The “MAGFest Shrine” tradition continues to be delightfully unhinged.

A collection of stickers, postcards, memes, trinkets, and tributes to Danny DeVito placed like a shrine on the MAGFest convention floor. There is a sign that reads “Eat the Rich” and another that reads “Unionize”

Taking it a little easier on my last day of PAX East. Went and got myself some ramen for lunch.

A bowl of Tonkotsu Ramen. The soup includes sliced pork, green onion, ajitama, and kikurage.

The Tee Lopes set last night was an absolute blast. The place was packed. A cool hybrid of DJ set and live instruments.

Ouch. Almost as bad up here. I’m thankful that I don’t need to go outside today.

Finally got around to playing “Thank Goodness You’re Here.” One of the funniest games I’ve played in a while. The voice cast absolutely nailed their delivery of the game’s off-the-wall script.

Screenshot of “Thank Goodness You’re Here” game. The game is animated in the style of a 2d cartoon. A cartoon business man is standing in a street next to a white moving van. The side of the van reads “Tony’s Parked Vans Limited “never caught moving””.

It's been a really rough week. As a musician and composer one of the few things I can do is continue to make art and give people something pleasant to look forward to. To that end, tomorrow the VGM Pianist group is releasing a cover album of music from the Chrono Series. Here's a little preview.

It’s been a while since I’ve gone out for sushi. The cabin fever was getting to me, so this was a much needed escape from the music studio.

MAGFest 2024 was an absolute blast! The last one I went to was back in 2019, and I've really missed going. I always come back from the event feeling energized and inspired. This year was no different.

Got to hike up one of my favorite trails in Acadia National Park recently. The weather was perfect, so I got a really nice view of the ocean. Thankfully the trail wasn’t too crowded, even though it was peak tourist season.

I’ve been taking some time this week to explore the coast of Maine. This was a great spot to stop and have lunch.
