Ha- nah, I'm leaving Friday afternoon still. I was going to ask Spencer to watch the kids so we could go *out* somewhere and hang this week but he's got to completely redo this project that he stayed up through the night working on the past 3 days and now its all go to be redone because the people he's working for are fucking retards. Hahah. Anyway- So now he's going to be up all night tonight, and tomorrow through the day working on it. He's not going to be able to watch the kids, or tend to them if they wake up at night and distract him he's just too busy, that's why I haven't gotten back to you yet this week ;/ I'm sorry. But I should be back Monday night if you just want to maybe wait til I get back from Stl? Tonight I'm going to be ding all the laundry and cleaning up the house before I go so Spencer doesn't have to worry about any of it and can just focus on working this week. Let me know what you think.
It twas decent. They took forever to get on stage and I didn't like the band that opened for them, but yeah. Oh and I got sick. So just the average show I suppose.
Thanks! I realized after I laid down the musical portion that it was in kind of an uncomfortable key for me. It really pushes the limit of my upper vocal register. It hurt a little to sing. I might re-record it in a lower key at some point...or just have someone else sing it.
pretty good! me and my best friend were writing a cartoon but then we lost momentum and moved on to making music. haha. i am just glad to be creating again, i was in a big rut. how about you?
You're on! Sometime next week for sure. I'll be in stl next weekend and I'll prolly leave Friday so it'll have to be before then. Keep me posted on your schedule, I should be open like a fly. :)
