happy John Phillip Sousa‘s birthday. if you come down to The Hall at Fauntleroy this evening at 7:30, you will be able to see me perform with the world-famous Ballard Sedentary Sousa Band.

in other news, it’s still raining hard and pretty much all of western washington is under a flood watch. fortunately, we’re on high enough ground that the only thing we have to worry about is power outages, which happen pretty frequently.
