188 Miles for Parkison’s Disease and other updates

I got this picture from my friend Toby’s camera. The music video could be done by this weekend- stay tuned….

This Sunday night is my CD release party/show (for Los Angeles). So far the turn out looks like it will be pretty good. I’m still really excited that the venue isn’t having a drink/food minimum or charging a cover. I mean, my friends will drink and eat, it’s just nice to be able to tell people it’s a free show and actually have it be free.

Finally – a running update – Next weekend is the Ragnar Relay. It is a race from Santa Barbara to Dana Point. The distance is 188 miles and it is divided between up to 12 people with 3-4 running legs each. My buddy Dominic is doing it, only he’s doing the entire distance himself! (His blog is here, his training is mind-boggling)

Dominic is raising money for Parkinson’s research. His Dad has Parkinson’s.

I volunteered to keep Dominic company during his late night runs. I mean, I’m not running 188 miles, probably more like 20, but I like to feel like I’m contributing to his cause in some way by at least relieving a little of the emotional stress of 188 miles.

Seriously, check out his blog. My brothers are both insane athletes, and Dominic’s training still blows my mind.
