my folks, and for several clients.    Except for some esoteric large network server systems, I'd match my ability on a PC with any IT pro.  In grad school I maintained the BEAMS electronic music studio which was PC based.  Why am I telling you this?...well just to set the scene, I suppose.
