I'm pleased to say that I was recently asked by Sarah Jaffe and Kurtland Records to write the press bio for Sarah's new record Suburban Nature. As you may know, Sarah is just another person to drink too much of the water in Denton, TX, thus leading to amazing albums and tours with the likes of Midlake and Norah Jones.
The process of writing it went really well for everyone involved, so I was invited last week to write the press release for Kurtland artist, Smile Smile for their video Truth on Tape.
As soon as I get a copy of both with the proper letterhead on it I'll throw them up for people to read.

Blogging
I've been doing something I never saw myself doing on a regular basis. Blogging. I've never liked the word. Kind of how I've never liked the word noshing. It's just gross. Despite my disdain for the word, when given a platform through a company, I actually have a really good time with it.
The creative services firm 52LTD in Portland Ore. has been having me do "free blogging" for them recently, giving me total control to write about whatever I want to concerning advertising, SEO and just being creative in general. I wish I could show them off, but they have not been published yet.
Something that is ready to read now is the first of many blogs I am writing for the NX35 music festival. Aside from the "Five Primer" stuff I'm writing, I will be doing some long form pieces for them as well. View this work here.

Urban Daddy
Recently I was asked to be a guest editor for the online men's magazine Urban Daddy. Here is my favorite piece I wrote for them.
She'll Get a Crush on You
Fact - Women like wine.
Fact - Bring a truly unique bottle to the table and you can get away with cheese and crackers...which means you don't have to cook.
So if you’re like us and culinarily challenged (or just looking for something exclusive) Sacred Cellars is your new solution. Located just north enough of Uptown to lose all pretense, you’ll know your there when you see nothing that could possibly resemble a storefront. And then you do.
A former loading dock plays host to an outside seating area that has been implemented with enough charm to make your date swoon before you even get to the door. Oh yea, we forgot to mention you have a date with you because you signed up for Sacred’s secret email list that keeps you in the know about their premium wine tasting nights.
Come in, grab two glasses and introduce yourself to the owner Paul. Then let him pour your date a sip of something blasphemously good. Don’t worry; the tear that just formed on her check is only the regret of not meeting you sooner.
After you’ve tried four or five, grab a bottle or two to take back home with you. And just remember…
You may not can cook, but you’ve got skills.
