We’re playing a new year’s eve gig tonight at a ski resort. Seeing how the canyon is getting a major dump of snow the evening will be interesting before we even get to the gig. A report will follow.

The following text is exactly as I received it in my mail:

Your desires and true beliefs have a way of playing blind man’s bluff. You must corner the inner facts…
All can be we saved direectly to can your hard-drive.
It is well, when judging a friend, to remember that he is judging you with the same godlike and superior impartiality.
Just look at preview.See by your capo own eyes.
Chance generally favors the prudent.Plunge boldly into the thick of life, and seize it where you will, it is always interesting.
Sometimes my clients amaze me with what they can find. Look at this new form of CD/DVD disc storage. This could change the whole disc storage landscape for years to come.
You’ve spent hundreds of hours working on your album. You’ve spent thousands of dollars in recording, mastering, musicians etc. Your new master is the culmination of countless hours worth of work. You wouldn’t want to trust your master to just any old CD case. You need:
Welcome to the other side… If you’re reading this, the new server switch has been successful.
I’m going to be changing servers in the next day or so. The site may go down for a bit. See you on the other side…
Back in the old days at my favorite drum shop (no longer around), my buddy had a drum pad there with a pair of sticks. Drum customers would grab the sticks and play that pad as fast as they could for 60 seconds and challenge the drum salesman. Very seldom did anyone beat the drum salesman in this speed duel. I may have once or twice.
Now there’s a box you can pick up which can measure up to 99,999 strokes over time to measure how many strokes you can actually play. There’s even a world wide contest called the WFD (world’s fastest drummer). The contest even has it’s own babes, “the girls of WFD.” Maybe if I enter the contest I can get a babe. I might be able to beat it even faster with the help of the “girls of WFD.”
The world record is held by Mike Mangini, with 1,274 strokes in 60 seconds.
Got off the phone with a dude who is the “manager” of a death metal band here. Now, if you’re a death metal band in this town and you have a “manager” you’ve got to wonder…
Anyway, he was explaining to me on the phone today how he “knows about this business.”
And why is this guy such a vast wealth of knowledge about the music industry?
“His x-wife’s dad used to know Don Henley’s old neighbor.”
Man. Does this dude have connections or what?
Part of my business is in the duplication world. I do tons of CD/DVD work. The Christmas season is the busiest time of year for the duplication industry. I’m slammed right now. I’m going through tons of materials and need more.
There’s a company right down the street from me that manufactures an (unnamed) certain material that I use constantly. This material is made out of plastic.
This company is a little strange. They have a several hundred thousand square foot facility for manufacturing and warehousing their “product.” At any given time they can have millions and millions in the warehouse.
Given that this season is the busiest of the year, I placed an order with this company early in November. On my purchase order I specified when I’d be by to pick the order up. When I got there, the warehouse was empty. No product, no humans.
I wandered all through the warehouse and finally ended up talking to a lady I’ve dealt with before there. I asked where my buddy the warehouse manage was. Turns out, he doesn’t work there anymore. She wouldn’t tell me if he quit, or was fired.
I asked if my order was ready and she then informed me that they were out of stock. Now I’m not talking about a big order. I’m talking about 2000-3000 units, where they usually have millions in stock.
She informed me that they weren’t manufacturing the product for about two weeks. The reason? It costs them less NOT to operate than it does to produce their product. What??
I checked in again today (close to 3 weeks after my last discussion with them) and they’re still shut down. They’re not out of business. They’re just not manufacturing during the busiest time of year.
