Back in the swing

Thanks to you all who came out to the Soquel show. I have to admit I was a little nervous to get up after being away from the mic for such a long time, but you all helped me realize that I really do have something special to offer. Thanks also to Reed for setting the show up, and the Ugly Mug for being the hardest to find corner coffee shop in Soquel. I seriously circled the damn thing three times before figuring out where it was… right in front of my face.

Idlewild

i havent really slept in two days. its idlewild 2005, the second installment of a party thrown by a dude named ivan who lives down in temecula and is friends with paul and in the inverse crew.

ive never seen such dedicated drug enthusiasts and coming from pacific grove thats saying something. but surprisingly its been really mellow, we had live music last night and the bands who came kind of just switched around and all of us who were musically inclined back to participate.

the house this is being held in is a three story rental overlooking a valley and the smog of LA. the scenery reminds me a little of lake tahoe with the dryish shrubby plants and pine trees. its a beautiful area actually. but definitely one i was just want to visit. it’s a little to remote for my liking.

the second story of the house has been converted into a night club of sorts complete with live dj’s and smoke and light machines. the house music never fucking stops. which is good and bad. i dont really mind house and jungle music but for the most part, bass pumping at 130 bpm can only sound so many different ways.

if i survive the rest of this trip i’ll finally have my car back and i guess i’ll have to finally start looking seriously for a job :P and i’ll have to try being more… sober.
