Review of moe. at the Fillmore

My 71st (!) moe. show, and second in San Francisco. I was fortunate enough to cover the band for the first time for the Register.

Review of Mariah Carey at the Gibson

Never seen anything like this. Here's my Mariah review.

IT'S HERE!

I'm incredibly pleased and proud to announce the publication of my second novel, Through the Night and Wind. From concept to completion has been an almost two-year labor of love. I've had help from so many wonderful people along the way (you know who you are--your names are in the back of the book) and I feel truly blessed to present this work to the world.

You can buy Through the Night and Wind at two online retailers (for now; there are many more coming in 2010):

1. Infinity Publishing

and

2. Amazon

(Either one works, although Amazon's shipping time is a little speedier.)

Once you have the book in hand (or you're simply curious), check out the Reading Guide, with online links to encyclopedia entries, YouTube videos, full texts of plays and poems, recipes and much, much more.

I hope you enjoy Through the Night and Wind. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I did writing it!

Review of Widespread Panic at the Orpheum

Some good points, some bad points. Loved "Driving Song" into "Disco" and the encores.

Review of Hanson at Club Nokia

Yeah, they're still touring. Doing a pretty decent job of it, too. Here's my Register review.
