We had a relatively relaxing weekend again, with two days off for Jeff to continue work on the tracks. Nothing too outrageous this time around, but we keep finding more and more old friends and random acquaintances through small degrees of separation.
Friday night our friend Kevin Welding came to visit - he's getting his doctorate in economics and California girls at UC Santa Barbara. We boozed and rode golf carts on the Paramount studio lot with my friend Wes from school, and later attended a formal cocktail affair with some other ex-Philadelphians, horribly under-dressed of course. Saturday we were invited to a BBQ with other east coast transplants, some smart and insane Princeton kids working mostly in entertainment. Jon ran into a high school classmate who just happens to be writing with our friend from home. Later in the evening I just happened to bump into my ex-College roomie at a diner at 3am.
Peter Torres and his lady took us out for all you can eat Korean BBQ on Sunday and we closed the place down. Our hostel friend Alad won his film festival. Good times.
We're now back in the studio on the guitars, moving along nicely. At this point, half of the tracks are ready for keys and vox with the remaining songs about 60-80% knocked out. Its all still a bit disorienting, but there's light at the end of the tunnel. The quality of the sound is light years beyond our previous efforts, and the record is really starting to take shape. Exciting stuff. Exciting, maddening stuff.
Production note - some fret on any guitar will always be the slightest bit out of tune and it will fuck your shit up.
Updated celebrity encounters: Maggie Gyllenhaal, that dude who plays Lloyd on Entourage.
