Phoenix

I am *so* tired of fucking things up. Thankfully it was laughed off, but still. Silence is not golden. :(

Lots of different people around due to taping last night, suprised things went as smoothly as they did. What an odd bunch of guys they are.

Abundant use of the blinders in their show. Strange artistic move, but whatever they wanted. There was a bank of Mac500's pointed right into the crowd from behind the drum riser. ??? I know the blue lens was in my face during check. Annoying really.

Everything was down and out in about half an hour. Their setup is suprisingly minimal. One 2x12 Line6 amp, a Roland amp, few other things, all very small. Others could take lessons.

Going back to the office again today. Need some sleep, should have taken the day off. Too late now. May write more later on. Can't think straight right now.

Stuck at home

The eye doctor's office sucks. I'd forgotten exactly how much. I'd rather work an 18 hour day at a gig doing physical labour than do a 12 shift at the office.

So tired. Didn't even get the wall put up in my house yet, but making way on getting the french drain lined up. Looks like it'll only be about a thousand dollars + rental of the jackhammer.

A good portion of the exterior window trim that I could reach has been primed and painted. Looks better already.

William is stocked for food, but had started the guilt trip on me already. 'Every morning I wake up and I'm so thankful that you're still here. I love you so much. Either he's been hit on the head by something or is on some really good drugs. Scratch that, I know he's on good drugs. Maybe he's increased his dosage.

More gigs cancelled, looks like the bug has bitten Joe big time. :( None of the rest of us had it that bad, but we didn't have to sing either. Don't know what's going to happen now. Everyone's been sent home, even the guys that stayed on. Sometimes things just go pear shaped. Or 'Sideways Slither' as it's been named.

Hahaha, that's funny. The Official website hasn't even been updated yet. Hope no one is travelling to Grand Rapids. As always, call before you head out. It's still day by day. Bummer.
