I wanted to quickly announce that I'll be attending the CEDIA '08 show being held September 3-7, 2008 in Denver Colorado this year. I intend to make it a "live blog" event where I post photos and comments just moments after visiting various displays. I intend to be first to press with a lot of fun news and photos of the latest, greatest gear. Be sure to subscribe or bookmark this blog if you're interested. I promise some very cool content!
Also, I wanted to take a moment to publicly mourn the loss of musician Leroi Moore. It is always sad to see someone cut down in their prime-especially when it seems unnecessary. All the reports I've read indicate that he passed from "complications" related to injuries sustained during an ATV accident on June 30th. While I generally loathe speculation, I do worry that this could be due to overlooked internal injuries. Maybe he shouldn't have been discharged so soon or maybe someone missed something? It just seems like the people handling the PR on this incident (including text on the DMB website) are sticking to some pretty strict rhetorric.
Regardless of the cause, his early death is a tragedy. Even though I was not what most would call a "fan", it is clear that he has touched thousands, if not millions, of lives with his sound. He has accomplished what many musicians only dream of. Rest Easy, Leroi. Your legacy will live on.
