not much new. got a haircut. makng music. making furniture. squandering my free time and not getting enough things done.

feels like i'm in a glass box with no way out except to smash it.

ah, it's saturday. last night i went and saw my friend Jason Mackenroth ( the drummer on the SEN record) play at the Cat Club. he was on fire. world class drummer. Also, on bass was my friend Jacques Wait who mixed my record and playing guitar was John Kuker who produced my record. I was in awe of the talent. they are all such...

just got back from Egypt today. ready to pass out. seems like I've been up for days. it was an incredible experience. it felt old, completely disconected from a western world. exotic and poor. crumbling buildings and wires and satelites dishes. Hot. yellow brick and sand and rock. burning sun. crazy traffic and a chaos of people and sounds.

so the band has just finished it's first video. directed by Karla Eduvia.

if you're curious to check it out go here:

I just got Sen's ASCETIC on itunes...i'm excited about that.

we will be shooting an independant video in a couple of weeks for Hold Me Down. Should be fun. I'm a little nervous about looking like a jackass though.

going to Minneapolis the end of May to see some Rock n ROll and friends and family....

so i think I may have found a bass player for the band. hopefully. I'm meeting two from the responses I got froman ad. I think one of them will work out.

booking some out of town dates in June. Phoenix, Tucson, and San Diego.

Going to Minneapolis May 25th for a friends fashion/rock show at First Ave. should be very cool.

i was going to go to Boardners tonight to check out a band with my friend Beth. But the band bailed. they were pissed at how they were treated so they loaded out just after loading in. lame, this town treats rock bands like shit.

so I got tacos, a coke, and a movie. i feel like i could use some down time to re-energize....

went and checked out the free burlesque show tonight at the Derby. it was allright. nothing special. seemed a little amatuerish. I wanted to check out the derby again anyway. I was thinking of trying to book the band there. seems like it would be fairly cool. I saw Autolux there and it was pretty rad.

drinking alone at a bar watching a burlesque show...
