a new year

Hi everyone. I'm not going to do a year-in-review or -in-advance post, just say what's going on right now:

Kate and I are up at her parents' place in the mountains near Denver. I was hoping to fly out with her, breaking a long streak of not traveling by air, but by the time I got organized, plane tickets were really expensive. So I took Amtrak. A long trip, made longer (39 hours!) by bad weather and Union Pacific, but mostly relaxing. I took pictures, but I forgot to bring the card reader that would let me upload them.

New albums are in the air! Tin Cat laid down basic tracks last month at our friend Cameron's cool new studio. I've been working on a little home studio for DeatHat, and Kate's been thinking about what'll be on the full-length record. And I'm having hazy gossamer ideas about a possible solo project.

Somewhat surprisingly, I applied for a job last week. I've been doing contract work since PlaceWare and I parted ways in 2003; this is the first time I've tried to get a full-time, permanent position. It sounds really cool. I'll tell you more if it pans out.

if you get work, how will I know when you're at Barefoot?

Happy New Year, Erik!

So, are we ever going to see a photo of you and Kate or what? Any trips to southern California in the works??
