First off, how the hell is everyone? My leisure Internet-ing has cut way back since I started a new marketing gig in October, which is why I've been scarce around these parts. Since then I've met Jasmine/red in person purely by chance at a b'fast diner in Austin (and again on Red River a couple nights later), attended Cory's engagement party, wrote my ass off during SXSW, checked in on Phil after he cheated death again, and had brunch w/ Mowery (along w/ my mother). Life's been good.

I've been writing for RS, Spin and lots of other outlets, and I've even got my own index page on rollingstone.com;

The piece I wrote this morning might be of interest around here.

Read that fourth graf; Willie, Kristofferson, Jamey Johnson and Shooter Jennings doing "The Highwayman" together. That bunch has got to account for 17% of America's unsolved murders over the last four decades.

I'll probably be poking my head in more often now. Y'all be good.
