Wild Card

I have never jumped higher, yelled louder, or smiled crazier than I did on Sunday when sitting in the 17th row at field level I watched Ryan Braun jack a two-run homer to put the Brewers up 3-1 over the cubs in the bottom of the 8th. Pure bliss. I will never forget watching the end of the Marlins-Mets game on the big screen at Miller Park with 30,000 brewers fans, nor will I forget the millions of pieces of blue and gold confetti falling onto us like a blizzard of relief. The stress of watching/listening to 162 games through ups and downs was gone and in its place was pure jubilance. This was most certainly the best baseball game I have ever been to. I only hope it doesn't peak here, and we can keep it going.

loosing my blog virginity

Ok, so I have finally caved in and started a blog. But why? i mean, is anyone really going to be intrested in reading the random things I have going on in my head? Consider this a social expirement then.
In all honesty this may just be another attempt at some shameless self-promotion and a great way to display my piss-poor spelling abilities.
So let's do a little introduction:
Hi, I'm Mark...typically I'm addressed by my last name, Noxon. People seem to like it. It's a pallendrome, you know, spelled the same forwards and backwards. My last name takes it one step further, however. You can read it forwards, backwards, and upside down. NOXON...seriously try it hit ctl + alt + the down arrow and read for yourself (restore your view with ctl/alt/up)...weird, huh?

I live in Madison, Wisconsin. It's a beautiful city, often refered to as a musicians grave yard (I'm sure I will rant about this topic later, so I'll save it)
I play with the Lucas Cates Band. We tour nationally and are working to pay our bills. Check it out on my links. I'm also sitting in with this funk band called Chafo for the next year.
I do studio work for anybody, anywhere, any style.
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a degree in history (again, there will probably be more posts on this stuff too).

If you are still reading this I'm impressed...and thanks!
