Status & To-Dos, 6/15
I figure if I abuse you with to-do lists I might as well let you know how I am doing too.
Life has been incredibly busy since the music festival. The past two weekends Elise and I have been at the Tin Angel to see our two freelance clients play, and now they're both playing at MusikFest. That is pretty freaking exciting.
In the meantime, AC has been getting back into the rehearsal swing. We played a fun featured spot at Studio Luloo in NJ. On Saturday we had an epic drumming rehearsal with Chas. Epic and one of my favorite days of hard work, ever. I really enjoy playing music with Chas. I hope we get to do a lot more of it this year.
I was so beat on Sunday. I was having trouble climbing stairs. Not sure if this can solely be pinned on the epic drumming or potentially partially on helping Ross&Laura move into their house on Friday, but I was completely listless. Elise and I camped out in the living room the entire day.
Otherwise, work has been crazy-challenging - a daily no-lunch-break dash to keep things running at Peter quality. And, if you missed it on CK, I posted 14 new demos in 7 days from 6/1 - 6/7. I was ecstatically happy every day. I'm taking some time to rehearse the next 14 a bit, but they're coming sooner than later.
Alrighty.
Tonight, roughly in order of priority (good lord, there's a lot):
Complete top-secret mixing project; send off for approval Took about 3hrs, on top of a prior 1hr of file cleanup and a 3hr recording session. And, all of this just for vocals!
Upload/Burn the video of CK for the NBC10 contest. Uploaded to YouTube for our impending fan run-off vote.
Check NBC10 contest dates against Gina's vacation Email sent!
Get the rest of the drumming stuff out of the living room
A load of laundry, perhaps? TWO!
Arrange Albert Hash vocals A mere 40 minutes, plus another 20 of format fussing.
Exercise before bed
Send out AC song poll
Remaster demos from 6/7 (too quiet

Open the new computer (!!!) and verify the sort of monitor input it has.

Set up a draft of writing for Josh; maybe even the colleges spreadsheet?
