I'll see what I can do. I've tried to start consolidating some stuff that's already on .org, and updating the links on a copy of an old page to point to the Internet Archive versions of the linked sites where possible. You can actually still listen to some of the recordings from Song Fight! Live in 2001 still, amazing:

Been a while since I was around, but now that I'm a grown-up, responsible adult, I might throw Houston into consideration for some time in the future.

Pros:

[*]I own a house 15 minutes from the recently expanded George Bush airport, with a spare bedroom and lots of entertaining space
[*]I work for a recording studio, where we would be able to rehearse
[*]The studio would likely be on board with loaning backline, or maybe sponsoring the event somehow
[*]For the first time in my life, I'm not broke. My wife and I are making great money, and I'd love to give back to this community
[*]Pretty sure there are like a dozen songfighters in Texas

Cons:

[*]No venue immediately comes to mind
[*]Houston is a hot, stinky swamp
[*]Driving in Houston is legit dangerous

Whatever happens this summer, I'll try to make an appearance, so long as I'm not shooting a wedding.

Can we assume that this is not happening? I am essentially unemployed for the months of June and July exactly. It's a shame to let this go.
