Out in the Light

by Mark Forman on April 21, 2008

Last Sat. was a great day to get out and enjoy some of the early summer weather here in central Taiwan. There was an event at SOHO mall with 9 bands and a chili cook-off to raise money for local Kidz charity. Later I went to a barbecue at the home of Steve and Rhonda and their lovely kids. There were also some "new media" friends in attendance there including the Dark Lord of New Hampshire (aka MJ Klein) and Michael Turton (who I also ran into earlier in the day at the SOHO event), and a new friend Ashish who took some ribbing over his name rhyming with something. I'll do a video soon with some music from SOHO and MJ rocking out on his new rig.

2 bbluesman April 21, 2008 at 3:45 pm: Hey Ashish. Good deal man.
3 MJ Klein April 21, 2008 at 11:05 pm: why do i always hear about this stuff too late? i'm probably the only guy in Taiwan with a VOX amp and Dutch ovens, so i am well suited for a chili cook-off with bands! must be something about the Dark Lord thing….

5 MJ Klein April 25, 2008 at 10:09 pm: how in the world can there be a frigging chili cookout and no news about it? oh well, i got my Dutch oven going this afternoon on a new cooking table i built last night.

14 bbluesman May 2, 2008 at 10:57 pm: Ahh nice will have to get over there and have a gander.
15 Carrie May 3, 2008 at 1:18 am: I'm sorry I missed it. Sounds like it was a great time, and you haven't tasted chili until you've tasted mine!
