buenos,

I’m in Costa Rica, and I don’t want to come back.

Good new, we just got word from Derek, our favorite mix master.
He had this to say.

killer stuff- really— the recording/production gets better
every time I get tracks from you guys.

lots of stuff going here- but I think the mix has nice
punch, clarity + separation. there may be a few
taste/preference items you want me to tweak…

kill it!

That’s very refreshing to hear. These pro mixer guys hear a lot of songs and aren’t easily impressed.

As much as I don’t want to come back to Texas until I am fluent in spanish and fluent in surfing, it looks like I’ll be hopping on a 60 ton angel in a few days heading back to home base. “First class, petty cash, sittin next to Vannah White, come on”

Well I guess the band is finished, the world is ending so I hear. If this is true, I leave my silver les paul to Minx, my basses to Meatpie, and the rest of my guitars to my brother….. of wait, we’ll all be dead so it doesn’t matter.
Actually, I think we are supposed to bear hellish disasters for a while before the end. Sounds like a good time!

It may not seem like we have been up to much lately, but we have even more new songs ready to send to post production! I will leak some into the backstage area of scarycherry.com soon, maybe today even…

These are really deep songs about life and finding your place in society and what does it all mean????
And then there’s a song about a moped.

Long Live Scary Cherry.

Things have been slow around camp lately. Everyone is busy making a living and shit and it’s hard to work on new stuff. Even I have been working a bunch lately. Fixing computers and websites. I hate it, but it pays too well to say no.

I need a change in life soon. I hoped to go to costa rica for a month and learn Spanish, but the tax man had other ideas. It seems my to-do list keeps growing and I can’t stay in top of it.

I need to find some healthy friends. Today I heard there was some kind of adventure race where thousands of heLthy people got together and had fun. Too bad i heard about it after it was over That’s the kinda stuff I want to get into. I wanna find some people that like to challenge their bodies instead of their livers.

I have another big problem now. I have a old house that I rent out. It old and falling apart, but the tenant wants to fix everything. That’s cool, but it takes him a year to get anything done. The kitchen and bathroom are torn out and have been that way for over a year. He wants to buy the house from me. I would LOVE to sell it, but he can’t get a loan with the house torn apart.
Yesterday he called me to let me know he was in a car wreck and broke his back and legs.
Now he can’t work and he’s disabled for at least several months. He’s a cool guy and I am concerned for his well being, but now I am also concerned for mine! I just assuming he won’t be able to pay rent, hopefully I am wrong!!! At least hes a cool guy and we are friends.
There are lots of problems that can arise in real estate and I think I’ve dealt with almost all of them.

Well it was nice to bitch.

I’m off to build a wheelchair ramp.
