Was jamming too hard, I guess…

(The sax is ok!)

Aiming to apply for a Gaylord tool for MAGFest this year but already have a room right in the harbor through timeshare.

If any friends going to MAG want to room with me and a friend or two, shoot me a message!

We really let loose across a lot of diverse material on this set. Can’t wait to do another Karma Cronies gig with @xanderplute.bsky.social & company

Thank you so much to VGM CON, all of my friends, and of course, my amazing bandmates for CRUSHING IT!!!

If anyone knows any drummers somewhat local to Ohio potentially down for a simple gig on July 5th, please shoot me a message!

Finally learning to slap after having played the bass for 3 years… oops.

Looks like I’ll be sitting my ass on the streets of New York for a few days until the Switch 2 launch!

(Bloody tattoo)

Looking like a Pikmin massacre on my leg

I started Xenoblade X’s new chapter today and the new character’s fit goes SO HARD! I want his jacket…

Every concert needs a Taco Bell beat drop… Our percussionist did not disappoint.

Oh god, I hope my life never comes to that point…

Was playing bass guitar in a studio from 12-7 today (with some breaks). My fingers and shoulders were FEELING it. Props to you bass guitarists…

Best Buy gave me more stress tonight than I’ve felt in the past two years of my life…

But I’ve got a Switch 2 waiting for me on June 5th!

Dude Celeste is the only game I’ve ever made an attempt to speedrun. Got my time down to about 40 minutes. It’s a crazy satisfying game to play coming from someone who’s by no means a ‘professional’.

Foolishly agreed to film a ‘quick video’ for the percussion ensemble tonight after getting back from VGM CON yesterday only to find that I will likely be here for the next 3 hours after a long day of classes…

Rookie mistake.

It’s pretty challenging but nothing too crazy. If you’ve played anything like Celeste, it’s mooostly mild in comparison.

It is just as great if not better. You should absolutely check it out!

Hell yeah, dude! Can’t wait for the next one!

It’s such a great track! I was so stoked when I found out you and Roque were big fans of the OST. Thanks for killing it up there with us dude!

Playing Bamboo Boogaloo from The Messenger with @xanderplute.bsky.social & The Karma Kronies was a weekend highlight. I love this OST so much.

Expect those to be the first two words you hear out of my mouth when we see each other again

It really does… I don’t blame you for a second for not being comfortable traveling here. We’ve got a lot of work to do unfortunately.

We all hang together though. Hopefully we’ll get to meet properly at an event in the future!

VGM CON had me unsuccessfully holding back tears multiple times both during and since the event. This community rules and I couldn’t be more grateful to be just a small part of it! You all rock!!!

Only the most killer keys player ever!

Thanks so much dude!
