The big news tonight is that my good friend Curt is a father! Joel Caedmon Hendley was born today at 2:42 pm. He is 10 pounds, 6 ounces and 22 inches long! Congratulations to Curt and "Mrs. Happy"... and if you haven't yet discovered Curt's blog, The Happy Husband, check it out now... It's awesome.
I'm back from Pismo Beach. Tony and I had a great time at the retreat. I'm happy to report that "Robert K. Johnston and Catherine M. Barsotti" have now become "Rob and Cathy." They're really great. We went out with them last night and saw a late showing of North Country. I'll write more about the films we saw and my reaction to them tomorrow.
I found an amazing used CD store in SLO yesterday and bought too many CDs. I found rare CDs by Leslie Phillips, The Swoon, Lost Dogs and Altar Boys. I also found a CD by a twin-sister duo called Tegan and Sara that was produced by my man Hawksley Workman. And to cap it all off, I bought "A Sun Came!" by Sufjan Stevens. Reviews to come.
My latest "must-research" band is Frou Frou. I'm obsessed with a song called "It's Good To Be In Love." I have it on an Alice radio compilation and it's just mesmerizing. I'm heading to the library tomorrow to pick up their proper studio album and I'll let you know how it is. The vocalist I've heard of... Imogen Heap.
OK, heading for bed. G'night.
