Brian Henke at the Beck Cafe'
On Wednesday, October 7, 2009 master acoustic guitarist Brian Henke appeared at an open-mic event at Lakewood's new Beck Center Cafe. Brian and I go way back to the days when he dragged around his guitar in an old sack, and played the guitar using his thumbnail for a pick! On his website, it tells that Brian was a winner of many acoustic and electric guitar awards, and that Brian's also been a finalist in the National Fingerstyle Contest in Winfield, Kansas. His successes also include being a finalist at the Guitarmageddon regional finals in Boston, as well as being in the New Age Reporters Top 10 for 2006.

A random snap from the Rocky River Reservation, one of seventeen parks which make up Cleveland's "Emerald Necklace." The Reservation runs through eight different municipalities, including Lakewood. The park is a beautiful place to visit every season, but I think autumn may be my favorite time to take a wander through the park!

WootStock Art

A quick post here to talk about Wootstock happening Oct 19, 20 and 21st in SF and LA. My friends Paul and Storm are putting on the event with the help of Wil Wheaton, Mythbusters Adam Savage and a bunch of other cool guests. My involvement? Not much, really. Except I was able to design this totally awesome gig poster and T-Shirt for the event in the style of one of my favorite artists, R. Crumb. If you're anywhere near the area, definitely do make it to the second SF show or the LA show. Thanks to the aformentioned celebs for allowing me to share a bit in their coolness

via The Lakewood Observer by Margaret Brinich on 9/23/09
Preserving this church with its beautiful architecture is something all Lakewoodites should support.
Lakewood City Council took up two pieces of legislation at its recent Sept. 9 meeting to support St. James Church and preserve it and other historic structures. Councilmen Kevin Butler (Ward 1) and Tom Bullock (Ward 2) teamed up with Mayor Ed FitzGerald to introduce a resolution supporting the Friends of St. James Parish's appeals to keep the church open as well as an ordinance to expand the scope of Lakewood's historic preservation law to include public interior portions of historic properties. The Cleveland Catholic Diocese has announced plans to close the parish by next summer.
