dear jane: JOURNAL

We played the Commando Rock show last Sunday in Fountain Valley, California it was so much fun and we met some really great bands you can check them all out at http://www.commandorock.com :)

So, yesterday was wonderful! anna and i played in the mud and soaked in mineral water - SO NICE - we had a fab time, and have decided that we have to save our money to get a season pass to the spa.
I had my first day of college today, not as much stress as i had originally anticipated. But it was only the first day. I still have to get books and do tests . . . im sure the stress will come.
We have yet to recieve our undoubtedly wonderful cd, but it will be coming soon. Then we'll put the songs up on the site.

So today is a designated relaxation day for anna and I. We are going to a hotspring/day spa to soak in the mud. C'mon, a girl needs to be pampered in the rough schedule of rock, record, rock somemore! AAANNNNDDD I am starting college tomorrow, talk about stress.

It has been CONFIRMED we will be playing a Commando Rock show next SUNDAY, August 28th in the Staples Parking Lot in Fountain Valley, California across from the Guitar Center (on Euclid). We are so excited to play another one of their events it is always a party! See our show page for more details and also http://www.commandorock.com -dj

Yeah, we spent 15 and a half hours in, basically, one room together. May I just say AHHHHHHHHHHH. And we got home at four o'clock this morning. And got up before 8am. *WHINE*
I'm kidding, we had a blast, and hope we will get our best cd yet.

Well we spent 15 1/2 hours yesterday recording at Big Scary Tree studios in Los Angeles we are too exhausted to tell tales but pics and hopefully some fabulous new tracks will be up on the website by the end of this week!

Back from the great 4-day wilderness adventure with Ginny & our families. Ok it was a campground. Ok a cabin was involved. But I slept in a tent! Ok I had an air mattress. But not the first night! Highlight would be Ginny's family's annual HIKE TO THE FALLS it was gorgeous and COLD and I LOVED IT. Plus I FELL so I get to show off my bruised, swollen, leg, which I hardley ever get to do after a weekend of watching too much TV while playing guitar! I also kinda hurt my left writst cause I'm a BABY and I was thinking maybe camping & hiking wasn't the best choice the weekend before the GREAT RECORDING TUESDAY but it's ok now I was just being a BABY.

Last night was CAKE at the House of Blues in Anaheim, Cali and they were AMAZING how much do I LOVE them http://www.cakemusic.com I'm SO IN LOVE with them ok with John well ok with the band! The night started out just right with my friend and co-CAKE fanatic driving me TO THE SHOW I love not driving it almost made up for having to see CAKE at House of Blues DOWNTOWN DISNEY location oh seeing Cake at Downtown Disney oh fat and pregnant with potential irony that reality is. Also nice was singing along to ALL the CAKE songs on the car stereo all by myself oh maybe they wanted to hear CAKE singing them but oh NO why just THAT when I can harmonize and sing over every word!!! Oh and CAKE performed Rock and Roll Lifestyle during the 3-song encore which I almost died I was so happy to hear them play that song live although he left out the BEST CHANT at the the end.. 'excess ain't rebellion... you're drinkin' what they're sellin'... excess ain't rebellion... you're drinkin'.. you're drinkin' what they're sellin'.... (by CAKE) oh OH OH so just a little sad I didn't get to yell along with THAT although I was not supposed to be yelling cause the GREAT RECORDING DAY is this Tuesday!

SO HEY TOMORROW we go into the studio (did I mention)!to record some demo tracks maybe we'll actually have a demo cd. So three of us. Up in LA. Artists Loft District. Little Tokyo. WE MAY GET DISTRACTED! Ron has threatened to bring tequila so we know that maybe ANNA's TRACKS won't get recorded (but she'll have some nice memories)!
