Walked early and did some dishes. Jaren called at 9 something and I didn’t think he got up that early but he sounded very proffessional and he told me the band was signing their deal today. Went to Harris Teeter and got a chicken ($6) and made chicken sandwiches for me and my grandma. Jaren came over after lunch, and he had an idea that was pretty cool, so we worked on that. Picked up Barry and Holly and they told me a little about their trip, then I went to meet Brad Jones at the Sportsman’s and he was talking about Timothy Leary and Aldous Huxley, and he said he would never give me acid, because I was already kind of a tripped-out cat. And it’s true, I never had much of a feel for LSD. We had a couple beers and he said he thought the vocals on the Bees record could be better and he’s really right, but what can you do? Just try harder next time I guess. But he felt kind of bad, because he said “Carrie loves the vocals!” and he was trying to smooth it over, but he’s right. Leslie called about 11 and she was just getting home. Went to Hopkins and slept in the guest room. It gave me kind of a sad feeling, in a way, but I fell asleep almost immediately.
