Chilling at home.. 51 hours to get there

Shannon Roddy gets the champion of the year award for driving with me 51 hours straight to Massachussets from LA with the company Sprinter van. It was probably the coolest accomplishment i have ever done besides skydiving. Luckily I get to fly back since the van is going out on tour. 51 more hours would most likly send me into lunicy.

So I just talked to my Grandfather from my dads side of the family. Unfortunatly he has alzheimers. It was so good talking to him. He has always been that grandfather who has lived super far away, so i havn't got to talk to him much. It was so sad because half way through the conversation he started calling me Jack (my dad) and how it was so nice to hear from me. I think i need to call him more often. I never really did get to connect with him and from what my dad tells me, he tells great stories.. For example he has this whitty sense of humor. Like when i told him i drove across country, he said " yea and i hear that takes a few gallons of gas" so then we started talking about gas prices, and he told me he used to buy gas for 19 cents a gallon, and then he was like "then they upped it to 20 cents.. and we all went crazy" haha .. what an amazing guy. Its too bad he isn't a believer.. so if your a praying person, please lift up my Grampa Deardorff.

Like i said before I am In Mass now with my folks taking a little time off while doing a lot of work as well. I also got to record my brothers band when i wasn't working. We are doing a new EP with three of their newest songs. We got most of the tracking done but still need to record some screaming and some trombones. Its been a fun process but a tiring one. It has been nice to get away for a little bit.

Did everyone hear about the hurricane taking over new orleans? Its pretty intense, they are asking new orleans residents to evacuate as the city could be under water in the next day or so .

So today topic for the comments board.... What is worse ? A hurricane, tornado, earthquake or flood?

off to cali at the drop of a hat

So after my shameless post last time I have seemed to spark an outrageous amounts of conversations in my comments section. Good times and I am proud of all of you for taking the lead on that one. Even though I think I have an audience of three...(based on previous said comments). Nicole has to get props too for coming up with the idea of creating conversations in the comments section instead of my "Invisible ink" section. So maybe I will start doing small posts that bring up controversial things and then just have conversations with people in the comments. Hopefully this will solve the invisible ink problem.

So anyway here it is.. The next post. Not as shamefull unfortunately.

After returning from San Francisco, San Diego and all the cities in between, I am off to see the rest of the country. Tomorrow actually. I start my drive to Boston to meet up with the Hall and Oates camp at the Boston pavilion. Its a really sweet venue out on the water in Boston. And the best part is I get to see my family for the first time this year!!!

So tonight's controversial topic. What is up with ants in California...I mean seriously, I keep my kitchen spotless for like a week, and they just find a way of coming back.. They even come and join me at my computer sometimes. Today I guess they went back to their holes.. but seriously..ants.. there is plenty of food or water outside...go find some.


Let the comments begin!

Hazaa!!!!

Well the last few days have been fun.. I have driven from San Francisco stopped in LA and with the help of Shannon, we realoaded a van full of gear for this NARM convention. NARM stands for National Association of Retail Merchandising. Now i am in San Diego Its been a lot of fun. And the best part is my hotel has the most amazing view see below. I really wish I had brought my surf board. But for some reason i Just want to go sailing now. Anyone up for it? oh and I will be down here for the entire weekend if anyone feels the need for a road trip. Our afternoons are pretty open.

Finally!!!!

Well its been a little while since i have posted... guess i have been busy. So the last two nights i went to bed at 6 am... talk about messing up your bodily time clock. Work has been stressful, tiring, but very rewarding. We spent the evenings or shall i say mornings working on our sprinter van. Which still has some minor glitches to be worked out.. But the good news is I got to mix my first Black Crowes Instant Live show!!! Yes my very first real gig! And I am really happy with it. And the best thing is that I get to do it tommorow night too. I truley am blessed. Last year about this time, this is definatly where I wanted to be in the coming year, and it has become a reality. But now.. i am tired... so leave me love i am going to bed.
