stayed up awhile last night. joe finished modern warfare 2. i am still impressed by that. i downloaded a bunch of public domain flicks and some tv shows. might have to get onto torrenting the pacific soon. I LOVE THAT AMERICA DOESN'T HAVE DOWNLOAD LIMITS.
slept for what felt like ages only to wake up and find i'd slept 5 hours. i had hectic dreams so i guess that made it seem longer than it was. i slept a little more, got up, got ready, put my boots on and headed out the door with the others for the first item on the agenda for sxsw: KEXP studio taping at the gibson showroom. jon had already gone ahead and loaded the gear in/set some of it up. whattaguy. got comfortable, found an amazing all-natural passionfruit soda (glass bottles, baby...the way, the truth, the light...i love the US so far if only for this) and tried to find internet (couldn't find internet).
cause it was the gibson showroom we had to tape over any guitar logo that wasn't gibson. fender amps/gweets were taped up and instruments were swapped for gibson ones. bit weird. i got to play a slingerland kit with gene krupa's initials on the front. really cool. 26x16 kick too. hoo mama, that's a man's kit. it sounded just great. i fiddled around while everyone got ready with their respective 'struments. soundcheck, got ready then the taping happened around 1:30pm. we did okay, cameras didn't seem to throw us off or anything. i thought i was gunna be terrified. i think it'll be on kexp.org soon for anyone who's interested. the room was super quiet, i accidently hit my hatrick a few times. couple of stray jingles can really make you feel awkward when it's silent.
packed up and headed to some food. joe, jack and i got tacos from jack in the box. 2 for 99c. that's pretty amazing, no? i enjoyed them. like pineapple a LOT. got some OJ and banana chips from ze superb-market and we headed back to the homestead where i am now. don't have to be in the city for a little while, just been internetting and listening to the new dillinger album (stream it from their myspace: myspace.com/dillingerescapeplan) with some paramore thrown in for good measure.
speak soon.
