I come to the Oddy today (always a big mistake) and the place is torn up because of some dumb remodeling. Because we live underwater in the Northwest, everything everywhere is damp all the time. That’s great for you skin, but pretty awful for carpets. When we had that flood in the Big Room (!!) it was decided to rip up the carpet in the Grey Room and take care of the water seepage-slash-mold problem there. BORING. Thor is in there right now, hammering something.  So you can see where recording would be prohibited just now. The band is rehearsing, though. Right now.  ”Godless.”  The thing I am most displeased about is the coffee today. It is pretty weak.

Snippets:

ITEM. Aren’t you excited about these big Italian Christmas shows? I am! (Not sarcastic!) I will be working during the shows – showing movies with Scotty – but you will need a ticket to get in.   For Seattle, go here, and for the PDX shows, go here.  I really want to see 1776 on the 13th. I just did the art for their new album and I haven’t even seen them play live yet, that’s how dumb I am.

ITEM. A reminder about the Beat The World Guild Guitar Contest. This contest ends January 5th, so you had better go to the BTW site and sign up. Plus, Elliott told me last night that the guitar being given away is the same model Pete is using in the “I Dreamt Of Yes” video. Trivia!

ITEM. Court thought you should see the juxtaposition of Logan Lynn’s video “Bottom Your Way To The Top” on the Spike-TV site.

Be good.
