Attack of the Black Orchid Rebellion

You may be asking yourself - "What is the Black Orchid Rebellion?", perhaps assuming I am about to launch into some sort of deep Biblio-spiritual diatribe on God-only-knows-what.. but.. I'm not.

The Black Orchid Rebellion is actually a rock band.. alternative in style.. with some absolutely fantastic songs, a really great guy at the helm... and a new, kick-arse bass player :)

Yes, that's right, it's me, and I am really frickin excited about this, because my new friend and bandmate Spencer Lillo is an amazing song-writer and we're going to have some absolutely fantastic material to work with. Here's a little sampling for you to enjoy!

Oh, and one more thing -- we need a drummer.. so if you know someone (preferably a Christian, but depends on the individual), or if you are a drummer looking for work. And you don't suck. And you have your own drums. And not the Fisher-Price kind. Then please let me know!

NaNoWriMo!

I am officially a participant in the NaNoWriMo - that is the National Novel Writing Month, in which thousands of wannabe-novelists attempt to write a 50,000 word novel in no more than 30 days, between November 1 and November 30. All who make the 50,000 word threshold are declared winners!

I'm cooking up something cool for my NaNo Novel, so wish me luck, and if it seems like I'm not terribly social next month, you'll know why!

If anyone is interested in joining me, go check out NaNoWriMo.org to see how it all works, and sign up! You can add me as a writing buddy or check out my writer profile as well!

And, there is a local group of NaNoWriMo authors getting together every sunday in downtown Victoria - the next meeting is this sunday, 2:30 pm at the Solstice cafe, though the regular time and place has yet to be decided upon. I'm going to look into getting a local group together on the Peninsula as well, so let me know if you are interested!
