'nother great show added. conflicting reports. the haunted piano.

well, i've got another "solo" show lined up for you to come and see. i'll be in chicago at uncommon ground coffeehouse on december 12th. that's a sunday night at 8pm. i don't know who'll be with me, hopefully a few folks. anyway, come out and be there for live music in a new place.

there have been conflicting reports as to whether or not we are playing at mother fool's in madison. i'll let you know when.

my friend kevin slept at our house one night and he swears up and down he woke up to find a figure melting into our piano from the shadows.

recording update. live shows. band member fluctuation.

hey kids. it's been a while. the inkwell collective is just kind of floating around in nothingness right now. the recording is done and here's where we're at with it:

-i have contacted starshaped press in chicago to do the printing of the packaging. they are reviewing our artwork and will get back to me.

-i have contacted sooper dooper in madison about the duplication and cd manufacturing. they will also get back to me.

this is a slow process so i hope you'll be happy with cd-rs and paper sleeves next time.

i'm still waiting to hear back from the venues i mailed our disc to--a few in madison, milwaukee, and chicago. i am slated to play the annual little farmer acoustic music thing in october. we won't be doing much (if any) inkwell collective music, but you'll find the line-up to be similar to what you'd see at an inkwell collective show, minus the electricity.

and speaking of line-ups, we were proud to jam a bit last week with an electric guitarist from the oshkosh area--the infamous "jesse from jacobstone". we're hoping to entice him to play live with us in the near future. . .once we get another show in a club or other place where we can be loud.

that's it for the update. we have a practice tomorrow night, although i don't exactly know where or when it will be.

lots o' heart,

August is really the cruellest month. For real.

well kids, it looks as though the inkwell collective is on a brief hiatus. we're not playing anywhere in august but we will be surfacing in october at the annual little farmer acoustic music weekend. i'm not sure of the line-up, at this point things are a little hazy. anyway, we're taking orders for the new disc, which will probably be finished sometime in september. the cost will be $10 and we'll probably set up a show in oshkosh that will be a "record release show". that'll be a fun time.

we're also working on some new songs. at least, i am; the rest of the band has not heard them yet. but we might have at least one or the other ready for you later and blah blah blah blah.

churlishly,

steev
