Try This on the Road: Lessons 7-8
9/12 Day Off!
In Adair, Iowa…*sigh*

Try This on the Road: Lessons 1-2
Staging a national tour is a much like plotting a military invasion, only less bloodshed and a lot more body odor. Also, we collect less federal funds and a lot more Walmart coupons. In such respects, Napolean really was a 19th century rock star.

WatchTwo massive twin terminator robo-arms laying waste to some steel right outside the rehearsal space. So cool.
Having to rerecord drums on a jam that’s 90% done is like trying to re-cloth a table already set w/china. Or in this case plastic sporks & cups. Augh
If you ever feel like the world doesn’t give a shit about you, just stop paying a few bills for a while.

Somewhere around halfway through a bottle of cheap red and “Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots” is pretty much the reason I love making music.

What a rad dude.. RT @DalaiLama: To my way of thinking, the diversity that exists among the various religious traditions is enormously enriching.
