WELL.. me and pin are sitting down in coral springs - florida.. in Bielerbros studios eating salty popcorn.... mikee is playing x-box.. dan is skinning his kit in the live room, James is sipping coffee in the chill room and Justin is discussing one of the tunes with our engineer ('mike le plant') damn - this place is so perfect... we're staying in a posh hotel with a beautiful pool... we're next door to a 'dennys' (coffee shop thing)... the studio is better than ALL the studios we have been to for vibe, equipment, location... we have also made 'roys bar' our local... our body-building barman (mike) has been serving us up copius ammounts of beers (1.25 a pint - with a free re-fill!).. Life - at the mo - couldnt be better.
this is our 2nd day.. we flew from heathrow on monday morning.. arrived at washington dc at 3.00pm ish USA time.. to get our connecting flight to Fort Laurderdale... somehow we forgot to put one of the suitcases on that flight - so when we got to our destination had to go mad ringing the airline - luckily United airlines found the case (which had the loords dbl bassdrum pedals in!) and forwarded it to the studio - since that panic its just been gettin rid of the jet lag - swimming lots - goin out for the BIGGEST steak with our label - and generally trying out loads of amps and stuff. Our label boss is very into experimentation.. he has wanted to sign us for a long time and really wants us to 'do our thing' which is cool...
tomorrow we will begin the recording... we are all so excited.
