NaNoWriMo…. So it begins

Generic-180x180

Decided to throw this up everywhere tonight….

Pretty much starting in on NaNoWriMo this week. Not with the actual writing, but with character outlines, plot development, outlining, and a smidgen of research. More than anything, preseason training for writing a novel in one month.

Won't be around here much until December (except for when my laptop seizes up and I am spending time on the desktop waiting for spinning circles and endless hourglasses to work themselves out).

Abash’t & Disenchanter: October 19, 2012

Abash't.  Iron Tribe Fundraiser.  Rockwood Grange.  Portland, Oregon.  October 19, 2012.

Fun show.  I was able to take the boys with me, the big one’s second show ever, the little one’s first, and they both had a great time.  I don’t get to do that very often, so it was a very special night for me.

I enjoyed the bands, of course. They are friends of mine, so I am a bit biased, but I do really like them, so that makes it much easier. I hate being in the situation where I do not like the bands my friends are in, and thankfully that is not the case with these two.

I am not going to waste a lot of words here. Just some music and some pictures.

Both these groups are pretty new, so they don’t have a lot of music available on line yet. I know Abash’t is less than a year old, and I am not sure how long Disenchanter has been around, but about the same, I think.

Anyway, I am sure that both bands have some better quality demo material in the works, below I’ve posted what I was currently able to find on-line.
