I just returned from PASIC 2013 in Indianapolis, and I’m still moved by the whole experience. Just WOW. It was such a special event, one that I will never forget. Here are some photos from my trip:

Thanks to Mostly Marimba for selling my music at their booth! And, thanks to my wife Amanda for designing these!!!

Thankful to Eric Willie, Michael Burritt, and Julie Hill for programming my music for so many other percussionists to hear. Thankful to Mostly Marimba for allowing a self published composer like me to have some booth space to sell my music. And, thankful to all my friends, new and old, for a wonderful time.
