Fear & Loathing Sessions - Day 1
In our excitement of seeing and working with our beloved Philmore of Stealth Studios, we decided to put together a gift basket of special essential items as a way of saying thanks and to show our gratitude for projects past. The wicker basket was filled with colored paper and somehow a Wawa stuffed pretzel wrapper. The items were picked up at the local Eckerd with thought and care. The final items we bought were anti-bacterial soap and hand sanitizer, the latest issue of National Geographic, Wheat Thins and Trisquits (for those nights of PBS watchng), a can of Alpo and "Pup-eroni" for his new dog, a bottle of Snapple (Rasberry Ice Tea since his preffered Lemon was out), Nestle Crunch, Whoppers, Reeses mini peanut butter cups, & Wherthers hard candies (which we later got into after the presentation). I think he was genuinely moved by our thoughtfulness.
All joking aside, it was time to get down to the dirty work. The first night is always spent miking the drums and getting the sound down. Since I decided to use my own kit this time and Phil was trying out a new technique, the process took a little longer. He was also having a helluva time getting his stuff working in proper order. It's been a year since we were last up there and he had to shake some rust out. Needless to say, the torturous routine of hitting each drum took even longer while all the bugs were getting worked out. Penny made matters worse by continually mooning me with that horrible black hole of a hairy ass. I nailed him in the back with one of my sticks which he took and friggin' rubbed in his crack. I'll sell that one on Ebay, DISGUSTING! Then he was standing there naked with his bass in front of him like friggin' Flea. See the shit I gotta deal with?
Finally, almost 3 hours into it Andy strapped on his guitar and we got some testing sounds down. He started to play BOC's "Godzilla" of all things. By this point it was after 10 and it was time to shut things down for the night. At least everything is set up and ready to go for the next time we go up (Saturday). We might actually start laying down tracks then. Stay tuned. - King
