I apologize, yet again, for the utter lack of visuals on my blog. I have never been a big fan of posting pictures along with my entries, though I know that on some occasions I should really consider doing it as I know I have pertient images relative to the content of my posts that would add that much more depth for the reader.
Ah well.. I don’t really have time for it right now!
Our house is busier than usual the past 2 days because on Monday we picked up our puppy!! Amy and I are giving a great home to a wonderful black lab puppy (8 weeks old!) we have named Zephyr. We have been going through the initial stages of puppy-dom and so far so great! He has been a blast from the get go, and while he is a handful as he does his puppy things (exploration, eating, energy burning, FRAPPING), it has been rather smooth. We have only had one ‘accident’ so far, and he is fairly responsive already to our training and commands. I’m sure that will be more of a challenge as he moves into the puppy equivalent of the terrible twos. 
Last week was pretty sweet. Cameron and I went to Guitar Center to check out some digital drum sets. Cameron is friend of mine who is a great dummer and we’re planning out some side projects for music. He is going to pick up a digital set that will be more portable, interface with all of the electronics and recording hardware/software I have, and be much quieter for future apartment living– I can imagine it would be very frustrating to love drumming and not have a viable way to really let loose when you live in close proximity of your neighbors.
Jeff, Cameron and I were hanging out over the weekend and we threw down some amazing ideas for a project (which, due to the awesomeness of it I can’t spill the beans!), as well as some ideas to involve Cameron into the Silver Standard line up. More great times ahead!
Speaking of Silver Standard, Jeff and I are moving closer to having the full LP version of our previous release (The Silver Standard EP) ready for digital release and limited hard copy prints. We are also planning some smaller marketing packages and materials to help get our name out there in the Seattle music community (of course, taking full advantage of the resources we have online so we can reach a wider audience as well).
Just a quick post for now. I really need to take some time and sit down to get pictures, sound clips, and blogs in order. Oi!
