Today is not only the shortest day of the year, it's also the longest night of the year. Probably one of the hardest nights of the year for the homeless. National Coalition of the Homeless is remembering those that have died without dignity. Every year people die on the streets of the U.S. due to the cold. Please remember the people that don't have a place to stay this winter. Visit them under the viaducts, in the alleys, and in the shelter doorways. It's official title is Homeless Persons Memorial day. Light a candle, take a moment to think about you can do to help.

Tomorrow is my last show of the decade!. It's hard to believe that it has been almost 10 years since I moved to Chicago from Columbus, Oh. I have learned so much this decade and one thing I learned how to do is have fun. This show is a celebration for a great decade. Celebrating with me are some of my favorite local musicians, Cup N String, and Bartleby! You can find them on myspace and my links. So far it looks like 41 people have confirmed their invites. Bring your friends along and lets pack out Ronny's like we've never done it before! Here's to a new exciting decade!

Last night I went to the opening of the movie "Dreamer" at Fill In The Blank Gallery. I played a thug in the movie and it was neat watching the movie on the big screen. Everyone there really liked the movie. It was great to see it done and watching peoples reactions. The movie took over a year to complete and to ours and the directors laughter we watched the trailer that said it would be out in May 2009.

The next thing on my agenda is playing a show at Ronny's with old friend CT Ballentine of Cup N String and another friend Bartleby. I am really excited to play a singer songwriter show. It has been years since CT and I have played a show together. CT also recorded most of Mythological Creatures at his studio Iron Mountain. The album cover and other manufacturing is still in the works but you can get a copy on January 29th through Reformer Records, Lauries Planet of Sound in Chicago, or at my CD release shows!

Chicago winter has been somewhat pleasant this year. Sometimes it's really cold but most of it has been great. I want to be outside as much as I can without getting sick. Anyway I'll have more news soon. Best,Bill
