I Object!

My post was cut off.

What I was saying was, if you find my blog objectional, why don't you contact me and discuss it? I won't flame you, I'm a nice guy. Otherwise, I'll think you're just someone who has way too much time on their hands and is easily offended and shouldn't venture out of their house and be exposed to the real world. Let me tell you, I could be REAL offensive. But I choose not to be. There's enough crap out there.

Peace.

A Good Evening

Tonight there was a showing at a gallery and a reception for the artist. The Gallery is Fort Collin's own Walnut Street Gallery (The Art of Rock 'n Roll www.walnutst.com) and the artist was Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann. Laura and I went for the private reception at six o'clock. This is the third time we've met Bill. He's a wonderful guy and one of the best drummers on the planet. The last time we saw him he gave us tips on where to go and what to see in Hawaii. His art is made on computer using Photo SHop and is transfered to canvas. It's very psychedelic with images upon images with good use of color. It's reasonable as far as cost goes too. We didn't get much one on one time with Bill, but I did give him one of Tuatha's CD's and told him it was nothing like The Grateful Dead.

I got to meet another person tonight as well, a fellow named John Turk who produces The Jay Marvin Show on AM 760 KZZN in Denver. (www.am760.net.) Jay is a lefty talk show host who I enjoy and have been listening to since before the 2006 election. John is the guy who screens the calls, gets guests on and sometimes pipes in with his own commentary. He's also a big jam-band fan, especially Widespread Panic. They've been talking about music, art and literature more now that the election is over and I gave him contact info on Tuatha. We got on like old pals. He brought a friend who lives here in Fort Collins named Paige who Laura struck up a conversation with and we didn't hear from them for quite a while. Very cool guy. It's a little odd to be looking for someone you never met, who you feel you know because you listen to them on the radio. I had no idea what he looked like, I just knew his voice. I was listening for it, but never heard it until he came up to me. (I'd left him an e-mail after listening to his interview with Bill Kreutmann this morning discribing myself.) It's even better to discover they're down to earth, good folks.

Thanks to Laura and Bill at Walnut St. Gallery for hosting the shindig. One of these days we'll be able to buy more art!

Is This Blog Objectional?

Someone has flagged my blog as objectional. Huh? I reread some of my posts. The only thing I found that to me seems like it could be considered objectional is my take on the movie Goldfinger. It was made in 1965 or there abouts. In case you weren't alive back then, people looked at the world a lot differently then they do now. In some ways it's better, in others worse. If you have a problem with my perspective
