It's been a while...

I have finally gotten into the metal shop and made some architectural and furniture pieces. The first one I made was a tall-slim coffee table / Bench for a brooklyn appartment's balcony. The top is a thick slab of 3' by 10" marble framed by angle iron and held by square legs. The next metal object is an exterior air conditioner mount. The materials for both pieces were all salvaged (the angle iron with holes for the A/C mount was from my childhood loft). I hope to get photos up soon of both pieces in their intended envirvonments, not the hallway to my studio...
So what was the hold up? Music, I've been playing a lot of music. I now play bass for two bands, The Dakota and Iyadede. The only live shows The Dakota have played have been in various NYC parks, but we are gearing up for our first live show in a proper venue. In the photo we are playing in McCarren Park in Williamsburg, BK. Iyadede has played a bunch and we're playing Santo's Party House on 9/2 and MTV Studios on 9/11. In the photo we are playing at Brooklyn Museum, opening for Baja + The Dry Eye Crew at the Rembering Future Africa event.
