A quick shot of the iPad mount. I'm way too proud of this project. But dude, it's a 1950's freakin' phone booth!

Finished turning a 1950's phone booth into a vocal booth for the studio. Had to drive it from my wife's childhood home in Houston to Austin, open up the wall and build a closet around it. It's finally deadened, wired up and the iPad mounts works perfectly.

I go to therapy in search of my authentic self & find that he was last seen as a shy kid who read sci-fi & listened to prog. And now my songs have gone from 4 min to 7. This is an interesting journey. Can't wait to release this project.

We have the blueprint:
Now is the time for a plucky Canadian teenager to embrace a new religion, team up with a smuggler and Bigfoot, bring down an evil regime and restore peace and decency to the world all over the course of a three day weekend. I'm totally in.

I think I bought this around '94. The first six chapters are just different forms of laughter. Then blank pages. Then some tips on donating plasma & doing pharmaceutical testing.
Just kidding. I shouldn't brag, but over the past 30 years, I've actually made several hundred dollars. 🥁🎸🤘

It may not seem too wild now, but for Amarillo TX in '90, I stood out like GWAR at a grocery store.

I’m not saying I was a nerd or anything but it looks like when I first had access to a computer as a kid, I used the opportunity to type and print the lyrics to Rush 2112.

Every night I put out a little bit of cat food, some grapes and some fresh water. My buddy shows up within two or three minutes, uses his bridge, and enjoys his supper. In return, he keeps my property free from rodents.
I love my night dog.

Memories from the attic: College notes. My wife toured all over in a world beat band before earning her degree, including a minor in ethnomusicology.
She totally knows her sh*t. She just also happens to be a bad ass in tech sales. Also why she’s never questioned my career in music once.
I’m lucky

My daughter had her picture taken yesterday in between Madame Wong's and the Hong Kong Cafe. Somehow, I was the only member of my family who was excited about it.
I blame the school system. Our children need to know where the Germs played.

I came back inside from the studio and it's like I walked into a mystery series on Netflix.
My family is gone, but the cars are here. No one is responding to texts and the only thing different in the house is this can opener that is sitting on the kitchen counter.
so many questions. . .

I got the roto toms just for weird timbale-ish overdubs. Can't lie though - my inner 15 year old is having a freakin' blast right now! Love my new direct drive PDP double pedal too. It seems every bit as well built as my 9000 gear.

It's a weird moment when you think you're a punk, but then realize that you're not writing a social commentary protest song, but some kind of a psyche-prog 6 song concept piece instead.
So you say "f*ck it", buy some roto-toms and dive in.

7th grade Grover has been waiting for this moment for months. But now he's excited and wants to play D&D and hit the arcade at the mall.
