back in business

finally i get my site back after 4 days. after checking her out and making sure she’s ok, i have many catch-ups to do.

first: why my website was down. see, when i throw art shows at each of the PSP venues, i have out a sign-in sheet. people come to the show, see the work and voluntarily sign up on the list. no problem, right? then when i have another show featuring another artist, and email goes out to those people about it and violia! more people come to the next one. cool huh? it’s called DIY marketing. due to the way i send these emails out, sometimes they end up in peoples SPAM folder and their nifty little office email robots clean me out and report me directly to my hosting company. so then i’m a spammer after that and they flag me and shut me down. as in shut down my site, my email, everything. totally rad, huh?

second: jason roberts and i went to the Texas Theatre the other evening:

we’re planning a benefit that will be held there later this fall. think cool local bands coming together with cool local artists in the historic Texas Theatre to directly benefit hurricane victims that have ended up in dallas.

third: oooooo, last night at the new barley house. (the old one was obviously much cooler, this one is like a chili’s or a bennigan’s, or a harrigan’s or some other dime-a-dozen chain restaurant inside…. think hunter green, wood, and brass. ewww.) regardless of the less than interesting décor, palaxy tracks (my new fave band, omg) and the happy bullets played. Check it:
