Central Square
Musical Genius
I had the honor & pleasure of being invited to play trumpet on a couple of tracks with the incomparable Brendan Burns yesterday, so of course I took a few snapshots during our downtime.
I’d also like to direct your attention to Emperor Norton’s Stationary Marching Band’s Kickstarter to fund our next album. We’ve got some crazy, awesome music we want to share with the world and your support is much appreciated.

A rare self-portrait, after a late dinner at Clover post-Pretty Boys practice. Clickenzee to embiggen to the ludicrous full-size 24mpix file.

Intrigued
One of the many buildings in/around Central Square which have always intrigued me. This one in particular seems like it used to be an apartment building, but is empty now (all of the ground floor windows and doorways are boarded up). Yet, there’s stuff on many of the balconies along the side. It’s in a fantastic location too, which adds to the strangeness of its apparent idleness.

Messy
Happy New Year
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.
Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re Doing Something.
So that’s my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody’s ever made before. Don’t freeze, don’t stop, don’t worry that it isn’t good enough, or it isn’t perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.
Whatever it is you’re scared of doing, Do it.
Make your mistakes, next year and forever.
