Preface This is a paper I delivered at the American Academy of Religion on November 7, 2009 in Montreal for the Religion and Music Consultation. I was introduced by the chair of the group, Ted Trost of the University of Alabama with the following text: Once upon a time, Kris was a professional...
The following was composed over 4 days...this post is very dear to my ♥ and one that I so wanted to write before I leave this blog~. I'm sorry that I haven't been around recently as overtime at work has kept me away and with each day that I writing this post I kept losing more sleep it seems (ノロ≦。)！...

Four of the magazines we were shown today were; Threaded, King Brown, Monster Children and Pilot. It is a good medium to establish a network between all the elements of an identity, such as website, store, gallery etc., and also for the literal meaning too, in creating networking opportunities for...

The scout motioned from up ahead, and the armed team forged up the winding trail. Though carrying a wounded comrade, their movements were stealth-like. A deep sable sky offered a pale moon and steady wind rattled the trees and combed back the tall grass. A force of twenty paused near the top of the...
The talk here in San Francisco on the email lists and at the watercoolers is all about SXSW. Are you going? Are you staying for music? Are you having a mind blowing party with free booze and great bands? Yes! Yes! Yes! I love SXSW. It is one of my favorite times of year because it means that...

Today I made veganized Molasses Cookies from The Joy of Cooking The problem is I spilled virtually everything humanly possible. I have cookie dough on my shirt (I even wore an apron!), and the cookies just don't taste quite right. I've been very clutzy the passed few days. I'm really pulling a...
This section will be a work in progress for a while and even then I can't promise to have included everyone and have tabulated all the bands each musician has been in. However corrections and contributions are welcome. So far these are taken from The Broadgate Gnome site and Rex Brough site. A Adams...

I distinctly remember Caps for Sale and Roald Dahl books such as The BFG, James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. Here are a few more I enjoyed:...
Here's a list of quotes which inspires me in one way or another. I hope to compile a longer list in the near future but at the mean time, chew on these: "For some (graphic) designers, it has become an unquestioned part of the working process that yields precision, order and clarity. For others, it...

Which side of your family do you resemble more? Which side of your family do I resemble more? The question of resemblance is an unfinished argument. The Wigles feel that I have a J. E. Hoover look about me or rather his sister who married Lambert Jospeh Wigle or so it is thought. A deep family...
Latest additions, and even a few subtractions. If this list is for sharing, I wonder if I should note when certain bands are spinoffs from each other. Like Graham Lewis's "He Said" and Bruce Gilbert are members of the band wire. That might be worth noting as a cross reference. Where to draw the...
What a week last week was! So much information to absorb, digest and add to my repetoire...
