So I was clickin' over to the New Frontiers facebook page to write a short message saying "Give me my credit card back" when I noticed that their latest update said:


I thought to myself, Oh Damn! That's crazy!

My friend Geoff had given me all the Ulrich Schnauss music he had, and I loved it. He makes electronic music, that is very cinematic. It is a perfect soundtrack/background music for any type of activity I do, but I would religiously play it when I was riding my bike. Just cruisin' through the city observing the buildings, people, powerlines...while Ulrich scored the whole adventure from a small pod in my pocket.
I couldn't wait! I called Geoff and told him the news.
An excited "Nuh-Uh" was all he could say. I agreed it was unbelievable, but I assured him it was true.
We planned to meet there after he was done with band practice, and I was done with work. Work that is really hard to go to since I gave my two-weeks a couple days earlier.

I sped through my route, and made it home at an amazing 9:15. I threw on a different shirt and shoes, ate a medicinal cookie (my asthma was acting up) and headed down to the New Frontier to see what's up.

The first person I encounter there is Tim Kappler. Tim is a local artist that I run into from time to time. I like his artwork, and he's a fun person to hang out with. I ran into him at a bar once and we swapped sketchbook pages. I got this drawing out of the deal, and I was stoked.



We had a conversation about how we had both came without anything to draw on, or with for that matter, and it didn't take long before I ran out to my car/junk drawer and found a couple pens and some paper plates. Tim made these drawings...



The whole night was awesome.

Ulrich played an hypnotic one song set accompanied by a video of footage all shot from a car driving around. It was crazy because it was the same visuals I would have riding my bike around.
