A Berger Joint

About to go live around 2:15ish with Jaret from Bowling For Soup and Dan from A Few Too Many, and founder of simpl., Anthony Pacheco, on the The Alternative Music Networking Group.
We'll be talking about our backgrounds in music, networking, and marketing and hopefully some other useful stuff.
If you're a member of the group, tune in and ask some questions so I don't ramble on about s**t that may not matter to anyone. If you're not a member, go join now!

If you're going to FURNACE FEST in Birmingham, AL next week, or if you're close enough to that area, come party with us for a damn good cause with some damn good bands. Already announced that Trever Keith from Face to Face, Nominee, Dave Elkins from Mae, and Derek Archambault from Defeater/Alcoa will be there, and now I couldn't be more excited to announce that Bad Cop/Bad Cop and Andy Jackson from Hot Rod Circuit will also be playing. Get your tickets while you still can...it's a small venue with only 150 tickets being sold. Link in comments.

If you've been following along with the Rock Bottom at the Renaissance journey, you know I've been donating 50% of the book, ebook, and audiobook royalties to mental health charities and artist/crew relief. I don't usually post about those donations because it's not something I want to draw attention to or take credit for, but I'm completely transparent with the charities I donate to and with anyone who asks. However...I felt the need to share this one since it's pretty public and I came to find out about it when Frank Turner (friend of Zero Platoon) posted about it, and they could use all the help they can get.

If you can spare a couple bucks, go to the comment section below to find the link and please give what you can.

FROM THE GO FUND ME:
"Chances are, if you have ever met Casey, you became fast friends. You also know he would never ask for anything in return. Having been in a similar position and knowing so many would want to help, I wanted to start this fund and try to take one potential concern off the table.
Over the past three years Jodi and Casey have been through so much. From having to flee and relocate due to the Paradise fire, to spending the last 18 months unable to work due to COVID restrictions on live events. Unfortunately these past few weeks have presented a new challenge. While on his first work trip since early 2020, Casey started to feel intense back & rib pain. After a ton of tests Casey was diagnosed with Stage 2 Multiple Myeloma as the disease had spread to vertebrae and ribs. Casey has an uphill battle over the next few months to undergo treatment (radiation, chemotherapy, and a stem cell transplant). The doctors are confident they will be able to get this under control, but Casey is gonna have to sit on the sidelines for a few months and focus on healing. Everyone in Flogging Molly has been incredibly supportive of Casey allowing him to focus on his health.
With so much to focus on, the last thing I want for Jodi and Casey is to also worry about finances. After 18 months out of work, and facing another 6, I thought this GoFundMe would be a perfect way to try to alleviate one potential area of stress for them. Please like, share, give, and do what you can to reciprocate the love and support Casey has poured into all our lives."

huge shout out to Chorus.fm for the continued support of Rock Bottom at the Renaissance.

Check out the chat Tyler Posey and I had with Adam Grundy. We dive real deep into the process of working together on recording and producing the audiobook version and even open up about some difficulties of working together from separate coasts.

Thanks, Chorus.fm and Adam!
