State of the Blog Address

There hasn’t been much to blog about here lately, or at least not much for ME to blog about here lately. Running GaragePunk.com as well as my own personal life is keeping me pretty busy, so I really have less and less time to devote to this thing, much less run out and see shows these days (I managed to make it out to ONE in the last three months, so that should give you an idea of how involved I’m going to be in the future). Also, a month or two back I invited a few other local music fiends to contribute to this blog, and each expressed interest in doing so… even going so far as to register themselves as contributors here, but I haven’t seen anything from any of them since. There’s nothing complicated to figure out, guys. If you wanna write something, by all means, log in and post! Cuz, ya see, I was hoping to make this thing more of a team effort than simply me posting about stuff that I think is interesting (and I’m sure people are tired of hearing me shoot my mouth off, anyway). But if I can’t even get a few other people involved, then I’m not sure what the future of this blog will hold, and frankly, it obviously ain’t that promising. That’s not me being negative; it’s just the facts, ma’am. So please don’t hold your breath expecting great things, daily insightful posts about local rock’n'roll, record reviews, etc., at least not until some of these others come forth to help out. I was also promised a new episode of the TIRC Podcast a couple of months back, but that, too, has yet to surface. So then about a week ago I got the idea to set up a TIRC account on Twitter, which gives me a quick way to post about upcoming shows, and I also located a plugin that allows those updates to be posted daily right here on the blog automatically. Anyone that wants to follow the account can get the updates, so it’s not intrusive by any means, yet still provides a sort of service to the local music community that (so far, anyway) hasn’t been made available by anyone else. So I’ll keep doing that, and post about shows and stuff here from time to time when my schedule allows, but please don’t expect a whole lot until things change. Thanks for reading, and rock on!
