Day 2 - fuckin' done/duckin' fun

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes.

I'm done, Aaron's done, Norm's done and Griffin's done. We're done. All the tracking is done. It's finished. We don't have any more tracking to do.

That's not entirely true. We are doing group vocals tonight; we didn't quite have time to do them while Chris was around. It'll be more fun this way, much less pressure and the schedules work out so our bros can sing with us as well. Plus, I get to record it and it's a little bit of a personal accomplishment to be engineering something for the record. Yay.

By the way, we finished tracking. I don't know if i nailed that point in yet.

The last 48 hours were so very intense. Aaron basically lived in the tracking room (aka. Griffin's bedroom) the whole time, recording 5 songs in a day and a half. We were doing about one song a day in Portland, so it was quite a task. In addition, Norm and I had return blood draws at Gateway Medical at 6 PM friday and 6 AM today. We were up until 2 AM tracking, so i'm currently on that loopy feeling of not enough sleep/too much caffeine. I'm pretty jittery, and it's unfortunate that you can't tell exactly how many times i've hit the backspace key in writing this.

Sir Walla is currently heading to Lambert International Airport in a vehicle with Griffin. He has served his time, and now we play the waiting game. We won't get things started on mixing until September, but it will be nice to get this whole thing out of our heads for a month.

Time to live like normal people for a while.

So how about instead of that whole living like normal people thing, you instead drive up to michigan and play a show? The grand rapids, or traverse city scenes would love you guys. Even though if i were you guys i wouldnt be looking forward to driving anywhere far anytime soon.
