So in preparation for the upcoming premiere of the documentary Red Fish Can't Jump next week I'm calling in friend Theo Milojevich who you may not know but most definitely have heard playing the drums on a couple songs off of the Phoenix & the Fish. He, and Ed Sumter on Bass and hopefully my sister on acoustic strings, will be joining me for a live performance prior to the start of the movie at Level 5 in downtown WIlmington on Thursday night the 21st. Should be pretty rad.

In chatting with the friend and director of the film, Luke Pearson, I came to the realizating just now that the cover of my album actually has what appears to be a Red Drum on it...call it coincidence, fate, divine inervention...or a "Meeting" perhaps. Either way, it feels like a good partenering. THe movie is getting some great attention in the media and is filled with tunes from both of my albums and some original never before heard material as well.

I'll be heading to Costa Rica the day after the premiere to lead a group of adults for WB Surf Camp. I'm frothing about some warm weather even if its flat when I get there. On the other side of the trip, there are plans in the works for a little mini tour up the Carolinas with longtime friend/OBX pro surfer Jesse Hines and Mike Doyle, the director for Movement, to premiere my other very good friend Russel Brownley's film about the surf club in Bangladesh, "Gum For My Boat". Keep your ears and eyes open for dates cause it will come up quick!
