Completely unrelated to this post, but infinitely relevant in many ways...my sister had her baby Sunday at 5:56 PM. A second boy. Patrick Edward. But, most significantly, it's time to plan my trip to the VT!!!
I'll be giving you a call at some point this weekend to pick a weekend that would be a good time to visit. Think about when you'd like to see little old me.
Lots of Love.
Paul

and as far as you getting up here - can't wait to talk to you to figure out a weekend! when would i like to see little old you? as soon as possible. :)

call me and we'll figure it out - already can't wait.

my picks, followed by a short explanation -

artist of the year - guster
album of the year (label) - guster, keep it togetheralbum of the year (independent) - josh ritter, hello starlinglocal album of the year - ryan montbleau, stagesoutstanding pop/rock band - guster
male vocalist of the year - howie day
female vocalist of the year - dar williams
song of the year - guster, "amsterdam"
local song of the year - josh ritter, "kathleen"
local male vocalist - bleu
local female vocalist - melissa ferrick
funk or jam band - addison groove project
male singer/songwriter - josh ritter
female singer/songwriter - melissa ferrick
blues act - susan tedeschi
local producer - mike denneen

so, the howie/guster dilemma. i was able to get in one vote for howie, but when it came down to the h/g faceoff, i simply enjoy KIT much more than SATWN. howie still hasn't put out a studio album that captures what he can do. while i also prefer live guster to KIT, i still enjoy the album - and, come on, it has "come downstairs and say hello." game, set, match.
