Concert! Album!
OK, this probably merits the rare post on here.
My band, Stranger Ways, played our second gig ever this weekend. We did a joint concert at Arisia 2011, a Boston sci-fi convention, along with our friends Sassafrass, an awesome a capella group. Susan and I estimate we saw about 120 faces there, and if I do say so myself, we rocked them all. 
Seriously though, it was an absolutely exhilarating show. It was the day before yesterday and I’m still on a high. The crowd was fantastic, and being up on stage with Sassafrass, doing new supergroup-style arrangements, was truly an honor. YouTube videos coming soon on our band channel!
The concert marked the release of our first album, Strangers at the Gate. We had CDs and download cards available for sale at the show (thanks Vik!) and also at the Foam Brain Games booth in the dealers’ room (thanks Andrew!). And now, we also have it available for purchase at our Bandcamp.com site.
This concludes your irregularly scheduled shameless plug. We now return to blog silence as per standard operating procedure.

Congratulations! Very exciting. I await the videos with bated breath.
Most of the videos are now up at http://www.youtube.com/user/StrangerWaysMusic! We’re still waiting for Sassafrass to post up their half (which includes two songs of theirs we helped with), then we’ll put together a playlist.
I refuse to buy your album… because I bought it at Arisia and just loaded it into iTunes on my computer at work
And now I have the cover art to put into it.
Thanks Mark! BTW, if you didn’t already catch it, I’ve literally just uploaded the bonus track that the insert card mentions. (If you haven’t got the card, ping me on email – natbudin@gmail.com – and I’ll send you the link.)
PS: I really enjoyed not only the concert, but you guys’ participation in the filk circles.
Yay, thanks! And it was really a treat hearing your songs as well. I had a great time and can’t wait for the next con so I can repeat the experience!
