Thanks to everyone to came to the show last night. It was a good turn out and it was a lot of fun to play since I haven't done so in a while. The new/old Partial album is out and if you'd like a copy just let me know via email.

A piece of poop dipped in gold, and other tales.

Viva Las Vegas. Or so Elvis says. I was able to take a little trip to Las Vegas starting last Thursday, and we drove home Monday. Inbetween that time, I got to spend some good old fashioned Vegas time with my old pal Jake, his wife Ashley, their baby Will, Tim, and Ashley's friend Chrissy and her friend Owen. We hotel jumped like Johnny Depp and Bencio Del Toro from our first night on Fremont St at Binnion's (which had wonderful curtains that looked as if they had been shot at with a shotgun more than once), to the Palms west of the strip for two, and last and pretty much least (not counting the curtians at Binnion's) the Tropicana, which we are convinced will be demolished by next Christmas. The highlight of the trip was either being solicited by a young lady who we flatly turned down at 4 am the first night, or the giant faces of Donnie and Marie plastered on the side the Flamingo after walking from the entire end of the strip to the next, all in the name of the half off with your player's card buffet at the Sahara.

So now its two days before Christmas, and I'm hoping I don't get the old "stomach flu on the 23rd" that I've had in years past. I'm feeling good about halfway through the day so I think I should be alright.

The real reason I wanted to post was to talk about how recording is going to go better now that I am not in school, and that at least one song, New Mexico, after several hourse of dinking around on the keyboard, is pretty much done, at least we know what we want. Let's hope luck is truly a lady as we head into 2009.

Open Mic this Friday

Playing at an open mic this friday, at L'Astelier Cafe at 57 West 200 South. Probably around 7 PM. Come on down if you like the downtown and being cool.

Uh, good job?

Earlier in the week we worked on Trophy Wives vs. The Homeless. I was able to lay down a dummy and Brent got some great drums down for it. Also worked a little on New Mexico, adding a bass part, so it is coming along nicely. In other news, I need someone who can paint to do album artwork sooner or later.

Brent gets song stuck in head over weekend, improves the song by at least tenfold

I came over last (Monday) night to the studio to work on stuff. I originally decided it would be a good idea to lay down as much vocal/guitar base stuff as possible. Brent said he had thought about some ideas for Visit the Zoo, to which I agreed we should work on. So we did. Drums were on the top of the list, realizing after playing them for a while that it was sounding pretty good, I tried to play the backing guitar to the metronome, which was of course, as fustrating as spending six dollars on a 75 cent hamburger at a football game only to have it fall open-faced on the dirty concrete as soon as you sit back down in your seat at the stadium.

So I eventually overcame my inability to keep a steady beat while playing a guitar and singing vaguely into a microphone, and then we jammed out a bit more figuring out the drums. So eventually we'll get back to that, and it will probably turn out pretty great.
