m@rE PHAT LaZ0rZ

Hey, so this goes out to millz whom I hope tells Alex.
I think you and I millz, if and when we can, sit down for say 3-4 hours and work exclusively on some laser burners. Do a phat tag in the paul sweet living room wall where you hold the pen and I operate the computer and adjust the brush sizes and the colors for you as you command me to. You can paint a phat laser pone and Alex should kill that shit too. Just some good excersises to get our laser game up and also some good timelapse filming opportunities.

Cheers!

also I think we should REALLY REALLy look into signing up to be members at the local community access TV station. they WANT us to check out their equipment. It is confirmed that they have multichannel video mixers for us to check out often ...
all the station wants back in return is a copy of the tape... so that they can AIR IT! pretty good deal to me. They seem probably more likely to harbor the aims and goals of UTAG (united technical artists group that Andreas is one day going to spearhead @ cabrillo)

also we should all REALLY REALLy rep as narwallagram/massive-exchange @ Yuri's night as volunteers. Fill out the volunteer form, tell them you are a multimedia BADASS and want to surrender your talents to the greater hyphonic good of NASAs grand-flash-masonic-demonic AMON TOBIN DANCE EXTRAVAGANZA! BONZAI

MOVIE NIGHT!

Yo, it was just discussed here moments ago that we should to a Trey Parker/Matt Stone live action movie marathon!

* Cannibal the Musical
* Basketball
-and-
* Orgazmo

I'd love to set a date that works for everyone and tell our friends to come over and have popcorn and blunts

Sept 22nd Update

After talking to the rest of the household and the bands involved and after the number of artists that had to drop from the lineup we have decided that we need to scale back the size of the show on the 22nd. No outdoor stage, we at least need to stay moderately chill with the neighbors, especially given the number of shows coming up in the fall season.

Looks like as it stands now its going to be an evening with:

STRENGTH (portland, confirmed)

SUGAR & GOLD (sf, confirmed)

the HARSHMELLOWZ (sc, confirmed)

the WALKING DEAD (sacremento, confirmed)

and possibly some other band that S&G knows but I think it might be 1 too many bands in that case.

Luckily the harshmellows don't have a very complicated setup, so having a staff of people that are SUPER on top of it will be the key to making this event happen smoothly. We will need tight security, permanant staffing at the top of the driveway, people manning the bar and taking money all night. We'll need a lot of help from friends, but yanno ... it'll hopefully all work out in the end.
ROCK!

http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifI'm excited to report that I have just booked some personal studio time with Mr. Andy Zenczak of the infamous, Gadgetbox Studios.

I've requested that on either Monday Sept. 24 or Tuesday the 25th, that Andy brings his mobile rig and some microphones over to the Paul Sweet big room for an evening of dirty, stanky, busheiki drum tracking.

What I hope to get out of this is some illy B style drum loops that we can then use to chop, loop, process, and sample to our hearts content. Seems like it will be a good oppurtunity for anybody to suggest any ideas and feels to me that they would love to get loops of for the future. SOOOOO, what I could use from the whole MX crew, besides love, support and encouragement, is to maybe email me some tracks that have feels/styles/voicings/soul that inspires you. I need to get a bunch of ideas on feels and tones I need to capture.

Also, the night of the tracking (I'll let you know what the date ends up being) I could sure use a crew of people to help me capture the right 'vibe'. Mikey, I really would love it if you were there to help hype me up.

After we do the initial drum tracking, I'm scheduled to come to Gadgetbox the first week in October to work with Andy on a Mudbucket-style mixdown. Should be very exciting.

I need to go buy drumsticks.

Paul Sweet Shows

Yo me and Andreas are getting ready to go up to Steve's in Zayante and set up for the 2nd Ho Down of this year. Should be really fun, Andreas, we need to ask him about that Japanese arcade game, and maybe film it.

SEPTEMBER 8TH

THE HARSHMELLOWS
-and-
THE SERENDIPITY PROJECT
8pm $2 entry $1 beer
live art

Things we need to do:
Contact the live artists
Make flyers/print flyers/distribute flyers
Figure out the PA situation
