Drums

drumsOnce upon a time, Max wanted to be the next John Bonham. We got him some drums and he took some lessons for a couple of months. Once he realized that in spite of his natural sense of rhythm, he would still actually have to practice, he decided to be a singer instead. Hence I have a set of drums sitting in the basement that are looking for a new owner.

Remo Lagero Travelling Drum Kit
22” Bass, 14”Snare
10”,12”,15” Toms
18” Crash, 14”Hi-hat cymbals
All hardware and Cases included
The drums nest inside each other and fit into the case.

They’re in good shape having been used only sparingly since being purchased 1 1/2 years ago. I’m looking for about $300 or the best offer. If you’re interested drop me an e-mail with the contact form at the top of the page.

Is this what America stands for now?

Jose PadillaJose Padilla was held in a naval brig for 3 1/2 years in total isolation, except for his interrogations and now appears to be a broken man. Over on Dvorak.org/blog today I found this:

“Today is May 21,” a naval official declared to a camera videotaping the event. “Right now we’re ready to do a root canal treatment on Jose Padilla, our enemy combatant.”

Several guards in camouflage and riot gear approached cell No. 103. They unlocked a rectangular panel at the bottom of the door and Mr. Padilla’s bare feet slid through, eerily disembodied. As one guard held down a foot with his black boot, the others shackled Mr. Padilla’s legs. Next, his hands emerged through another hole to be manacled

Go over there and read the rest. This case alone should be all the reason that we need to impeach Bush and Cheney and put both them and Rumsfeld on trial for crimes against humanity.

Shadow art fair a success again! 8

water towerCongratulations to Mark and all the other organizers of the Shadow Art Fair! This weekends second edition of the fair was another huge success. Apparently the Corner Brewery was packed all night on Friday, so Jules and I went over there early today, and got some Christmas shopping done. We had some great coffee roasted by John Roos, and picked up a print of the Water Tower from Matt Callow (of pinhole fame). The new mayor, Paul Schrieber, Linda French, and other local luminaries (including a rather odd looking Santa) were all in attendance. It was great to see so many dedicated and talented people being rewarded for their efforts. Afterwards my lovely wife and I had some lunch at the Sidetrack, where I had the best fish and chips around. All in all a great day. Don’t forget to go down to the Sidetrack on Tuesday for Dinner and Drinks to support Growing Hope.
