Godfuckingdammit.
I had a long post about my Ray-Liotta-at-the-end-of-Goodfellas-like day yesterday, running around Toronto trying to make everything happen for our Tranzac gig last night, but just before I hit "Publish Now," my usually trusty laptop decided to shut down without warning. (I still had plenty of battery power left, so I don't know what's up.) I will try to recreate it for you later, but meanwhile, I just wanted to give a big shout-out to trumpet player Jason Logue for stepping in for a food-poisioning-stricken Lina Allemano at the very last minute. I had actually contacted Jason earlier about doing this tour with us, but... he was unable to make the rehearsals. Huh.
Anyway, he jumped right in and did an amazing job of reading the book down cold. You Torontonians are lucky to have him.
Thanks so much to all who came out to hear us during our first-ever tour. It's been a kick. I am off to try to actually take in some of this conference. Meanwhile, kindly check out this interview I did with Josh Jackson of WBGO. He's also got some audio of our IAJE performance of "Ferromagnetic."

Our winter 2008 tour is now complete, but it's not too late to help support this effort by making a tax-deductible donation.
Great music! Sorry not to have a chance to say hi post-gig.... Another time.
