Please don’t approach me in the Whole Foods parking lot

By jim | Published: May 31, 2007
I know I don’t want whatever you are about to try to sell me. I know because I know what I want and you are a kid in shorts and a wife beater that is too long for you in a parking lot with a poorly-laminated piece of paper. You do not have what I [...]

Ouch, my wallet

By jim | Published: May 28, 2007
Ouch. The really awesome thing is that not only is gas expensive as all hell right now, but this particular gas station only had one working gas pump out of six or so. Come on guys, make it easy for me!

In line.

By jim | Published: May 25, 2007
I am in line, and it sucks. In the grand scheme of things, I could be in much more dangerous territory. This is true. I can’t wait to eat my tiny healthy dinner and write a poem or watch a movie.

Southern harmony

I believe this to be the two inch tape machine used to record Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, one of my favorite records. Neat!

Tom and Johnny

By jim | Published: May 22, 2007
I’m watching Johnny and Tom record guitar tracks. Finally getting to hear a guitar amp that I’ve been wanting to check out for a while. It is killer! Unfortunately, my digital camera has come up missing a mere three weeks after I got it. I’m way pissed about that.

What does that one do?

By jim | Published: May 22, 2007
Probably the best thing about being a studio engineer is that you set the pace for the day. No one can get anything done if you don’t know what is plugged into what, and they are obliged to wait while you figure it out. This is also the worst thing about being a studio engineer.

Jon had a flat.

By jim | Published: May 22, 2007
Jon managed to get himself a flat while we were playing a gig on Saturday. I’m not sure how he did it, but he is a talented guy for sure. He thought his tire might have been slashed, but in the end it proved to probably have been a nail. We ended up being treated [...]

slightly flat

By jim | Published: May 18, 2007
I am at Phillips arena, waiting for some unnamed person to stop playing his violin. Actually, it’s the drums that I am here to get. The violin guy is shouting into his microphone. “Are you ready to take it to the next level?!” he screams. Now he’s sawing away at that poor violin again. It’s [...]

Monday at Smith’s

By jim | Published: May 18, 2007
I left the house later than I intended to, as usual. I had my two guitars, my amp, my pedal board, my merch box, my laptop bag and my stage clothes in another bag. Good times. I was just getting on the interstate when my phone buzzed. I wonder how strict they are about the [...]

What a weekend

By jim | Published: May 14, 2007
Well, I had a fantastic weekend, I have to say. I got to spend time with a lot of my friends, which is always good, and I made some new friends along the way. I’m stoked. Really looking forward to playing my show tomorrow night. I have been calling everyone in town to get them [...]
