How I spent my post-summer-solstice
Ah, the glamorous, exotic life of a high-flying engineer. I headed out to the CTMS Summer Solstice Festival last Friday, danced like a dervish for a few hours, played tunes a few hours more, and then did the same again on Saturday. Sunday found me bugging out to the airport for Bismarck, North Dakota.
Now Bismarck, being the state capitol, is an interesting place. But what was most interesting to me was finding www.bismanlive.com while searching for "music sessions". I was ostensibly in town to teach a couple LDAP classes for the week, but BisManLive was the real heart of the trip. I hooked up with Corey Kuntz and we visited the various live music performances around town for the week, made a bunch of new friends along the way, and capped it off with a couple jam sessions. You can say hello to Corey and some of our pals here

Definitely not my usual Celtic fare, but it was a blast nonetheless. As the great Bard once wrote - if music be the food of love, play on - give me excess of it!
