I don't know what to write about. I haven't been super happy lately. I am getting ready to move back up to Santa Barbara where I will open up my calendar store again this year. It should be lots of fun. I have also been doing my music. Yeah. Bla. It is turning out nicely. I am growing more and more musically after every song I write. I went to amoeba music last night to find Canadian music. They didn't have anything that I was looking for. They suck. I was also looking for a Henry Rollins stand up DVD and they didn't have that either. Oh well. I went to a vegan Chinese restaurant with Michael and Holly. We hung out with Holly at Randy Jackson's office. He's a big star, and judge on American Idol. He wasn't there that day because he was on a plane to S.F. to tape the show, but I hear he is a really nice guy. He seems like he would for some reason. We went in to the recording studio where people like Mariah Carey recorded and I was like a kid in a candy store because of all the cool guitars they had in there. I played a couple.

Bad Blogger

I have been a bad blogger lately. I think it is due to my hand being in a cast, and it being very difficult for me to type. I just got my cast off a couple of days ago so now I'm back in business.
I also got a bunch of pro recording software and hardware. It's a FirePod digital interface. I can record up to eight tracks at once, and the pre-amps are killer. I am running Cubase for all of this as well. I have been holed up getting used to the software and working out little kinks with the hardware. I have already recorded a kirtan, and am starting to piece songs together. I am so happy to upgrade. I have been using a little analog four track for the last four years or so, and now I am set with forty eight tracks! Not to mention effects and great EQ. The quality of sound is just fantastic.
So there's my excuse. Now that I have my hand back I should be typing more blogs.
