Checking off lists…

    Katey and I attended the Mariners/Rangers game this past Monday, her first ever trip to the Ballpark here, and my first in, what, five years? (Jeez, has it been that long? Now that the Frisco RoughRiders are closeby, I’ll definitely be taking in more games.) Rangers lost 5-4, giving up 4 runs in one inning early on, and never making it up despite a 3-run homer in the 5th. Good times, though.

    Leaving Monday for the Vanderslice tour, meeting up with JV and DD in ATL, where they bid adieu to current FOH guy/TM, Dan Brennan. Still have a lot of prep-work to do today, mostly finishing up the advances for a few shows and making sure I have all the gear I’ll need. Very much looking forward to it: JV is playing as a 2-piece, and I get to mix the opener, St. Vincent. Good hotels, good food, good shows — sounds lovely.

    Tre Orsi will be recording our first 7″ on 13 May, with Bubba Kadane producing. Shit! Artwork plans are still up in the air! What are we going to do? I dunno!

    I have mentioned how much I love my Moleskine notebook? And Google Calendar? I had been thinking about getting Treo phone for keeping up with my calendar and various lists, but I’ve found the notebook/regular cellphone (w/ Gcal SMS alerts) much more usable. Thanks so much to geek productivity wizard, Merlin Mann for his collection of Moleskine hacks and other infinitely useful lifehackery.
