Getting things done.

Also, Love Of Everything + Locks have been added to the 12/27 show in Chicago. What a homecoming, indeed.

Things I don't want to forget for the next project:
The Musher
"In The Hot Tub. In Your Bathrobe."
"It Looks Like A Star"

Far From Heaven

So. Was getting things done today... then I remembered that this town runs on a snails pace, so I was stopped short from getting it all accomplished. Also, the album art got fucked in the transfer to the transparency so I've got to rethink that all over again.

So... what did I get accomplished then, you ask?

- Posters for Chicago show are closer to completion.
- Got some inspiration for my next recorded works... guess I should release what I've got, though, first.

Sports

A graphic designer/artist I am not. This is clearly the most taxing, unenjoyable part of this whole process. I have screening, video editing and printmaking to do. I know how to do all of those things. I just need the components with which to do so! Getting things from a screen to a medium that I'm satisfied with blows. That is all.

Edit:
Also, poking around on AV Club (as I like to do) and spotted this. Cool.
