Begging my students not to use AI for creative work while my school promotes and participates in a documentary for which the producers used AI to create the poster. So fucking embarrassing.

That festival we played last weekend had an audience vote for their favorite band on the side stage…we got 2nd out of 15! Pretty cool, if ya ask me

Our Emerging Artist Contest gives fans the chance to vote for their favorite Side Stage band, giving the winner an opportunity to play the Main Stage next year.

The votes are in....and a huge congratulations goes out to The Last Wild Buffalo, 2026 Red Ants Pants Music Festival Emerging Artist winner! Their unforgettable performance captured the hearts of festivalgoers and showcased the incredible talent and passion that makes our side stage such a special place to discover new music.

2nd place honors went to Grover Anderson and Lost Canyons came in 3rd. Thanks to all of our amazing Side Stage artists and fans who voted!

Save the date for the 16th Red Ants Pants Music Festival July 22-25, 2027 where you'll be able to catch The Last Wild Buffalo on the Main Stage!

My father in law wanted to take the girls out to McDonalds here in CT. I tried to order my usual cheap McD’s order, Hot & Spicy McChicken (no mayo, gross) and the server had never heard of it. New Englanders are never beating the allegations about bland food

What the heck is going on with digital book publishing? Apple Books features what appears to be two scam books and an ai study guide for this new political book?

Teaching To Kill a Mockingbird at a rural high school ➡️ supplementing with a Ta-Nehisi Coates essay on the n-word that mentions Jonathan Martin/Richie Incognito ➡️ these students were 2 when that went down so I find a news clip summarizing it ➡️ @joelanderson.bsky.social is in my classroom!

A large school smart board featuring a news report on Jonathan Martin/Richie Incognito, primarily “talking head” Joel Anderson, with a massive glare across his forehead because I was trying to take the photo quickly while teaching

Every year we’re blessed and cursed with another “Bradbury predicted this!”

“Police suggest entire population in the Elm Terrace area do as follows: Everyone in every house in every street open a front or rear door or look from the windows. The fugitive cannot escape if everyone in the next minute looks from his house. Ready!”
Of course! Why hadn’t they done it before! Why, in all the years, hadn’t this game been tried! Everyone up, everyone out! He couldn’t be missed! The only man running alone in the night city, the only man proving his legs!
“At the count of ten now! One! Two!”
He felt the city rise.
“Three!”
He felt the city turn to its thousands of doors.
“Four!”
The people sleepwalking in their hallways.
“Five!”
He felt their hands on the doorknobs!”

“
“Six, seven, eight!”
The doorknobs turned on five thousand doors.
“Nine!”
He ran out away from the last row of houses, on a slope leading down to a solid moving blackness.
“Ten!”
The doors opened.
He imagined thousands on thousands of faces peering into yards, into alleys, and into the sky, faces hid by curtains, pale, night-frightened faces, like gray animals peering from electric caves, faces with gray colorless eyes, gray tongues and gray thoughts looking out through the numb flesh of the face.”

Last time I was in Montana I played in Bozeman with Jimbo and we stayed on a 19 year old barista’s couch, then saw crazy weather the next day. This time, I’m playing a festival with Ricky Scaggs. Big thumbs up to Montana.

These are my three favorite things on Spotify wrapped: • Little Spoon was streamed in 95 countries(!) • 105 people had me in their top 10 artists(!) • The song that I felt the most stress about releasing ended up being the most shared Really joyful things to learn. Thank you!

My favorite movie that I watched for my film noir class this summer was Out of the Past, so when the route to the festival we played this weekend took us through Bridgeport we had to make a stop in honor of Jeff. (Thanks to my professor @blbalthaser.bsky.social!)

Festival Mode Engage! We’re off to play two sets at Millpond Music Festival in Bishop, CA. Our last fest of the year and we’re really hoping it leads into a big festival season in 2026. In sadder news……I put a case on my replacement phone 😢 end of an era

I got about halfway through @rmccarthyjames.bsky.social’s excellent book before my summer pleasure reading was interrupted by grad school…but I finally finished it today and found it a total joy to read (in spite of the weird looks people gave me when I read it in public)

The best part of this warning is how there are two bullets mentioning bad things beneath an accusation, then a third bullet that says “or it might not be your fault.” Pretty shitty messaging there, Spotify. (And no, I’ve never used a promotional service)

I don’t know if Saturday night will ever be topped. We’ve played bigger audiences, but never a better one.

My 89 year old grandfather just told me “You know, you really should consider dressing nicer on stage. Wear some better shirts. You’re in show business for Christ’s sake. Last time you had a silly shirt on.” (I think he’s referring to the 4th pic.) Absolutely devastating burn from the old man.
