Wow. Incredible rudeness. (Adventures on LA...
Wow. This is interesting and so I needed to share.
I was just on the LA craigslist, looking through the musicians section. I found this gem of an ad: Old guy seeks to join surf band.
Here’s the text of the ad:
Looking for a surf rock band to join . I am 57. Looking to play for fun and dames, yeah I said dames. Hey, I can dream cant I?. NOT looking for a “project” or...

tears of joy
Finally bought the longest Daft Punk music video ever TRON: Legacy soundtrack today. I need my favorite French electronic duo to get back in the studio. The place in my heart reserved for Daft Punk is still here. I would drink their bathwater, actually… For so long, I’ve been trying to get the feeling back. Seeing others. (Justice, Phoenix, Neon Indian, etc) and … it’s...

Well, I will say that TRON: Legacy was indeed the longest Daft Punk video I’ve ever seen, and I loved every single second of it.

personal.
If anyone needs me tonight, I will be crying into a bottle of Bombay Sapphire and stuffing my face with any and all food that I can find in this house. Or, I might just be holding the bottle up to my face and crying against the label, because that is some really nice gin, and someone wisely pointed out to me yesterday that I might not want to move home to the East Coast with an open bottle of gin...

Flavors of East Africa - El Cajon Blvd.
So for San Diegans who frequent the Hillcrest Farmer’s Market on Sundays, you have probably either seen or smelled the Flavors of East Africa food tent. It is delicious - Kenyan inspired food that’s one of my favorite stops at the farmer’s market. They opened a restaurant on El Cajon Blvd. at the beginning of the year. I have been meaning to make it there all year and, welp,...

Yeah I’m sick in bed, but I just found out I could re-download iTunes store purchases that I lost and so I’m sick listening to Van McCoy and yeah. I really want to go roller skating right now like WHOA. Maybe it’ll help me feel better…

Eartha Kitt is fucking smart and rad. This quote is super true, too. You’ll spend your WHOLE life with yourself, no one else gets that. Learn to be stoked about that and life is pretty grand!

When I saw Prince at the Forum a couple months ago, he covered “Do You Wanna Funk,” with roller skaters and all, and I literally almost died.

Scoring
I was starting to get really worried about scoring some music lately. I have a whole lot of work to do for a lot of upcoming music. And then I pulled out some songs from the vault and got really excited, because it’s just been a while since I was scoring for other instruments. I can do this. I CAN do this. I will score things, and they will sound the way I want them to sound. I’m...

almost packed.
Laundry is drying. Trying to figure out how to root and tether and do some dumb stuff with my phone so I can constantly have internet but I don’t think it’s going to happen. :/
We had a pretty good practice tonight and I am feeling almost ready to go.
Anyhow. Tomorrow, leaving for a 3-week tour. We’ll be playing in Tucson tomorrow night.
Get ready for some tour posts &...
