there’s something in the road ahead…
last week we took a break from our recording process to go out east for the weekend to take part in joelly’s wedding. it was a beautiful time spent on a small yacht under the lights of new york harbor… filled with much singing, dancing, and drinking with good friends in beautiful clothing until the wee hours of the night. all told, a wonderful weekend. thanks and congratulations to joel and dre, now officially mr & mrs joel d. coan… they’re currently on their honeymoon, in what i’m sure is a vastly different and far more exotic location than milwaukee, wi.
the only blemish on the experience was the fact that our good friend juan diego dominguez (other wise know as the culpa van) now looks like this-
in an attempt to cut costs, we decided to road trip out to the wedding in the culpa van. on the way back, 14 miles outside of toledo, a fairly large deer decided that this life was no longer for him, and chose our van to be the instrument of deliverance that would ultimately transport him into the next life. thankfully, besides the deer, no one was hurt and it looks as though the insurance is going to pick up the cost of repairs on the van. seriously, it was a very close call and it could’ve gone a much different way and for that, we’re very thankful.
so that brings us to now. after the short break for Joelly’s wedding, and the unintended calamities that ensued afterwards we are back in the studio, this time laying down the bass tracks. i’m sitting here listening to tristan playing along to the first track and i couldn’t be happier to be back here. we are working on getting the perfect “burning alligator” bass tone at the moment, and it’s a tough thing to do.
we are scheduled to get the bass and all of the guitars done by the 6th of november, so we’ll see if we can adhere to that time frame. i’m sure we’ll have more updates between now and then.
jeffro is being a serious a-hole.
