Did it Happen?

The car was packed up… did the band practice happen? It’s been so very long…

Yes! Yes it did happen! All four of us were there. The first band practice in ages!

Yes, we sucked but who cares! It was fun and we weren’t nearly as bad as we could (should) have been. We have tentative plans to try again next week. Fingers crossed, folks. A few practices… get back into playing shape… relearn a bunch of songs… book a gig. That’s the hope. We’ll see how it goes.

Stop Changing Things

Robin Sparkles looks at me and asks, “why are you moving furniture around and bringing in new stuff and hanging stuff on the walls? Don’t you know you’re messing with my vibe?”

But check it out, cat. We have a rack to put shoes on and a new hook to hang clothes on. Cool, right?

I don’t think Robin the Cat agrees that it is cool.

Garfunkel

I just hung some art (Garfunkel) in our bedroom.

Lily the Cat is not impressed.

Furniture

Browsing.

Back to Life

Now that it’s March I can get back to normal life. I’m over a month over due for a haircut and am looking clown-esque. Time to fix that.

Almost Done

I think Miss Robin is going to be happy when February is over and I stop hyper focusing on RPM Challenge music.

Emotional Support

Knowing that today is going to be a very busy day for me, Miss Robin Sparkles has offered to serve as my Emotional Support Cat for the day.

Well… maybe not the day. Maybe the three minutes she was in the room with me before she wandered off. I’ll take it.

I should note that Lily is in the room with me right now and has been for over an hour, but she’s hiding in a closet so she really isn’t much help either.

The Last Day

Tracking is finished. I added lead guitars to the last three songs and then started mixing. I’ve plowed through three mixes already but there are still five left to do. The phrase that pays as far as mixing goes is “quick and dirty.” I just want something to upload, it is not going to be anything particularly good but it will exist and that’s good enough for me today.

This was the last song I started working on, and the last song to get vocals, and the last song to get lead guitars, and the 11th song to be mixed.

Also, I played my Les Paul Custom today and it came through for me on this song. I actually enjoy the leads here. That’s not normal for me on this year’s project.

Regal

The regal, majestic, Lady Robin Sparkles.

Photo a Day

This morning I snuck in a few pics to cover today’s photo a day challenge picture. I had just finished adding the final tracks to a song and I picked up the camera while listening to the playback. Here is today’s entry, 180/365:
