Meh
I feel conflicted about this, but my band, The Blissters, is participating in one of those band-contests where people go to a website and vote, and the bands with the most votes get to play a show at a good venue. (To vote for us, click here.) This sort of thing is basically just freeContinue reading “Meh”

Non-zombie post: I am proud of Arnold Madlangbayan
As I’ve noted before, not every post on this blog will be about zombies, and today I want to write a post to recognize my friend Arnold Madlangbayan, guitarist/singer/songwriter in my band the Blissters for doing his first feature print interview! It appeared yesterday in The Windy City Times, one of Chicago’s gay newspapers. (Chicago doesn’tContinue reading “Non-zombie post: I am proud of Arnold Madlangbayan”
