CFord fans, UNITE!

Has it been two weeks already?!?!

I have so much NEWS to hit your face with, but I'll get into all that further down.  First - 

Donations launch for the first ever CFord fundraiser campaign!

So my regular readers will know that on April 6 I will be doing something very bizzare:

I will be locking myself in a room and listening to 24 hours of bad music.

Why?  For cash, of course!  I want your help in funding my next recording.  You, my fans, will pick the songs you want to force me to listen to, and I will livestream the whole event on this website for your viewing entertainment.  We'll donate 10% of the proceeds to a charity, so if we hit our target of $1000, $100 will go towards kittens in need.  Or something.  We'll all decide together what charity we want to donate to once we've counted the sweet, sweet money.

Head on over to the Donate page to er, ...donate!

Poll still going - Name My EP!

Remember, people - this is your chance to make an impact on history.  I believe it was Maximus (from Gladiator) who said, "what we do in life echoes in eternity.

What we do in life echoes in eternity.
                                 - Maximus, the guy from 'Gladiator'

Yeah, that looks pretty good printed as a block quote, doesn't it?  Well, consider your vote towards naming my EP your echo in eternity - a moment that will define not only my career, but the rest of your life.  When you're sitting in a hololibrary fifty years from now sipping electrojuice and talking to your robot friends about EPs generally considered to be the greatest ever, this one will indubitably come up.

"You know," you'll be able to say with a knowing smile and a deliberate adjustment of your hipster glasses, "I helped name that album."  Your robot friends will whir and hum in jealous excitement.

These are the moments that future you will truly treasure.

All you have to do is pick which title you like best from the list to your left!  I've got my favorites, of course, but I'll let you all duke it out (as it were) to pick the winner.  Am I not merciful?

Am I not merciful?
                   -Commodus, the emperor guy from 'Gladiator'

'Course I am.

I also still play music

Remember how in addition to being a blogger extraordinaire and a shameless self-promoter, I also plunk out notes on the ol' sixstring?  I played a show on Friday at Trees that was well-attended and a blast to be a part of.  The other performers were fantastic, the crowd was super into it, and we unveiled the brand new CFord stickers.  

Stickers are only available at shows, FREE OF CHARGE.  Isn't that incredible*?!?

To top the whole night off, one of the fans in attendance was sporting a CFord shirt (available over at the Store, don'tcha know)!  I played a Brett Dennen cover - I've been listening to a lot of his stuff lately.  What a cool image he has (check out his glasses in this video for 'Comeback Kid').  My image might need some work - my wife told me that she spent half the show frantically trying to signal me to remove my jacket.  Needless to say, I was probably too busy rocking steady to notice her gestures.

Show on the 27th

Last bit of news - my last show of March will be played on Wednesday the 27th at 9PM at Kozmik Zoo on Broadway.  It's going to be a really good one, as I'm sharing the stage with two really talented acts.  Check out the Facebook event for more information and to see their websites, and I'll see you all out there!  

I'm going on a cruise next week with my wife to the Caribbean.  Yoho, me hearties - yoho!
