so... this year is going by pretty fast and its been a long time since february. weird.
in the past few weeks, i've finished the wiseblood record. we sent it off a few weeks ago to be mastered and we are currently reviewing the first reference. some improvements have been made, but we still have tweeking to do. when you record an entire record yourself at numerous locations with mulitple musicians... its tough. i'll never do a record like this again. the production suffers in places.
in other places, it sounds pretty good. the track i wrote and contributed to the record, after the flood... will probably end up as a hidden track. its instrumental and just too strange for the record itself. or i'll just cut it.
i rehearsed and played a low key show with duquette at cave 9... its weird playing drums again. i'm not really sure that i like it. my brain has been re-wired for bass. i think i like recording/tracking drums, but i'm not that big on performance. it could also mean i just suck on drums. work is getting busy now that summer is over... i'm going to try to jump back into yoga this week.
i'm chatting with my ex, zella again... its weird, but cool. trying to hang a bunch of prints in my apt... but i think i've decided to get a loft in feb, so what's the point?
bought a ton of cool office furniture a few weeks back... it made my apt look much more "together."
last thursday there was a big shindig at rojo for jessi-co's 32nd birthday. most of my good friends were there. had a great time. talked on the phone with some new friends, ran into clint wells at rojo and he informed me that the guy who is mastering our record, who clint knows, forwarded clint a mastered version of the track "lonely broom." this did not please me.
i know its been a while since i have mastered a record, but i didn't think that forwarding unreleased, unapproved tracks to people was the norm. maybe i'm just a douche bag. however, if clint requested it, then i really don't care. he did more to help the record than i did.
anyway... here's jessica (jessi-co) and me at her b-day party...
i went to a halloween party at greg and hannah slamen's house last saturday... you can view some photos at these links:

this week i'm finishing up a project for skybucket records, trying to hang these damned prints... and i'm going to try to find a way to get out of this fall funk i'm in. i really hate being the victim of seasonal mood disorders. its bullshit.
i'm in the mood to buy a serious camera rig and tons of new gear and furniture and a huge tv... so... i'm either going to start selling drugs or whoring out my musician skills. either way it will suck, but the pay will rock. i'm not emotionally ready for cold weather.
oh... and last week, the president of the united states, along with the house - approved the elimination of habaus corpus. so basically, we have no rights to representation against the government. the original 10 bill(s) of rights is a dead document. we are OFFICIALLY... ON PAPER... a fascist regime. maybe that's why i'm so fucking happy.
