We’re All In This Together

So…

I got back from L.A. Sunday afternoon at 4pm ET.  I had been up until 4 am PT, recording Ken Oak’s cello part on one of my new songs(What We Do Not Know…kind of like Innocence Mission meets Simon and Garfunkel) and then singing on Theft’s new EP.  My flight left at 8 am from LAX, but I had to return the rental car at 7 am.  It’s about a half hour drive from where I was staying to LAX. 

I slept for an hour and a half.  I should have just skipped it.  Anything less than three hours is almost pointless. 

My week in L.A. was very productive.  Shows were great.  I am working on a plan to go back as soon as I can.  Hung out with old friends and made some cool new ones.

I saw a comp of the new www.andyzipf.com and it’s killer.  I can’t wait until its up.  Everything is consolidated.  Tour dates, photo gallery, all of my cybernetc haunts, mp3s, this blog and much more to come.  It will be good to have a home base that I can direct people to.  Again…if you have any suggestions about what should be on there, now is the time to let me know.

The Henry Poole is Here song is being mixed now.  Should have something for you to listen to soon.  Its due this week.

Today, I’ve begun to record a song I just wrote.   Lyrics aren’t done, but the music is.  Melody always shows up first.

I flew in Monday to LAX on Virgin Airlines.  I usually go with Southwest, but I found a deal through Hotwire. If you haven’t flown with them, you should try it sometime. Neon lights, personal TV on each seat, order drinks and food whenever you want. Pretty snazzy. When I landed, I got a free upgrade to a midsize rental because Budget was out of economy cars. Score.  Good thing, cause we needed the space for the gear.

Our first show on Tuesday at The Gypsy Lounge was great.  Theft graciously let us borrow a drum kit, 72 Strat and the new Line 6 amp for the week.  They rule.

Last night, we played at Greene Records with Ken Oak, hung out with some good pfriends and then headed back to Pasadena, where we are staying for the next couple of days. 

Tonight is THE HOTEL CAFE show! I’m really excited to be playing there.  Somebody’s coming out to take pictures, so I’ll post those when I get them.

Later.
