Yeah, this month it’s another UStream recording, but this one’s got more robots! I’ve been changing my entire live setup to try and bring back the robot drummer, so this month’s recording is the first step in that direction. Sure, I’d love to use a real drummer, but I’m working on that!

More technical woes hit me in July, devouring two live-with-a-huge-audience concerts before I realized what the weak link was. Fortunately, I had two audiences for this recording. One online chat room full of people, and one enormous cat getting comfortable right on my sustain pedal.

The robot revolt wasn’t through with me yet, however… I apparently overloaded my USB bus by running both UStream cameras and all my MIDI controllers on the same hub. Halfway through the concert, things started to go very, very wrong.

We all make mistakes, I guess, and these are some I can learn from!

A little update for the subscribers. It’s short, so take a listen!

As I mentioned in emails, blog posts, tweets, and smoke signals last week, it’s time once again for the annual meeting of the minds. Since not every VIP could make it to the Beer Bash this year, we streamed the Town Hall meeting live and got feedback from as many subscribers as could tune in.

What the heck could make me travel to New Jersey twice in one year? My awesome fans, of course. This time it was the crowd at FA United in Mt. Laurel that invited me out to rock the convention. Unfortunately, the robots gave me a bit of trouble during the live recording, but in the end I managed to salvage enough to put together this month’s release.
