My real job picked up just in the nick of time and I'm doing overnights at Outside Lands this weekend, switching out headliner's equipment at the second-largest stage at the festival. Last night we loaded out some god-awful Christian techno act from France and then brought in Sigur Ros's gear and I'll get to see a bit of them tonight which is ( Read more... )

Finally I might be in the mood to update again. Even if only for a minute ( Read more... )

Flying home tonight, more than ready for this trip to be over. I had the biggest fucking nightmare trying to get back to Naomi's area from Victorville yesterday. That nice commuter bus that used to run between Victorville and the Metrolink station in San Bernardino seems to be no more, so the only ways out of the high desert are Amtrak, which costs ( Read more... )

At Sherry and Bret's in Victorville, going to parents' house tomorrow. Watched Walking Dead all weekend and am hooked on that show now, need to watch from beginning when I get home (note to self: that's the first order of business when we get home).

It is Wednesday and I am so happy I just got the BEST night's sleep since Libertatia. Everything has been hectic and busy since coming home Sunday, dealing with going on tour pretty much straight away and driving all night to Portland and on top of it all dealing with possibly the WORST roadie ever. I/we did not sign up to deal with an ( Read more... )

I usually don't like to post the same stuff on here as on Tumblr (which I'm still barely using so far), but these deserve to be shared far and wide. I don't know the person in the first video but it still pretty much sums it up.

Is Livejournal on crack today? I tried updating earlier and it just lost my entry and refreshed the page then asked if I wanted to post something else completely, then a minute ago I tried posting in a community and it went to my own journal instead.

This place has been glitch central in recent months.

So, that sore eye Friday turned into a swollen eyelid that night/early the next morning, and is now even more swollen and sore, with a little bit of crust discharge (crustcharge?) on the side. I REALLY hope this is something that passes on it's own... I've looked up stuff about swollen eyelids and there's no other symptoms so I'm hoping that means ( Read more... )

I got my band on the radio today. Sent a CD to KALX a couple weeks ago for their show that does demos and pre-releases and today they got around to it and played two tracks. That was interesting. Not sure what possessed them to play 'Refuse/Resist' first, the hidden track, and it was funnier too that the DJ didn't seem to know it was a cover. Then ( Read more... )
