We were going through hour 2 of a lengthy background info-gathering process, rifling through family health and sexual history and all ( Read more... )

All right, enough of this radio silence. Here's what's been going on in the last month or so, plus or minus the next week:

* cluegirl and I have our (please, gods) last recording session for Pretty in Scarlet this weekend, along with some Murder Ballads band photos for the back cover and a trip to the bank to start up our official band checking account ( Read more... )
