this week was a killa

so this week was the mayhem week. in short my friends helped me design the new Sonnets CD artwork. Busy setting up VD show at Double Door and promoting it. Did a dj set at Liars club. Finished mastering recordings. Housesitting hulo and kitty. Both fighting like champs. Working scanning and now archives. Did the Don Cornelius Soul Train Line dance party on Milwaukee ave in Wicker Park (as the Hamburglar) and then played Underground Lounge last night as the Hamburglars. Robble Robble. Went to work today, on my lunch ran to Breakthrough and submitted artwork and mastered cd. After work ran home to start tshirt design and button/stickers design. Ran out of gas. Now im just gonna give myself a break and go see Paul Collins Beat at Ultra Lounge. Then who knows. I need some stress release. It keeps me busy and out of trouble and that is all i can hope for right now. Cheers!!!

cobra'd for life

yeah that was one fun night. After working and running to double door to drop off posters for nate i went to Cobra to do load in/soundcheck. Neither happened. Had some food, went home, cut bangs, got dressed, picked up brooke and chema and edith. E and her clown possie showed up. Too funny. Crombies was, umm, wow. I forgot parts im usually good at. We all did, wow, but it was fun. Got up w clash band and sang Should I Stay or Should I Go. Ripped pants. Too much dancing hah.

photos, reh, kinkos, hidden kitten

Today got some photos done for The Sonnets newest album. Still have not thought of name for it. Killer Maybenauts rehearsal. Worked one song but worked it well. Kinkos nightmare all around. Machine malfunctions and oddballs and bitchy manager (western). Now i work on more songs.

So last night i did the trifecta. Drove to Berwynnnnnnnnnnnnn on no gas to see if i could make it (i did on fumes) had rehearsal/writing session, blew out pa. Did route. Went to Horse Drawn Studios. Finished both 'single' mixes. Came home and plopped. Today i am doing a photoshoot and trying to be somewhat productive. Kitty woke me up by biting me. Playful lil thang. More laters.

black wed '11 recap

the annual black wed show by The Safes went awesome. E and i arrived in time to see our friends and some ol friends. After a round or two we saw the frantic melodic energy of NO ENEMY. Pretty good and great start to night. After a bit we got to play. Addie was addiriffic as usual. Borrowing most Safes gear we plowed through a very chaotic set. Ended with Foolish Dreams, but Frankie O'Malley wanted something off Mystery Girl. So we did 'Say It'. Good times. E and i shared shots cuz Erika Jean bought just 2 heh. She is such a sweetheart. THE SAFES tore it up. I thought the place was going to burst w energy when they did 'When Trust Went Bust'. Ended w a killer version of 'Sight of All Light' E and i returned the favour requesting them to do 'The Sky is Falling' which they did...well! Hung out a bit and chewed some fat and dranks some more. And then went out some more. And some more. and a tiny bit more, the end.

lottoclaus

dear lottoclaus, help me win the lotto from my friends and family!!!

indifferent

so i just got done w karaoke and feeling rather blah and coughy. Wish there was a place where i could magically feel better. So many things i wanna do, so much to accomplsh and yet im running out. Out of time, energy, and positivity. For now, tomorrow waits tho. Maybe give myself a breather.

Exhibitionists

My friend CHema Skandal is a great artist and is showing some of his pieces at The National Museum of Mexican Art for thier Day of the Dead exhibit: http://www.loyolaphoenix.com/features/diversions/article_32cc04ac-fa19-11e0-a7f3-001a4bcf6878.html

Pandora Boxx has come out with a killer song about, what else, wanting a Cooter! Let's make sure her dream comes true ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDZ_qeZk-rA

Last but not least, Crosstown Pub and Grill in Naperville had the Travel Channel up in their biz. They had a hot wings contest and got some needed publicity. I am very happy for their success. http://napervillesun.suntimes.com/photos/galleries/index.html?story=8259284#.Tp39wavK2EY.facebook

Sonnets @ Amhurst Asylum

The Sonnets had an awesome time opening night at the Amhurst Asylum in Valparaiso, IN. We did a short and fast set which included Halcyon Days, Ramparts, and Imunna. The Sonnets covered 2 songs Rock and Roll All Night by Kiss, and I Wanna Be Sedated by the Ramones. Hey the kids were, whats that term? Moshing? Fire dancers (two of them!), corndogs, zombies...cute zombies, excited vicious kitten dancing, and 2 trips around the haunt. See, now i wanna sniff some glue, or eat some glue. I hunger.

Sonnets haunt show tonight

THE SONNETS play Amhurst Asylum opening tonight. Go get your haunt on in Valpo!!!

ok, so im about to go to horse drawn productions studio to listen to last mixes for The Sonnets that we recovered from damaged hard drive. Yay for recovery efforts. Boo to flimsy hard drive and us postal service. Onwards.
