does anyone else feel more comfortable virtually anywhere but their own house?

and Map to Temenos will have t-shirts as well!

'eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

ohh shiiiiiiit

today I:

- did the dishes
- listened to the smiths

but this is a sign that finally I'm starting to have some free time! yesterday I even went out for dinner!

and remember, folks, this Saturday



(why does blogger insert so much nonsense-markup when you upload an image? why does it say "1 comments"? bizarre)

another thing, using sends/returns simplifies things a-lot

p.s yes, those are post-it smileys you see on the wall behind me

the firestudio is legit as hell

help me I think I'm stuck here

WELL

we can still say we've never played an all ages show

DOWNTOWN ON HALLOWEEN

IS LIKE TURNING GEORGE AND WATER ST. INTO A GIANT TRASH CAN WHERE EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING IS TRASH

SOME PEOPLE ...

today is Halloween! microsoft showed a bunch of bull from windows 7! I still don't know what to dress up as! we're playing at the ship ~10:30!

best part of my day? dudes from Noisefold coming into work and shaking my hand in congratulations for the Errand Boy presentation at Friday's conference

"Hi, we're Errand Boy"

October 4th (Distortion), 10th (CBTGs), 11th (Distortion), 17th (Junction's), 18th (Turner's), 21st (CBTGs), 24th (Eastern Edge), 25th (Ship Inn), 31st (Ship Inn)

what the hell! this is a busy, busy month. so far we've only got one show in November (on the 21st). we did get most of September off though, is this some sort of karma?

sometime after Christmas—probably in late January/February—we're maybe going on a mini tour around the bay with Amusia, and then we've got a big journey to Toronto planned with Map to Temenos in June

you know what that means? merch merch merch! Bryan's worked out some sort of thing with a guy at his work to get a loan of a wacom tablet, hopefully for stickers (and/)or shirts. and there's a lot of stuff in the tubes in terms of songs, set changes and ideas

this coming Friday at the Eastern Edge we'll be presenting our "process creating performance by merging sound and moving images" as a part of the Rock Can Roll Festival. basically tell you all of our secrets while showing the basics of Ableton Live and where to find good source videos. there will be three other presenters. you've probably heard of them too

Conference - Eastern Edge Gallery
SESSION TWO
Artists in Session Two will discuss and demonstrate unique approaches to community building, art-making and performance.

• 4:00pm - Coffee and Talk Touring with the Class War Kids and Jeffy T of the Brat Attack
• 5:00pm - BlocksBlocksBlocks with Magali Meagher - Performer and musician Magali Meagher is a member of Block Recording Club and will present on their work.

• 6:00pm - Volatile Works Media Collective - Glenn Gear and Brad Colbourne are both media artists and members of Montreal based Volatile Works Media Collective. They will screen and discus new work from the collective.
• 7:00pm - Noisefold - NoiseFold is David Stout and Cory Metcalfe from Santa Fe, New Mexico. They create interactive visual-music-noise performances that draw equally from mathematics, science and the visual and sonic arts.
• 8:00pm - Errand Boy - Errand Boy will discuss their process creating performance by merging sound and moving images.

the full schedule is available online. it's three days worth of shows and conferences; something like twelve shows. chances are you'll end up at one of them over the weekend

Mike Mwyatt, signing off

yesterday, I had a meeting

it consisted of popcorn and cigarettes

(I couldn't find a bigger version, sorry)

and would you look at that, Google updated iGoogle

THIS IS WHY TODAY IS THE BEST IN A WHILE

I also had to do this poster for a research team at MUN

• wednesday nights are a mess of teased hair and cleavage
• hearing a youth talking about how obama would somehow turn the states into a black supremacy, that's a sign to bail
• when the band from aways cholo guitarist starts playing like a dude from korn, that's the sign to bail
• tapping is the new scene thing. although mitch is sick on it

ahhhhh freaking incredible

out of the x number of years I've been playing shows with bryan (I think 2 or 3), I would definitely put tonight's show in the top 3

p.s I've got $42.50 for you bryan

I had a day. an exhausting, long day. where things happened that mean I have go to to stavenger dr. tomorrow morning following a visit to the bank to clear a deposit that should have had no problems with it whatsoever, then lug a 24" monitor home on the bus

since when did people working CSR jobs at call centers start doing things properly and by the books? I didn't do a single thing properly at Convergys but I did get things done and quickly and without complaints

anyways, the fact that the Ubuntu 8.10 Beta detected my Macbook 2,1 (atheros chipset) wireless makes up for it all

the big show is tomorrow! come to hava java before and say hi to me

so I have no idea how to use blogger. for a google property you would expect it to be more sensible than it is.

but I did finally get around to trying out chrome for the first time. it is fast (what in lords name, when I switched back and forth from "Edit HTML" and "Compose" the font-size of this paragraph was twice its original size. [oh my god this thing is going crazy]. [okay it just seems to behave terribly in safari. strange when you consider google chose the same rendering engine for their own browser])

ANYWAYS ...
