Summer
Well I haven't done this in a while. Something about school makes me not want to do anything. At all. But school is done. Forever. That's right, Berklee, the great school of musical redundancies is a thing of my past. Good things happened there; dumb annoying things happened there that tought me all about what the words dumb and annoying really mean. Now i'm out. Not only out of school but out of the jazz elitist mind set where all the good ideas where taken up by 1964 and possibilities were only possible if they fit snugly inside someone else's idea of "JAZZ." I'm also finished, to a certain degree, with the 12 tone equal tempered system that we play in. It happens to not really work, which is a drag. I've been playing some fretless guitar and getting more into some middle eastern and Indian music.
From here i'm moving to portland, or which is exciting in many ways. I hear great things about the scene and have experienced great things with the people and city.

hey dog,
i had hoped that i was leaving you a message on that blog, and it turned out to be so. Tight.
Long story short, i live in austin, i am an animation student, almost finishing, and soon am looking/planning on leaving texas and pursuing jobs in California.
Portland is a killer place, from what i have heard. If you want a very insider perspective, check out this guy Donald Miller, an author who lives there. His last book called Blue Like Jazz really spoke to me. anyway, good to hear from you, let me know how to email you and we'll stay in touch.
Peace, Gabe.
