It's.On!

i'm in New York.......my Interpol tour is finally started.
3 weeks rehearsing in N.Y.C...not too shabby right?.
i flew in yesterday from New Orleans, where i've been working hard on Lilys house.
Truth be told, the last week was spent mostly on my computer sorting out endorsement issues and all the fun things that happen before you actually get to the rehearsal space......people have new gear, others want new gear.....guitars are being re fretted in brooklyn, flight cases are being made....blah blah blah....
in reallity, i worked my ass off on the house only on friday, saturday and sunday.....
i was helping make a wooden fence in the back yard, and clearing the back yard of rubble and dirt....
manual labour basically.
i've got sore bits on my sore bits!
today me and bobby, Interpols drum tech, are going to electric ladyland studios in manhatten to pick up the bands gear and put it in a big truck for rehearsals tomorrow....
tha band will not be actually in the house until thursday....
this gives us a chance to make all the looms and mark up stuff before they arrive, and maybe get a head start on any surprises that are in store.....
there are a bunch of new crew guys who i'll meet over the next few days....
i did get a bit of good news on the lighting front....heres hoping it all works out!
peace
