    Ok! The Sundial. Good God, no more stiff updates for the sake of duty and the semblance of an online presence. I’m going for it. I’m doing it. I’m making lots of stiff and putting it up for strangers to judge. I’m entering a new phase in things and am will be fairly productive over the next while. I’m also going to be doing smaller projects, while I focus on the Solidarity Rock project. We’ve got an awesome group of people who are volunteering their time and resources to making rock and roll happen in Cuba. It’s awesome. We’ve got a pile of dates and event happening in the next few months, and we’re going back on tour! That’s right, the third ever Cuban rock tour is happening this March! I personally can’t wait.

    I’ve been writing about it a fair bit over here at the Solidarity Rock blog. You should read all about it.

    I went to Cuba with my wife Susie just before Christmas. We spent two weeks mostly around Sancti Spiritus, visiting Trinidad and Santa Clara as well. It was a good time, and I’ll be posting some photos right away as soon as I finish a couple of other things.

    We’re getting ready for the Kids On Fire/Arrabio tour coming up in Cuba March 24-April 3rd. I’m going to be heading down with my friends Aaron Bocanegra and Sandy Phimester to document the tour. I’ve been friends with Sandy for years, but this is the first chance we have to work together. This trip is going to be pretty amazing and it’ll be the first time a Cuban rock band has been able to tour Cuba. I love the feeling of breaking ground.

    We’re also working on plans for two other tours to happen in May and July. Watch for more info.

    I’m also working on a project called Accuse de Recibo, which I have to get going right away. Basically, my friend Rafael in Sancti Spiritus mailed me two identical drawings. I have redrawn them and will be sending them on to a friend, who will redraw my drawings and send them on, etc. We’re hoping to get 100 drawings and then mount a show. We’ll let you know how it goes.
