A quick note of notes ...

Alright, so for all those who read this ...(a tumble weed passes slowly) ..we have officially played 2! COUNT EM' 2 shows. Now both were pretty impromptu acoustic jams, consisting of only 4 songs each, but rock was still delivered first class with a document attached that was only to be signed when it was detonated directly in the face! My brother has got what it takes ladies and gentleman! So soon will our electric debut be upon us, that even I, Scott Lee Van Dusen, have chills running up the length of what is left of my spinal column. (the back develops problems when you've spent your life playing video games ...apparently bones aren't all that big into a gnarly amount of "hunching" ..)
So prepare yourselves for swift and righteous devastation of your preconceived musical ...likes. I guess.
Because Lo! Doth come this way hence, a furious leviathan of metal-infused/rock-with-catchy-melodies that bring-ith the thundering of a thousand Mastodons that have been duct-taped to MANY large badgers who have been painstakingly taught to shriek in unison as the once-great monster truck, BIG FOOT, gains sentience and leads an army of other, lesser, monster trucks to tell the world of the fantasticism of SLAM DUNK CONTEST!!!!!


Seriously though, it's going to be really fun and I'm super siked to see everyone there. My brother is playing bass for me and my roommate, John Whitney Stiles, is playing guitar. Drums will be covered by my old friend and many-time former bandmate Andrew Bissell.

Ok ..I'm about to get in trouble at work, so I'm wrapping it up. Talk to you soon. All the love, peace.

Reader Update 3: "A Galaxy at War"

So this very very may well be the most disjointed blog I've written ever. "Why is that?" I'm sure no-one asks? Well I'm trying to piece this together in between my boss walking into my cubicle and pretending to look like I'm working. So expect drama, a little intrigue, and who knows, maybe even a laugh or two. BUT ONLY TWO! No son of mine will be tellin' jokes instead of doin' honest labor!

So I'm going to be playing at a Church ...thing. It's going to be acoustic and, I suppose, my first performance really. It will be really low key, with just my drummer and me. It will be the first time I've performed my stuff in front of someone who's name isn't "My Mom". It's on May 6th, at the Anchor. I believe the show starts at 7. I think there is going to be a couple of acts, so it may be a shorter set. Who can say.

My bro is moving in for a heench (that's metric for 4 months). So we will be an unstoppable unit referred to only as "The Van Dusen". But with the joy of Lil' Rowdy moving in comes the sadness brought on my the absence of my other roommate, Bryan Greenway. He's left to go sing at a theme park. There he will be "sangin'" to many folks for many Hamiltons(read: money). But the house won't be the same. My brother is great and all. He's actually an incredible person who I'm terribly proud of and I'll write about him soon. But who am I going to watch Jewelry Television with? Who is going to text me during the day about "Fancy Colored Diamonds" and the "Spice Mix"?
Yet, he'll be back and with him, bringing the cool north winds whence a new fall shall be ambling ....this way ....hence ....doth ...(sigh).

Ok so yeah, what else? Oh I threw up Mexican last night! How 'bout that? Ok That may be all I have for right now. I hope that you're having a good day, and maybe get to be outside for a bit. Peace.
