This is Chris, your friendly Regina Hexaphone blogger.  So, Daisy and I have been tossing around the idea of starting a small business at some point in our future.  To that end, we have lately been taking a class, attending seminars and reading books.  One seminar I recently attended had to do with new media marketing.  This is something our sometime-band member Neven J. Carswell deals with on an intimate level at his job, and I've dabbled with some of it as the Regina Hexaphone Minister of Information.  But good god, there is SO much out there!  Mercy.  Apparently Twitter is Really Important.  I had RH set up on Twitter a while back but never did anything with it.  I just didn't really get it.  But because it is Really Important, I've been trying to provide more frequent updates (I invite everyone to "follow" us, though I have yet to figure out how to post things via text messaging).  Another thing that is apparently Really Important is having your blog on an actual blog service (i.e. wordpress, typepad or the like), rather than on myspace.  So we may go down that road sometime in the near future.
 
Thing is, we don't really have a whole hell of a lot going on these days to twitter or blog about, at least not as a "band."  We do have a show this weekend that we're looking forward to... cystic fibrosis benefit at Bull McCabe's in Durham.  It'll be a long and enjoyable afternoon and evening of music, and we're excited to be sandwiched between Erie Choir and Schooner.  Details are available on our myspace and/or reverbnation and/or facebook pages (new media... sheesh).
 
That's it for shows, however... or at least that's all we've got booked.  We will likely be entering the studio again soon to record some of the newer stuff that we've been working on.  Sara has a song with a rap about pirates in it.  And a banjo song.  There's also been talk of a Sadlack's show with Wembley at some point in the spring or summer... here's hoping that comes to pass.
 
Speaking of Sara, she got into grad school at UNC, so may be entering the halls of academia in the Fall.  She's waiting to hear from a couple of other schools and then weigh her options.
 
In addition to exploring entrepreneurship, I recently started playing music occasionally with Zeno and Tim, formerly of the Sames, and a Rhodes player named Tom.  We've gotten together twice and have played through about 2.5 somewhat amorphous songs.  Not sure where all that will lead, but it's been fun.
 
Jerry's been recording folks (he remarked at practice the other day, "I actually worked each of the last two days in a row!"), including Schooner.  They've got some fun pics of the proceedings on their facebook page (go to http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/album.php?aid=69226&id=21329011515&ref=mf).
 
Jeff and Ecki played with us at the Pinhook (great show with Sweet By and By and the Jackets... love the Pinhook!) last month... Jeff will kindly be joining us at Bull McCabe's this Saturday, but Ecki will be otherwise occupied with Lynn at the Cradle.  They're playing earlier (4 p.m.) at Bull McCabe's, however... don't miss 'em.  Meanwhile, Jeff's been making noises about doing some more recording himself soon.
 
Nathan will be joining us on Saturday as well, for the first time in a little bit.  Wembley's been building buzz with a few shows of late... listen for them on WXDU and look for them at the Local 506 in April.
 
Haven't heard much from Margaret lately.  What's up, Mog?
 
Man, I'm pretty good at this blogging thing...
