        04/29/10
        I know I've been talking about this project forever, but The Cause Dowels DVD is finally happening. Right now, we're in the process of formatting the discs. The final DVD set is a whopping twelve discs, which caused Bram to note, "isn't that a bit excessive?" Sure, but th

        I am finally starting to edit the footage I have been digitizing for the 15th Anniversary Edition of Cause Dowels. The first video I started on is the PSU Talent Show from 1991. I'm not sure why, but we video taped the whole show. You may remember when I posted on this topic a few months ag

        I am back to digitizing videos for the release of the Cause Dowels 15th Anniversary DVD. I finally got around to dumping down the famous (or infamous) Two Shirt Band Video. This is probably the first video document of Bone Sauce, circa 1991. We had just started a few months before this was shot.

        You not believe this but there was a time when Bone Sauce played live shows. This was probably from 1991 to 1995.

        Shots from the practice at Bram and I's apartment. I don't know whether I made a print of either pic at the time, so I'm guessing this is the first time anyone is seeing them. I'm almost certain I spent more time printing shots of the full band at this practice, sans me.
