Hey Nick, the album is coming along pretty slowly. Mostly because my wife is going to have a baby in a couple of months, so I haven't had as much time to work on it. Hopefully it'll be done early next year. Thanks for asking. See you around.
What's up Nick--just a quick note to let you know that I'll be the feature at the Berkeley Freight and Salvage open mic this tuesday,nov. 8th. I'll go on at 8:30pm. Come out if you can. Thanks.
