088 – I’m on the Run

Recorded 27 January 2009

This is a quick show, recorded early because I’m on my way to my first meeting as a member of the Chicago Music Commission’s Advisory Board.

If you can’t tell that I’m excited to see what awaits music in Chicago and how we can help shape it, well, just follow me on Twitter or Plurk, because I’m going to be throwing out some updates and pictures along the way tonight, you can be sure.

We’ll be meeting at Pressure Point Recording Studios on Michigan Avenue in Chicago, a place I’ve wanted to check out for awhile now, I hear it’s phenomenal.  We’ll be talking about what recent changes have happened and where we’re heading, so I’m sure I’ll have a lot of information I’ll want to share.
