1. I just sanded all the primer off of the Jackson. I think it took longer to sand off the new primer than the old paint. What happened was a friend of mine mentioned “sandable primer” at a party last weekend. Here I thought all primer was sandable. Back to the interwebs for more research. Until then, maybe I’ll buy a bridge for it and string it up just for fun. I also think I’ll be buying a router soon.
  2. Those body shapes I laminated are going to be my “practice” body. It’ll take more work to sand the sides down than it would to route a new body from a 13×17″ blank. I just glued one now.
  3. I’m never going to finish these projects.
  4. I’m going to Milwaukee for their Zinefest in July, a week after our Zinefest. I think I’m performing there. Richmond is October 11, and I’ll be hitting that one too if all goes as planned.
  5. I need to start recording again. I hit sort of a weird mood earlier this week and found myself on Tuesday night retreating into the fields of Northfield at 2am to look at the stars and regroup. I got bit up by bugs and headed home, stopping for a half hour at a wayside rest to play guitar. I decided that I already got what I needed from those experiences when I was 19 or 20, and that I need to ditch my habits of solitude and venture into the world of people.
  6. I want to spend the 4th on my roof.
