sad but triumphant...no, just sad.

This is the announcement I sent out about the big show I wanted to do Saturday:


Attention To Fans of Davey G and the Keyboard and Davezine!!!
Due to a great many factors, many of which are out of my control, it has become necessary to cancel the Davezine Release Party on June 24.
Davezine and the release is very important to me--however, I feel as though I cannot give my best effort this time around and rather than do something that is less than my best I have opted to postpone until I can make it what I want it to be.
I apologize to anyone who may have planned to attend. Please know that this is a temporary setback--the new Davezine is coming out, but the party will be held at another time, when you will receive an announcement via e-mail.
Thank you so much for your support--keep your eyes open for the rescheduling!!!

This show last year was so great, it really set the bar high for anything else I do. I have great fans and friends and as a performer (laugh if you want) I really respect the audience--anyone who gives me their time and money deserves the best I can do.
I hope to get this thing going at some other time. But the zine is still being printed regardless, so I think that’s still something to look forward to.

prototype= done!

I'm so excited! I have finally put together a prototype copy of the new Davezine , number 12, and it looks really good--especially since I did it all myself this time. 40 pages, a color cover, a good story that almost completely makes sense, sure to please the long-time fan and newcomer alike.

So much work before the party on the 24th--I need to put out some flyers and make a fair number of copies of the zine, plus get some beer, bands confirmed (3 are, actually) and make sure this venue works out. But hopefully, I'm on the right track at last--with a product that I can be proud of and that is ready to go.

Low Level Bureaucrats 2

Nothing like a deadline to focus the mind...
Davezine number 12 rockets ahead--I have this story that I've been writing for the last few months that now I have read over and over again and finally the unneccessary words can be clipped and streamlined and the parts that annoy me can change. I have been having trouble with the climax of the story but by God I think I may almost have it. Basically it's all based on the Jack Abramoff/Tom Delay relationship (well, sort of) and how a group tries to bring organized gambling to Beatown while banning it in the next town. I'm trying to cut it down so that it fits in the zine and is under 40 pages.
I may have the party site fixed, which is very good news. It's been a little stressful having things up in the air for so long but I think it will all come together soon, as long as I keep working at it.

Davezine 12

I have made progress on the zine, should be in good shape as long as I get busy this week.
If people go to my Davezine site there is info about the release show. Forgive me if it's incomplete, I'm just a tiny bit stressed about it. But show up anyway.
