I’ve been doing video updates on Instagram and YouTube, however I forgot to post something recently here.  On my 46th birthday, I drove to Daytona on the Ninja and bought a few CDs after looking around a couple other stores.  New copies of a greatest hits collection of The Doors, The Beatles’ Magical Mystery Tour and Grateful Dead’s Aoxomoxoa.  At night I saw Minions & Monsters in the cinema.  It was hilarious!  Some of the previews worried me, but I’m glad I went to see it.  The regular Minions aren’t really in the main movie, however there are a ton more.  So I really spoiled myself this year with an Orange Acoustic Crush Amp, a red SE V7 live mic, three classic CDs and a Rode VideoMic Go II!  Well the live mic was partially for donating blood and the USB mic for my phone was a later purchase after research done on my birthday, still a lot to work for this summer.  I’m planning on going to Orlando to see a J Pop Idol show at the end of August because there is an artist I’ve been trying to help record after seeing them at Swampcon.  Also the trip to Paris and Amsterdam next year is taking shape.  Hopefully everything happens as planned and my investments make for long-lasting art and inspiring culture.  All albums in my original discography have been published on this blog with updated lyric photos, pictures and more.  Smashing Pumpkins are also stopping in Jacksonville this October for The Rats in a Cage Tour.  This band was one of my first concerts ever and I also saw them again in Milwaukee standing close enough to touch their female bass player at the time.  I haven’t bought any tickets yet because of all the things above I mentioned, still trying to figure out how and who would go if possible.  A legendary event in the making for sure.
