I bought some wristbands partway through the craze from a website whose address I have forgotten. They were black and said: I did not vote 4 Bush. Unfortunately, however, they were too big for me to wear, so I just gave them all away.

You should take some pics of the performance space when it's complete. Sounds neat.

Well, you're right. We all have something. I write. That's my bag, though I wish I could do more. I used to be more of a visual artist, but I started psyching myself out too much to be able to pick up any sort of brush or pencil. I did paint something for my fiance for Christmas (I think there's a picture in my Misc. folder). Rather catharctic as well.

And sorry I can't tell you anything about the musical side of Me'Shell's Comfort Woman. I just know how it sounds as a whole. I'm lucky if I can pick out more than one instrument at a time.

Just a quick update before i find something to eat for myself...

got a copy of Toast 5.1.1 but it didn't seem to work. Kept opening and disapearing.
Found that i could have OSX (or one of it's components) mount it as a drive for me without toast. Cool. Nope, couldn't get it to install. Maybe it won't work on Mac. Maybe i have to call my other friend who has toast 7.1 titanium or whatever they call it.... frustrated, downloaded Alcohol 120% trial, got Reason 2.5 on my PC laptop. Cool.

Still had usb interface woes....dealt with that for a few hours when almost gave up. Used it's ASIO drivers to control the intergrated laptop soundcard. UNPLUGGED the laptop and ran off battery power. No more terrible noises coming from the sound card. Hrrmmmm ground problems i see? Well, whatever, because for now, i have a version of reason that works. It's got the Malstrom and other newer soft-gear, and i can go out from the headphone jack into my 002 and it fucking works. It fucking works. It's not the best setup, very limited, but it fucking works. I still want to get it going so my G4 is self contained, but for now it works well enough for me to book a gig and fucking play.

Thank you so fucking much dude. This rocks so hardcore. I owe you something, although i couldn't imagine what

aww...bummer. i was looking forward to seeing you again. to tell you the truth, im not really in to it this year. but i will go and make the most of it as usual.

I have a wristband. it's white. it's fashionably concious. actually it's for the ONE/makepovertyhistory campaign. It's sort of a statement although one of my friends brought it to my attention that paying a dollar for a wristband doesn't really change anything and that dollar would be better spent if i just went over to one of those benefitting countries and gave it to someone.

so does this mean you are now a pervert? cuz i don't know if we can talk anymore if you're a perv. just kidding. but for chrissakes man, put that doom back in your pocket before someone gets hurt!

how many days did you camp out at this festival? it looks like you had a good enough time. but me, i am not a camper, i'd have been miserable. i probably would have curled up in a ball in the tent and refused to come out. so i guess it's a good thing you went and i didn't.

i'm surprised they put up all those climbable looking sculptures in the midst of all those people. i'm even more surprised that only that one guy tried to climb on one. what is the world coming to?

Bummer about Prom. But, I imagine you'll make it up to the City one of these days.

Thanks for the tip, I just got an account there.

Luckily, no one else in my class told a story like I did. I was paranoid that someone else was going to, though.

I suppose that's true, but I've never experienced any of the super clingy-psycho guys. I tend to find really nice boring guys or your run-of-the-mill douchebags.

I like your pics. Those structures look really cool. I would have loved to see them close up.

I want to go to Coachella.

Glad my profile pic puts a smile on yer face. Ferrets are good for that.

he he, i had a ferret once!


anyway, i'm not really obsessed with the end of the world, and i haven't been able to discern any pattern in my daily life that might be making me have these dreams. i haven't had one in awhile, but one week it was several nights in a row. i do, however, have no doubt that the human race is working very hard to destroy itself. which is fine with me, i just wish it wouldn't take the earth down with it. and i don't believe in any sort of religious ending unless it involves christians and muslims nuking the hell out of each other.

did you hear about the elephants that fled the tsunami? they know. i like to think it's because they're still closer to the earth, psychic-wise. we've "evolved" so much and separated ourselves from the planet we survive on, we've detached ourselves from ourselves. i was thinking that the other day while watching one of our dogs twitch in his dream. they're domesticated, but they're still so close to being wild creatures. i don't know. i'm rambling.

hee hee. Well I got a gift for ya then.
"MST3K's end of series revue"
I clipped it from the Rough cut of Diabolik. During the filming they stopped and surprised the guys with this little clip show from a bunch of previous episodes.
They laugh so hard but it's also a bit poignant because they are filming the last episode ever.
Anyway, enjoy!

wow.. it looks like it was a good time!

and i'd wear those Doom wristbands..
