Ben Alman 

hats!

while shopping at marshalls the other day, i managed to get robyn to pose for the camera (for a change)

jeremy sits in on drums

once benny gets an idea in his head, there's no stopping him.. which is how jeremy ended up playing drums with los sugar kings the other night.. of course, i think the main reason benny wanted jeremy to play was so that he could get up to the bar for more booze.. but hey, guess who that second shot is for (give the drummer some!)

shots!

you know, at the time i was a little bothered that i didn't get a single in-focus shot (low light, no flash) but now i think it actually makes for a better photo. well, at least given the subject matter

jeremy sits in on keys, pt. 1

both jeremy and jeff buckridge sat in for a few tunes with los sugar kings last friday night at the edgewater. later in the evening, i actually sat in on bass and we laid down the funk. it was good stuff

the guys

last week, some of us got together last-minute-style to throw jeremy a little bachelor party. it was very short notice, because that's the way we roll.. but it turned out that a few friends actually had the night free, so it worked out.

we started out at passage to india in salem, ma, where we drank many beers and ate more fantastic indian food than should have been humanly possible. after that, we went next door to the edgewater and checked out los sugar kings, while drinking much, much more, despite our combined fullness.

all that matters is that jeremy had a good time, drank many beers and many shots, and danced with some random chick at the edge. sweet

djembe

a photo of robyn's drum in the late-day sun. you notice such a difference both sonically and in physical feel when you finally play a real, handmade west african djembe with a goat skin head
