practice makes

After dragging a heavy guitar, a computer, some miscellaneous bags and the world's heaviest foley kit up and down the subway and eventually down into a deep, dark basement in the heart of Brooklyn the first practice of the live version of Gravity Was Everywhere Back Then commenced! Yay! My set up was between the water heater and a pump organ, crouched on the ground facing the screen while Brent, Drew & Missy (who we saw the night before play an amazing set with their fellow bandmates as part of the Hillstock music fest) stood behind me playing, um, a lot of stuff!  Now that we have emerged from the basement I think we are ready to scale the rooftops & head to Hollywood, right? Tomorrow we are California bound and I am more than ready for some sun (rubs eyes as emerging from dank basement into the seemingly endless New York overcast). Also, a special thanks to the lovely & amazing Rahul  who has been the best host one could ask for while staying in a rainy NY for almost a week- wish him luck on his lawyering exam and his pursuits in the name of love!
