it's been a largely grey week in chicago which i like a bit, tend to keep things cool and comfortable, good for walking or looking out windows. spent some hours last night working on the new ep and got a lot of good work done between the 12-string, nylon, banjo, and a wooden box for beating on. i'll write about the ep soon. the big recent news is i got booked for the acoustic lounge at the elbo room, a really popular music spot in the city that can draw a hell of a crowd. i saw the place for the first time at a battle of the bands featuring our friends in The Cell-Phones, an incredible band, and the place is impressive. ive been given the 9-12 slot on monday october 5th ($5 cover) and if i can bring in at least ten people they will ask me to return again for bigger shows. very excited, and the 3 hour set (with optional breaks anytime i want) has me digging out songs long-forgotten. a lot of tunes from the original high school ep's are likely gone for good but a few of them i've been working on today along with some songs from the time that i never recorded but found demos for tucked away in music folders. i'm excited to see how the old blends with the new and how quickly my fingers fall off. i give til 10:54.
