Interestingly, Sentient features a guy named James playing guitar....he used to play in a band called Lafayette with Chris and Kevin, the two guys I've been playing with recently, so this should be an interesting evening....a little band incest never hurt anybody.
I feel confident in saying there will be a truly significant amount of ass kicked tonight.
Just picked up some new mics at Big Dude's yesterday....they were having a big sale, so I figured better to strike while the iron is hot. Got a Superlux omni/figure-8 at 100 bucks off and a couple Audio Technica 2020 condensers....these should help with the "live in studio"-type demo I'm doing on Wednesday for a unique jazz band (that's traps, bass gtr, gtr, trumpet, sax, and a manic West African-style hand drummer).
I think these are going to become my room mics, and the mics I already have can be my close mics. I have to spend some time with them and do some A/B comparisons before I can use them properly though....
Speaking of band incest, former I guitarist Adam, swell guy that he is, will be lending me some additional mics and gear, including his sound card (!). I have 8 channels of in/out, and Adam's card will make that 16....with 6 players and multiple room mics, I'm going to need the extra channels. Hooray Adam!
OK, I was going to post a new track from the end of June, but I have a lot to say about it and this has turned into a longer post than I wanted it to be, so I'll save it for later. Check back tomorrow.

Neal, hope your night out rocked. Wudja think of the CNN Youtube Dem debate?
I missed the entire thing....the CNN.com player refused to load and I don't have cable. Wudju think?
I got it on youtube -- it was kinda broken up in different parts, but the best thing was a snowman icon who cried that her son wouldn't survive if we don't do something. It was very un-politicanly, but of course they are politicians who know their audience.
My basic question: Who the fuck do I give time and campaign and work my butt off for, like I did for Kerry? I respect your opinions, I think you are very well-informed, so if you got any direction for me, bring it on.
