I’ve given up on revising my thesis for now. I’m not going to be able to focus on it with the job for Marti so far from completed, and with so much to do before I leave LA for four months.

Today I am testing all my audio gear before hitting the road.
I’m also hoping to repack and start disassembling the garoffice.
I’m getting all the love mixtapes exported, and will get the first batch burned today, I hope. I’ll leave the first one on the bus on Sunday when I travel North to SF.

I’ll be there ten days: trying to say goodbye to a ton of people; finish the Marti job; revise my thesis; say goodbye to the GF; and record music for the Bounded by Silence project Phil and Libby and I are working on.

I’m hoping to record bits of that record with every musician I stay with. That’s a lot of people over the next four months. The heart will be me and Phil and Libby writing lyrics and laying down frames. Of course, by then, we’ll be laying down frames over pieces recorded with Nobu and Alex and a number of other folks, so…
The hope is to create the bastard child of David Thomas and Marilyn Manson, wetnursed by Comus.

I had a great convo about the editing of Disembody with my father this morning. I am thinking I’ll buy another travel drive so I can take the footage from the project. I’ll try to watch it and get a feel for what we have while on the road.
Because I really needed something else to do on this trip, LOL.

Spent a couple hours on email and FB this morning chatting with folks I hope to see on my trip.

Blah that’s enough blathering for now. I can’t wait to see my GF tomorrow!
