Happy dayz everyone!  As summertime once again gives way to the cool crispness of Autumn's vibrancy, I can't help but sit back and feel love and gratitude for everything around me...and I want nothing more than to share all if it with each of you and hear of all the good goings on in your lives as well...so please write me :)

The band: Still rocking, still growing, still having SO much fun, still meeting new and wonderful people, still so blown away by all the smiles we elicit.  YES!  A few upcoming full band shows to note:

- Friday, October 2nd, the return to Portland's ri~ra...so long overdue :)
- Saturday, November 7th, the long awaited 4 hour New York City show.  YAY!  The place: sojourn, located on 79th St between 2nd & 3rd.  Showtime kicks off at 9pm and will rock as long as you do.
- New Year's Eve at the phoenix, sunday river ski resort.  nuff said!

Mitch solo: Still singing like a madman, still learning new tunes, still amazed at everyone's enthusiasm, still the happiest solo acoustic artist in northern New England, perhaps beyond.  Please keep checking www.NOWisNOW.com for weekly updates of where I'll be singing next...cause singing to all of you often makes me smile huge.

New Tunes: I've been writing a bunch and have been sampling some tunes on y'all over the past year or so - your feedback has been great!  I finally posted one of em (Middle of Nowhere) on my website's "listen" page - please head to www.NOWisNOW.com/listenLyrics.htm to give it a spin; it's a solo acoustic recording done at my last Bitter End show.  I've also put up a cool version of "Haven" for you to check out.  Enjoy!

Life: My honey, Dylan, and I are scheduled to run the 40th new york city marathon on November 1st.  We've been training like crazy and are so excited to run this race together.  Hundreds of thousands will be out watching us and 39,998 other runners go the 26.2 miles.  For some reason, races like these make everything - and I mean EVERYTHING - oh so much better...life, love, health, you name it - it's better.   Anyone feel like joining us?

All right...I've babbled enough!  Be well everyone...never stop smiling, never stop taking what we've got for granted, and never stop being the great people you are.  I hope to sing to you soon!

peace, love, & hugs
