mark your calendars (or nerdy palm pilots, whatever)
First off, sorry for the site being down over the past five days. I was never sent a renewal notice by our hosting company, but everything's back to normal...heck, the temporary portfolio section even got a facelift.
Anyway, Okay Samurai is back in action, under a different form, on February 27. Mike, Russ and I will be playing in a battle of the bands at The Brass Monkey on Eastern Avenue. It's a small 250-max-capacity venue and we'll be playing with 4 or 5 other bands for prizes like recording studio time. Tickets are the usual $5 charge, plus a super-whopping $5 cover for all those under 21 (it's an 18+ show). Our Teach For America friends should be happy since it's a Thursday night show, but the next day is a "professional development" day. Just like last year's Mainstreet Bar and Grill gig, this concert will be on the eve of my 23rd birthday...I can't think of a better way to celebrate. More details as I get them.
There are a lot of exciting things about this show, but the most rock-your-pants-off-iest thing will be the live debut of Akshay151, a new original song about the Baltimore TFA corps. We're still working on the "obligatory breakdown rap" section, but it's getting there. The song title comes from my summer institute roommate Akshay's unfortunate incident with a shot of 151 at a bar in the Bronx (lesson learned: you don't sip shots). I'm going to try to get an acoustic version of it online before the show, as well as another new song I've been writing over this past week.
