Busy Busy Busy This is where I spend 2 minutes in the morning posting how damn busy I am. I have interviews and then a lunch meeting (which may or may not happen depending on whether a film crew that is making a documentary about my band shows up and scares off my friend), followed by some hardcore web page design because I want my webpage (here) to be working by Monday, and then tonight I will go to Jeonju for a gig and documentary/interview at Led Zeppelin.

On My Birthday…
… I miss most of all the people I miss all year round. My family, my girlfriend (who can’t be here this year), my old friends flung into their faroff places all over the face of the planet.

Seong Hwan is calling the server people tomorrow to have them fix the bloody mess, as all the files are in the right place, but nothing points at that place when you type in www.dabangband.com.
