Vacation
I need to go somewhere, quick. I am programmed to travel at least 200 miles away from the house at least once every 6 months and it's been 10 months since my last trip. What's even more hilarious is that I just got a new car in June and I haven't traveled further than metro Phoenix since purchasing it.
Oi.
I'm thinkin' Vegas...it's in my blood. Grandpa Ching would take the whole family there and spend time at the Horseshoe in old Vegas. Now THAT'S what I'm talking about...bourbon and coke.
Viva!

John Stamos
It was in 5th grade that I discovered John Stamos (holy crap...was that 1982?). He was my first pin-up from Tiger Beat (Ralph Macchio followed a year later). This was one of the posters I had on my wall. It's funny though...he was a drummer primarily, not a guitar dude. Uh, well...he was my prince. Ahhhhhh...those were the dayzzzzzz...
Release
this is an entry from last week...:)
For the past 3 days I have been diligently mixing down and burning The Pübes CDs for our CD release party at Hollywood Alley on Saturday night. I haven't gotten much sleep but I find that working towards a goal like this (specifically, an "event") gets me going BIG TIME - before I know it, it's 2am. The mixing part was probably the hardest, next to recording screamo punk rock vocals at 10am on a Saturday in my jammies pre-coffee (this can be "challenging"). I'd create a mix or 2 in about 30 minutes, burn a CD, run downstairs, out to my car, and pop it in to check the overall sound. Then I'd run back upstairs with my mental notes, remix, and repeat. After 2 days of this, I had my mix. It's rough, very lo-fi, and short (our average song length is probably about 2m30s)....like the Pübes:) I think it's a pretty good go, given that we did it all on our own, from recording, to mixing, to duplicating. I just hope that everyone enjoys it and the show on Saturday.
Come down to Hollywood Alley on Saturday and witness the majesty.
