Mid-June Update!
So the AshPad is coming together nicely, it is defiantly “home” now. I still don’t have a couch, but I do have a bed, WiFi, and a wobbly coffee table =). Yesterday was the latest installment, the ashB0x. I brought in my old 160gb HP Desktop, completely formatted it, installed good old XP, updates, my favorite desktop theme & video applications. I even watched some Planet Earth, w00t. It is successfully hooked up to my screen, my only set back is the outlet is not allowing me to add my mini-sound mixer (its what I use to boost the audio from my computer to the TV) that way I don’t have to turn the TV almost 90% up to be able to hear it. Nothing a little trip to a local hardware/electronic store won’t fix, I just need to find the time for it =).
I was hoping to find my old wireless Keyboard & Mouse, but no such luck. I might give it another look once I’m visiting the family again in a couple of weeks, but if not, I might just go ahead and buy the 2-in-1.
Luckily I’m not doing anything until Friday, that’s when all the crazy musical stuff happens, speaking of which, here are some of my current Gigs:
Jun 12 2009 Fells Point, MD @ The Waterfront Hotel (w/ Teporah)
Jun 14 2009 Baltimore, MD @ HonFest 2009 (The Bacardi stage at 12 noon)
Jun 19 2009 Baltimore, MD @ Teavolve (w/ Acacia Sears)
Jun 26 2009 Frederick, MD @ Frederick Cellars
Jul 3 2009 Baltimore, MD @ Joe Squared (w/ Teporah)
I’m still having trouble finding a stage name, and that fact that I’m so freakin musically active isn’t helping the situation. There is already a band called “ASH” which is why I don’t want to use that, and I obviously don’t want to use my real name, I’m in need of an Alter Ego…so far I’ve had a whole bunch of ideas, but non of them fell through…some of the names were: Mosno, Tarvo, Bex, Zed, Aymek, Yazol, Rafwood.
If you have any ideas, suggestions, or comments, please feel free to let me know =)
So there you have it, music is going strong, the Pad is feeling like home, and I’m enjoying life so far Al-Hamdulillah (Thank God).
I hope your week is going well my friends, keep in touch.
Much Luv.
Salaam.

Wa Alikum Al-Salaam,
That sounds like a good idea, but I don’t have that “large” of a following just yet =). but feel free to comment with some idea, think of it as a digital bucket =)
see you soon
