Cassie, Thanks so much for coming out yesterday and being a part of the evening. I'm always stoked to see your picture and it was really great to get to talk with you and hear your wonderful news! YES!
Hope you have a great day today! Keep Shootin' and Keep Rockin'. -Smitty
Coming to Columbus this weekend from Leipzig Germany is Simone Weisenfels. Simone is a really cool lady who has been performing in Europe for over 25 years. We met about 6 months ago and decided we wanted to make some music. So we are doing a little tour over the next couple of weeks, we'll be playing a string of dates in Columbus.
Simone is a classical and jazz musician/composer who's influences range from Frank Zappa, jazz drummer Jack Dejohnette, 20th century classical, to death metal bands like Necrophagist & Purgatory.
Simone is very active in many scenes in Europe. She performs with Orchestras, out-jazz groups, performance artists, and many DJs. She's an aggressively creative woman who's hard to funnel. She is also super cool and has a really great attitude, sense of humor and a refreshing free thinking about music.
We have collaborated through sharing written music & swapping tracks over the net, but this will be our first venture into performing live together. I am very excited to bring her here to the USA and to Columbus. She is one of the most open minded and intelligent people and musicians I have met in a very long time. What we'll be doing is lots of spontaneous music mixed with some of her own strange and unique compositions.
Attached is a list of dates and locations. Many here in C-bus. Come check this out, Simone is very excited about coming here and connecting with many different kinds of musicians & artists. She has a passion and attitude about music that is very special. ...Oh did I mention she is a monster on the piano?....
Please feel welcome to email me on myspace with any questions!

Hey Cassie! Just wanted to say a big thank you for the sweet Deadsea pics from the Surly-Blowout. All the pics you took from that look awesome! I love how the tent is all glowy and looks like some sort of Sci-fi teleport.
