My Pics On My Way To The Office

Hopefully with this post I will learn to insert a picture into the body of the post. so here goes..

MY WAY TO THE OFFICE

So I leave my house with my boy Brint who I drop off a Cedar Ridge High School on the way.

Here he is joyfully wagging his tail as we are ready to board my car.











Next we drive past a some low fog in the early AM on the NC back roads ... and some old farm house fixer upper charm.



















So here I arrive at Redeye HQ Haw River NC. Walkin' up.


what is Redeye?








Like our fax machine? Complete and powered on by a John Doe overlord pictorial (you know the famed LA punk rocker of X). Very nice.















Now our foyer memorabilia case below: Chuck D autograph of Public Enemy pics + Flavor Flav signed clock, Australian garage rockers Radio Birdman signed disc, original cartooned Robyn Hitchcock LP jacket, 6 NARM award bowls (proud), and you can see the top of Casey Kasum's head. ... on and on.










And last but not least, a quick pit stop into the sales office and a chat with indie sales manager Rusty King (key'n in the early morn orders)... Then off to my den of work place.















The End. Ta dah!!!

Keep it Up

So.. I continue to try my blog. Yesterday I added Twitter to my blog. I am going to try to make use of it on my road trip across the country visiting records stores and customers later this month. I tested it a few times to see how it works and found it pretty easy to use. I leave on Friday. The plan is to Twitter and Flickr throughout the trip. I've tried a couple of Flickr uploads and it's pretty easy too. I hope to blog post the pictures of the stores and the shows as I travel from City to city. First stop is a flight to Portland OR to hook up with with Terry Currier and friends to see Liam Finn open for Crowded House. More on that later.

Oh, I also took some pictures of my two boys. You can see them in the flicker widget to the right. The older boy is Brint (whimsical thinker) and Finn (action packed).
