I thought my parents came home at 5 but it was the wrong time so I drove to the airport to pick them up at rush hour and they weren’t there and I was mad, but I went home and had some of the chilli I made and I cheered up. Had a short Bees [...]
Got up around 11 and took the dogs, and somehow, in the night, Pasha had stepped in some motor oil and gotten on the white couch! I turned the cushions over and you can’t tell. Went around the house and found little bits of oil everywhere and cleaned them up. Went to El Mariachi with [...]
It was the 2nd night of Guilty Pleasures and I went by Corner Music and bought another tuner ($87) and rehearsal went well and we finished about 8 and I went home, and this time I didn’t shower. I’m paranoid about getting my hands wet too much when I play bass. The gig went well [...]
It was the first of 2 nights of Guilty Pleasures and we rehearsed at the Mercy Lounge. I brought some tea and some cookies but I ate them right when I got there, so we got hungry and went to Sonic and I had a BLT. It wasn’t very good. It is definitely a fun [...]
Went home and tidied up the studio and Nini Camps came over and we made a demo of our song, “Everywhere is Home”. She’s very methodical in the studio. She was a good influence and was teaching me some things about Protools. We went to lunch at international market and I had Indian Noodle Soup [...]
Another day hanging with my grandma and Leslie, and we went to Franklin. They’ve got a new Puckett’s out there, and I was naughty and had a hamburger. We went to a thrift shop and I got another John LeCarre. Then went home and had a nap and got busy in the kitchen. Overcast and [...]
I rehearsed with “The Petty Theives”, although they don’t technically have a gig yet. We played a lot of Tom Petty songs and the amazing thing about those songs is that you know them sub-conciously. They always go where you want them to go, pretty much. That’s why I wanted to play with them: to [...]
Well, it was Monday, and I needed to pay some bills. Went to lunch with Jeanne and Leslie and basically took it easy. Lots of conversations with L. about our sort of “moving on”, and it takes it out of you emotionally. Worked on some Guilty Pleasures stuff and stayed sort of busy. Got a [...]
Woke up kind of late and Vicky walked the dogs, thank god. Leslie came over and we had lots of tea and talks and walks and she made Brunswick stew. I made a salad and invited my Grandpa but he was waiting for Vicky to finish shopping so he didn’t want to come. We invited [...]
Lex asked me to pick him up for the Americana Festival. I asked the organizer Dara if most of the acts were “Americana” and she said “Pretty much.” Arrived about 2 and it was a beautiful day out there at Montgomery Bell state park. The trees were gorgeous and the sky was completely clear. It [...]
