Greetings from Nashville, TN

Hey ya’ll. I hear there’s a foot of snow back in Ohio. I wish I could say that it’s crazy warm here, but that would be a lie. It’s definitely brisk if I do say so myself, but no snow. But much to the contrary of most Ohioans, I love the snow. Can’t get enough of it….i just hate that in between rainy, cold, cloudy weather that we seem to get quite frequently.

Anyways, we’ve been having some good times down here in TN. And by we, I mean myself and Joshua Vance Smith, assistant Engineer extraordinaire. Josh is my buddy down here, who actually lives in the Studio that I’ve been working at. Here’s a picture of him from my trip down here in July.

Like I said, Josh lives in the Studio, so we’ve been hanging out alot.

Last night, we went to our spot, The International Famous Twin Kegs. Over the summer, Josh, Jerry, Colleen and I all went there my last night in town and met this dude Lester who was passed out at the bar, and took pictures of him.

Well, this time was a little more interesting. It was karaoke night, and apparently it’s the lesbian hang out, cause we were the only dudes there, and the ladies didn’t seem to notice us….haha.

So today we hung out around the studio, and decided to start working on Josh’s project for the backyard. We raked out all the leaves, and pulled vines out of the tree for about 3 hours. It was hard work, but the backyard is gonna look great for the Sputnik Christmas party.

I got to hear some cool records being worked on while we toiled away. Then we got into the Lovedrug-Copeland show for FREE, which is always a good thing. I finally bought “Sucker Punch Show” and was listening to it on the drive home. It sounds great.

Since we were already downtown we hit up some honkey-tonks, and enjoyed a fried bologna sandwich from Robert’s Western somethin or other.

Tomorrow, I’ll meet up with my buddy Justin who’s working at Smoakstack, the studio where we tracked drums and bass for “Eighty-nine”, and Josh and I will be chillin with Vance at Sputnik tomorrow night. Maybe I’ll get a mix or two? cross your fingers.
