a WEEK until Austria


I am once again in Denis' room, this time with the whole band. Theo sits just across from me on his laptop writing down the lyrics and installing programs such as photoshop on his mac. We had a scare earlier, well, he did, when he thought he blew the fuse or something by plugging in the wrong wire. Mario is on his laptop designing the sticker for the band. We have agreed on it being beige. And maybe the writing could be an olive-y colour. He is also watching the Flight of the Conchords. Denis is working on the drums, since he is the man, and has now informed us that the New Song is 12 minutes long. He also referred to us all at PCs being similar to that of the big bang theory, which i think is a program?

Austria news: Low On Saturn are no longer playing the gig, so it is just us and Blynd. We have no idea why, and have sent them an e-mail but no reply. I saw pictures of where we are staying in Austria yesterday, and we are actually staying in the Posthof stadium, therefore there must be some living quarters in there somewhere. Each room has two beds with a dining room and kitchen... like a villa of sorts! Really living the high life now..

Yesterday was a 6 hour practice with much done. We worked on vocals and I now sing in more than one song! Good stuff! Mario is now hitting drums for extra percussion in a couple songs, these include a floor tom, two cymbals and a tambourine.

Theo has just shown me his design for a chick's t-shirt. It's really good! Denis said he would wear it. I said I wouldn't. He called me a fag. Then Denis said 'you have my approval, send it to the press'. The silence that followed was then punctuated by Mario's snigger, followed by the words 'epileptic dogs'.

That is all again for now! Will write back soon!
No practice tomorrow since Mario and Denis have a marketing exam on the Tuesday.
