We're celebrities! Well, sort of...
Tonight was Chris Lee's gallery opening, at Village Grind, in downtown Long Beach. We had a good time... all the people there looked rich, so we were the resident freaky people, like always!
Our photo was up on the wall, sure enough, a 16" x 20" print of one of the shots he took last week at Joe Flash's gallery...

Too much hassle with getting electricians out to estimate our job, and they all want too much money and are going to take too long to do it.
We're doing it ourselves. Went to Home Depot this evening and bought the switch, box, wire, other bits of hardware, for under $40 (compared to $225-$250 to pay someoneto do it). We'll have the job done in...

The last electrician of the day did show yesterday, so we have one more estimate, in the same ballpark, now. He seemed like the best of the three that have actually shown up.
The one scheduled for this morning did not call or show up. Why do these people bother to schedule appointments? He even returned my initial call, to make the appointment. Then just......

You take em high, I'll hit them low.
0 for 2 on electricians showing up today, with one more scheduled appointment this hour.
9am: no call, no show.
12pm: had called yesterday at noon to reschedule to today, today no call, no show. I called him, left a message, got no call back.
Maybe the one between 4 and 5 will show.
Problem is, it's now at the point where I expect them...

Well, we were 1 for 2 with electricians today... the early one showed on time, and gave an estimate. Of course they didn't listen when I said "install an outlet and a switch," so they gave a price that sounded really nice, till I realized they were just talking about the outlet, and asked about the switch. Then they said, "oh, you want a switch,...

We had a tripped out session with 3rd Alley tonight... everyone wanted totally different things in the headphone mixes, which is unusual for them. And then they kept having this or that be too loud or too quiet, so for a while, setting up and changing around headphone mixes was all that got done. They also brought a reference CD for their drum sounds which...

We were going to head to the Venice Beach drum circle today, had the drums ready to load in the car and everything, but then we considered the weather. It was far more overcast than earlier in the day, a little chilly, sure to be chillier at the ocean, and a 20% of rain. All that considered, we decided with regret to skip it this...

Hi nice to see that you are still up, I am glad the califurnia thing is working out for you. I grew up there and know that personally I was not meant to be there. I play the world of warcraft every night after work, I use the Kirin Tor server becuase all of the high school buddies play there. Mostly I play my dwarf hunter Longwalk. Anyway it would be a real suprise if you were on the same server but keep in touch and maybe I'll take you shooting some time.
Still nothing back from NARAS since the receipt for my payment. No idea how long that's going to take, or if I'll just get a membership card in the mail or something.
Thursday night we went to the closing reception for the Hard Wear gallery exhibition. We had seen the cover image in the email invite, and we'd even looked at the web site before...

So I got my online application to NARAS/the Grammys through... I had tried it a couple months ago and there were errors in the credit card processing and it wouldn't work. Decided just to wait till March when their year starts over. Tried it once tonight and it didn't work, but then tried again and got it to go through. At the end it just...

Wow I am not worthy you'll be a mover and a shaker soon 
I'm not on myspace - not that I have anything against it but I just couldn't cope with two blog sites and SG fits me to a tee.

Well, it occurs to me that my membership here is going to run out soon... Much as the site is fun and I enjoy being here, there are too many other priorities for money than SG membership... I've been the last 6 months on gift memberships, and I don't expect people to continue doing that for me, unless, of course, someone really wants to. Which...

So today we had a session with one of our regular band clients. These guys are a good band, really funny songs, and getting close to finished tracking their album.
Just one problem. For a good couple of hours today, they were tracking bass parts. This is not the part that's the problem. The whole time they were tracking bass, the drummer was sitting in...

Back from my working trip to Colorado... it was crazy, worked two full 40-hour weeks, plus spending time on web site updates every night after the show. Was getting like 3 hours of sleep a night, less some nights. Yep, I was totally exhausted by the end of it.
Rested up for a day, packed for a day, loaded the car (it was SO packed......
