capture the magic mart's got a blog now.

It’s all Bess Rogers’ fault that I now have a blog. She and Chris Kuffner sounded so lovely at soundcheck for the “From the Penthouse” series yesterday, which I was also playing as part of Rachel’s band. Shortly after soundcheck was completed, Bess whacked me over the head with a half-consumed bottle of Red Stripe and snarled in that delicious voice, “get a tumblr page, Rivas.”

So here I am! Bloodied head now effectively triaged, gleefully posting to you about how I went to the allergist today and am about to get on a bus directed toward Manhattan Island, where I will meet my bride aboard a train headed in the general direction of Citi Field, the moldy, collapsing home of my beloved-yet-sucky New York Mets.

I hope to remember to do this posting thing with regularity… we’ll see how that goes. But in the meantime, I hope that you are having a swell day and that perhaps we’ll see each other real soon. And my new album is called Sea of Clouds.
