A few things I’ve been up to:

• I start mixing a new New Year record tomorrow. As with The End Is Near, they tracked with Steve Albini at Electrical Audio, and we’ll do overdubs and mixing at the Lab.
• Had a couple of tremendous meals, first Saturday night at La Mexicana with the Tre Orsi, MagElecCo, Dave Bazan, and Casiotone crews, then Sunday morning at the Taco Lady with Tre Orsi, Bazan, Casiotone, and Rob G + Melanie. Camaraderie is a beautiful thing.
• I’ve (finally) started working with the Querencia Community Bike Shop
• Over the past few months, I’ve given serious thought to leaving UNT and going back full-time to audio work. If all goes as planned, I should be leaving just in time for the ensuing Shearwater and New Year tours in 2007. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I embrace its warm glow.
