Hi all -

Sitting in the mastering studio with Greg Calbi as we speak putting the finishing touches on my new album. The last few days has been full of seemingly endless tweaking of mixes and reshuffling song sequences. And in a matter of hours it will all be final!

Just wanted to alert you guys to a few cool things to check out.

Last week was a big one for people affected by global warming, politics and the ecnonomy (i.e. EVERYONE) as Al Gore made an important speech about setting firm goals for making the shift to renewable energy resources. I urge you all to check out his speech at www.wecansolveit.org.

Another cool thing to check out is www.youtube.com/user/masternanlu. Some of you will recognize the name Master Nan Lu from the liner notes to "Awake...". He is the Qigong master I studied with for several years, and who introduced me to Narayani Amma.  There are some great videos of him that feature his philosophies on healing, growth and change on his Youtube channel.

Finally, here is a photo I found of me making out with Alex from Phantom Planet live on stage in Pomona, CA a few years ago. Incidentally, this was the same day I wrote "Catch My Disease". I will allow you to make your own smutty jokes and double entendres linking the two events.... :)



Be well
Ben
