As of today, we've got a new URL for this site, www.ChristianJolly.com. The .com has been available for a while now, and I decided to finally pick it up, just to make sure some other fool doesn't start spoutin' off stuff pretending to be me....or something like that. It's not active yet, but that's coming within a few days. (Thanks Mike!)

Also, coming soon, my new production company TradeWind Productions will launch at www.TradeWindProductions.com. I have been DBA (Doing Business As) Christian Jolly Productions since I started working on solo work, but since only about half of my jobs constitute true solo work, I decided I needed something more representative of all the folks that I usually work with. Plus, I liked the pleasant sound of it and just felt like it would feel professional and artistic, two things people (usually) look for. So it should be fun...not sure if it will be a sustaining income any time soon, but that's cool. I have fun. I don't have a site design or even a logo yet (it's being handled as we speak). I'll have e-mail up soon and a placeholder page, so in a month or so hopefully the site will be up there with pricing and contracts and all that junk. Wish me luck!

For that matter, let me know (in the comments, of course) what you think about TradeWind Productions. Obviously I've already committed to it, and I like it so much, but it'd be nice to hear some thoughts on it (besides the friends/coworkers/family that have already talked about it). And hey, if you've got a video production need, want some old movies cut to DVD or just want to make a slide show CD/DVD out of your old photo albums, talk to me and we'll hook it up.

In other news, went to the Reel Big Fish concert Saturday night....all the same folks were there, lots of fun. Might be RBF's last tour, so I definitely wasn't going to miss it. Went and hung out at Chris and Mike's new place up in BUCKHEAD before the show for some burgers and beers. I say Chris and Mike's place, but Adam lives there, too, and unlike Chris, Adam actually went to the RBF show. Chris, oh Chris....what measure of distraction must it have taken to forego such a rockin' show? We may never know.

In OTHER other news, Eric and I trekked up to Gwam and Mo's place near Carrollton (Hilary joined up for moral support and to also see how truly awful we sounded) to practice some SCizzAP a couple weekends ago, and I have some great news...we got us up a new song, and it is hardcore like none other. Well, maybe it's just awesome, and not so much "hardcore." We actually sound a lot better than we should given our practice schedule (or lack thereof...) for the last couple of years. Still, got to have some fun playing with an electronic drum set. Seems like we'd played one before, but I guess it was just my memories of Eric rockin' out in the drum room on one of our many trips to the now-defunct MARS music stores. The good days...

I gotta get back to regular posting....this once-in-a-while, post-1000-words-or-more blogging extravaganza is almost too much for even me to handle. Sheesh, hope you enjoyed my typing. I did it just for you.
