Ok. First of all, let me just say that 24 was ________________ ! I especially liked the part when Jack ___________ with his gigantic ____________ and kicked ass! Hmm, if I ever do drugs and my life falls apart, I think I’m going to become an elementary school teacher and make them write about their “Favorite Time Jack Bauer Kicked Ass” even though, by that time, 24 will be obsolete and the kids will look at me and say “24?” as I did my parents about “The Happy Days,” “The Golden Girls,” and “Alf.” Just a thought. In other news, I’m feeling a lot better thanks to Dr. Augmentin and his sexy decongestant nurse, Miss Entex PSE 400. Feeling good, I went and saw Friday Night Live with an old friend, Ryan Gaumont. Well, he’s not really an old friend–just a friend I haven’t hung out with all year, practically. And he’s my age so he’s really not an old friend. I wish I took a couple pictures because the show was really good. I was in FNL last year but only got to do the first semester show since, as last week, I got my annual sick. We had a good time catching up and may even possibly collaborate this summer on new and exciting projects. For those of you who don’t know, Ryan was my first-hand man working on Hobos in Space.
Speaking of Hobos in Space, I’m working on relaunching the site, hobosinspace.com, to include a slew of content including a streaming/downloadable version of the entire film. I will also post other extras like the original script, the pre-show slides from the premiere, trailers, bloopers, and whatever other junk I can find. I’ll let you know when that happens. This morning I headed over to my alma mater, Rhodes Junior High, and did a little recording project with them. It’s the end of the year and Claire Sievers, the orchestra director and guitar teacher, asked Dan if we could come because the kids really wanted a CD of the year’s highlights. So that was fun; got to go back to Rhodes for the first time in years. The rooms are a little smaller than I remember. The music is played a little worse than I remember. And the band room smells a lot more than I remember. I guess that’s all part of growing up and becoming a better musician. I would have never noticed the things I noticed today back then. It’s kind of sad. I don’t want to grow up!
