It’s Joe, with a note for the Spring.


I hope your April has been good and that you’ve got your garden plotted out. If not, there’s still time and I am glad for that because personally, I’m not sure what to do with the special bean seeds I received from some nice people at my show in Kalamazoo.


For a stretch in Spring ’22, I was ending tour shows by tossing out seed...

Me and my slow reflexes got back into video games after a decade-long break. Figured I would share some thoughts as well as my appreciation for Red Dead Redemption 2. I know I barely scratched the surface but talking with actor Roger Clark (Arthur Morgan) was incredible and the original music by Dan Deacon is too.
